Actually, at least three, which I have.

Now here's something I've never had a satisfactory answer to:

Yes was famous for its volume-control lead guitar sound.  Steve Howe did it
in Yes, and Peter Banks did it in Flash, but Banks didn't really do it on
his albums with Yes.

SO, was Howe imitating Banks, or was Banks imitating Howe?

Haven't heard anything after "Two Sides," tho I know of at least one from
the 90s.

I liked Patrick Moraz' solo stuff, especially "i", which was lambasted by
critics at the time for being over-produced.  Me, I've always said that you
can NEVER have too much percussion.  Anyway, he was also in the short-lived
band Refugee, with the bassist and drummer from the Nice.  (And he played
dazzingly better than Keith Emerson!)  I dunno if he's still with the
Moodies, or even if they still play.
