British progressive rock band YES released their eighteenth studio album 'The Ladder' in 1999. 'The Ladder' featured an eleven-song track list (including the three singles 'Homeworld (The Ladder)', 'Lightning Strikes' and 'If Only You Knew') and saw YES incorporating Latin music elements and world music influences into their progressive rock sound.

It 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. Sadly, Fairbairn passed away shortly before the album's completion, so Mike Plotnikoff finished his work together with the band. '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.' On October 11th, 2024, 'The Ladder' will become available as CD jewel case edition, allowing fans to take another step into the diverse soundscapes of YES.
