British prog rock legends Yes released the album "The Ladder" in 1999. These are the first studio recordings of the band, on which Igor Khoroshev played as a full band member. In addition, "The Ladder" has long been the first album which was not produced by the band itself but by producer Bruce Fairbairn (The Scorpions, AC/DC, Bon Jovi) was produced. Especially on the singles "Homeworld (The Ladder)", "Lightning Strikes" and "If Only You Knew" Yes are at their creative peak and skilfully combine Latin elements with world music influences. Sadly, Fairbairn died shortly before the completion of the album, so Yes "The Ladder" was given to the producer Fairbairn.
