From Wikipedia: With Jon Anderson's decision to use a live orchestra on most of the album's songs (as Anderson reported in the YesYears video), Peter Banks was very much at odds with the decision. Tensions within the band increased, and just after the album's recording was completed in early 1970, Banks was asked to leave. Steve Howe would join the line-up that March, replacing Banks. The album includes two songs Jon Anderson wrote with David Foster, a former band mate in The Warriors. Time and a Word's use of a studio orchestra seemed intrusive to some critics, and the album was received in a lukewarm fashion (UK #45, Yes' first chart entry at home). The opening track contains an orchestral intro to Richie Havens' song “No Opportunity Needed, No Experience Necessary“, featuring a main theme from the 1958 film The Big Country by Jerome Moross. Also, the track “The Prophet“ borrows from Gustav Holst's “Jupiter“ from the Planets Suite. L
