*I have no idea whether the Buggles were asked to reunite for this project, but it would have been fitting. Interestingly enough, a Buggles reunion isn't out of the question. Geoff Downes (who went on to play in Asia & Yes) was asked about the possibility of a reunion during a fan Q & A last year and he said this about ex-bandmate Trevor Horn:
"Well you never know! Trevor’s a really busy guy most of the time with his wide variety of projects and productions, but I don’t think we’d ever discount the possibility. It’s always a challenge working on new stuff, and I’d love to collaborate with Trevor again. As you know, I’m pretty busy myself right now working on new material with both Yes and Asia, as well as several other projects. So yeah, it’s not impossibility, just a matter of making the planets align so that one day we can hopefully make it happen."
