Description
The British progressive rock legends Yes released their studio album “The Ladder” in 1999, which marks the first studio recording including Igor Khoroshev as a full-time band member. Furthermore, “The Ladder” was the first album in a long time to not be produced by the band itself, but by an external producer – Bruce Fairbairn, who had previously worked with bands such as The Scorpions, AC/DC and Bon Jovi. The album featured three singles (“Homeworld (The Ladder)”, “Lightning Strikes” and “If Only You Knew”) and saw Yes return to a creative form, encapsulating Latin music elements and world music influences. Sadly, Fairbairn passed away shortly before the album’s completion, so Mike Plotnikoff finished his work together with the band. Yes dedicated “The Ladder” to Fairbairn.

"The Ladder" was released in September 1999, peaking at number 36 in the UK Charts. YES dedicated the album to Fairbairn, quoting him: "The first words Bruce Fairbairn said to the band were, 'Make the best YES Album you can, the rest will follow.' It was as simple as that."
