Geoff Downes (Yes/Asia/The Buggles)
from Sending Signals · host Matt Royal
Geoff Downes has quite the musical CV. Shooting to fame with The Buggles, then joining Yes alongside Trevor Horn for their 1980 “Drama” album, he then had massive success alongside Yes member Steve Howe with the supergroup Asia. He rejoined Yes in 2011 where he remains to this day. Geoff joined me from his home in Wales for a career-spanning conversation discussing songs by The Buggles, Asia, and the epic Countermovement from the new Yes album “Aurora”. Please forgive the sound quality on this interview. It’s perfectly listenable but not optimal. Find me on Instagram @sendingsignalspodcast
