When the Sun Breaks Down on the Moon is the fourth solo studio album by Austin, Texas, singer-songwriter Bob Schneider, released in a limited edition in winter 2007. [1]

While Schneider was on the road on his fall/winter US tour, he looked through all the latest demos that he had been working on, becoming more and more excited about this collection of songs which became When the Sun Breaks Down on the Moon.

"...most of these songs are pretty new. Recorded in the last couple of months and there is a cohesiveness to it that I really like and also, a fragility that usually doesn't end up on the more polished CD's that I've put out in the past." – Bob Schneider

<i>Open Your Eyes</i> (Yes album) 1997 studio album by Yes

Open Your Eyes is the seventeenth studio album by the English rock band Yes, released in November 1997 by Eagle Records in the UK and by Beyond Music in the US. Following the 1996 revival of the 1970s "classic" line-up of Yes, the band's relationship with management had broken down and keyboardist Rick Wakeman had once again left the band. While various other members dispersed, guitarist, keyboardist, and producer Billy Sherwood began developing new songs with band bassist and de facto leader Chris Squire to prevent the band from losing momentum and fully splitting. Yes' new management company suggested adding a couple of songs originally written for Squire and Sherwood's other band Conspiracy to help build up material for a new Yes studio album. With the writing and production sessions dominated by Squire and Sherwood, and with singer Jon Anderson, guitarist Steve Howe and drummer Alan White only involved later in the process, the writing and creative input of the latter three members was limited.
