  Producer Trevor Horn (pictured in 1984) helmed the early tracking sessions, though creative gridlock eventually led to his departure.

• 

  Recording sessions for Big Generator originally commenced at Lark Studios, located inside the 14th-century Carimate Castle in Italy.

• 

  Guitarist Trevor Rabin criticised the addition of a horn section on "Almost Like Love", comparing the style unfavorably to the 1980s pop-soul output of Phil Collins.

• 

  "Love Will Find a Way" was originally developed by Trevor Rabin as a collaborative track intended for Stevie Nicks.

• 

  Lead vocalist Jon Anderson (pictured live in 1984) grew alienated by the band's commercial 1980s musical direction, prompting his departure following the 1988 tour dates.
