As mentioned the line-up for Yes at the time included members of The Buggles, who were a New Wave band in their own right. They didn't have to rely on another "faux New Wave" band.

Please... no way could Andy even touch Steve Howe....ever, even Sting couldn't touch what Chris Squire did on that album.

OK Alan White was behind the drum kit on that song, so he plays a little bit/a lot of bit like Stewart Copeland, doesn't mean anything. Stew was a great drummer who influenced a lot of other drummers. And besides you have no clue whether Alan White was imitating Stewart Copeland or Alan White was imitating Neil Peart imitating Stewart Copeland.
