By now our epic needed a climax which the song didn’t have written in it, we needed to put something together. I saw Grace on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson promoting some movie she was in and thought, Why not use the opening line from his show? Hence, "Here’s Grace!" Grace loved the idea and did it in one take. Chromium – Star to Star (1979) (Horn: producer and songwriter, Geoff Downes: keyboards and songwriter, Hans Zimmer: electronics)

Tina Turner – Wildest Dreams ("Whatever You Want", "Missing You", "On Silent Wings", "Thief of Hearts", "In Your Wildest Dreams", "All Kinds of People", "Dancing in My Dreams") (1996) Bryan Adams and Hans Zimmer – Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, (co-writer, "Sound the Bugle") (2002) In the autumn of 2009 the band went into the studio again to record another album.

Jim asked us what we were working on. I told him and he came into our control room, where we played him two versions.

The big budgets, the bad behaviour (Horn has to be physically restrained from punching Yes’ Chris Squire in the face at one point), the jet-setting (Concorde is mentioned more than once) and the enormous amounts of time spend in lavish studios, are now largely a product of a bygone age, so the ‘modern’ in the title is something of a misnomer, or perhaps said with a tongue firmly in cheek. However the music endures and these accounts of the sessions that created that music –Trevor blowing his own horn –are both as entertaining and as enlightening as you would hope for. Highly recommended.Horn's awards include Brit Awards for Best British Producer in 1983, 1985, and 1992, a 1995 Grammy Award for Seal's song " Kiss from a Rose", and a 2010 Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Contribution to British Music.

One night, I was out at Giles Fish & Chip Shop when I happened to look across the room and saw the actor Ian McShane. He had been a Yes fan, and in return I loved his work, so I went straight over and said, "What are you doing? Do you want to come down to the studio?" He remembers is slightly differently, saying that I opened proceedings by saying, "Ian, Orson Welles is dead, so only you will do," but either way, he came down and he did it in one take, all of it, "Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Grace Jones, Slave to the Rhythm," and off he went again. I told him, "I’ll send you a crate of champagne," but I never did although I think he’d stopped drinking by then anyway. Webb, Rob. "From The Basement On A Television: DiS talks to Nigel Godrich".
