Keystudio

Keystudio is a compilation album by the English progressive rock band Yes, released in May 2001 by Castle Music in the United Kingdom and by Sanctuary Records in the United States. It is formed of the studio tracks previously released on live/studio albums Keys to Ascension (1996) and Keys to Ascension 2 (1997).

== Background == In 1994, in the latest of Yes's many personnel changes, long-term members Trevor Rabin and Tony Kaye left and, core members singer Jon Anderson, bass guitarist/singer Chris Squire, and drummer Alan White reunited with former members keyboardist Rick Wakeman and guitarist Steve Howe. There was critical and fan interest in this particular line-up of musicians due to their collective reputation from the progressive rock heyday of the 1970s. As a sign of "union" and forward movement, the band played and recorded a week of intimate reunion shows in March 1996 in San Luis Obispo, California. Also that March they recorded some new music in the studio. In November of that year, the double CD set Keys to Ascension was released, containing half of a San Luis Obispo show, and the first new material from this version of Yes since 1979, "Be the One" and "That, That Is", running ten minutes and twenty minutes, respectively.
