About
Tormato is the ninth studio album by English progressive rock band Yes. It was released on 22 September 1978 on Atlantic Records, and is their last album with singer Jon Anderson and keyboardist Rick Wakeman before their departure from the group in 1980 and the last album to feature the lineup of Anderson, Wakeman, Chris Squire, Steve Howe and Alan White until 1996's Keys to Ascension. After touring in support of their previous album, Going for the One (1977), the band entered rehearsals in London to record a follow-up album.

Tormato is the ninth studio album issued as the follow-up to 1977’s acclaimed Going for the One, Tormato received less than charitable reviews upon release and its virtues are still a matter of debate for Yes fans and critics. Many fans and some band members – particularly Rick Wakeman – state that the production was faulty, resulting in compressed and dull sound.
It is the last album featuring singer Jon Anderson and keyboardist Wakeman before the band’s disbanding in 1981. However Anderson returned to Yes when the band reformed in 1983, and Wakeman returned in 1990.
