About "Fortune Hunter", Squire explained, "One of the tracks ended up being called "Fortune Hunter" that was a riff that Jimmy brought into the mix anyway. Instrumental: part of the other instrumental was used as the intro to The Firm's "Fortune Hunter".Instrumental: part of one instrumental was reworked and became part of "Mind Drive" on the 1997 Yes album Keys to Ascension 2 (credited as a band composition).Demoed material Ī four-song demo tape of XYZ consisting of two instrumentals and two songs, "Can You See" and "Telephone Secrets" (featuring vocals from Squire), exists and can be found on ROIO trading sites. Squire supported the idea, but said Page hadn't discussed the matter with him. Page has not dismissed the possibility of releasing the XYZ material. In 1984, Jimmy Page joined Yes, including Squire and White, on stage, playing " I'm Down" during a concert in their 9012Live tour at Westfalenhalle in Dortmund, Germany.
It is unclear what of the XYZ material made it to 90125, but White said in a 2008 interview that "those were the beginning of some songs that ended up on the next Yes album anyway." White also confirmed the XYZ material was used on 90125 album in a 2012 interview. Cinema went on to become a reformation of Yes with the addition of singer Jon Anderson, and the recording of the album 90125 in 1983.
Rabin initially attempted to rework the XYZ material along with his solo songs for the new group. With XYZ's future in limbo, Squire and White recorded a Christmas single called "Run with the Fox", in October 1981 at Squire's house, New Pipers, before forming Cinema, with guitarist Trevor Rabin and keyboardist Tony Kaye. Without a firm commitment from Plant and contractual issues on who should manage the group ( Peter Grant or Brian Lane), the project was shelved shortly thereafter. Plant did attend one XYZ rehearsal on 28 February 1981, but decided not to join the group citing his dislike for the complexity of the music, and because he was still deeply hurt by the recent death of his long-time friend Led Zeppelin's drummer, John Bonham. Page believed the band needed a strong vocalist and sought out former Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant. Squire was the main writer for the group. The group also featured former Greenslade keyboard player and vocalist Dave Lawson. The band came together after Squire met Page by chance at a party shortly before Christmas 1980.
