The name Jon ANDERSON is inextricably linked to that of YES, one of the most defining and influential bands in Progressive Rock history. Legend has it that ANDERSON (born John Roy ANDERSON, Oct. 25, 1944, England) worked on a farm and drove a taxi before creating his first band, The WARRIORS, with his brother Tony in 1964. From then on, the road ahead was paved for the next 30 years... and counting.

Although YES occupied the major part of his time, ANDERSON has contributed extensively to various artists’ albums and projects over the years, lending his vocal talents to the likes of VANGELIS, KITARO, Mike OLDFIELD, John-Paul Jones, TANGERINE DREAM, TOTO, 4HIM, Jonathan Elias and BЙLA FLECK & THE FLECKTONES as well as to fellow YES member Steve HOWE on one of his solo albums. At time of printing, he was working with Igor Khoroshev (YES’ new keyboard player) on Khoroshev’s album entitled “True You True Me”.

Despite his numerous engagements with YES and other artists, ANDERSON found the time to release 13 solo albums, quite wide ranging in style - from the fantasy land of “Olias of Sunhillow” (1976) to the contemporary pop/worldbeat of “The More You Know” (1998). Of particular interest to progsters is his debut solo album and masterpiece, “Olias of Sunhillow”: an incredibly gorgeous work of epic adventures in mythical times and places. Laced with heavenly vocal harmonies and loaded with strings and keyboards (VANGELIS style), it features ANDERSON playing all the instruments himself. In the 'mildly interesting' category are: “Song of Seven” (1980) which is something of a compromise, considering that half of it is progressive and the other half made up of simple, radio-friendly tunes; “Animation” (1983) for its variety of musical roots and tempos; and “Toltec” (1996) with its distinctive Mexican/Native American flair - a concept album based on the work of author Carlos Castenada.

With the exception of “Olias of Sunhillow” however, readers shouldn’t expect anything remotely similar to YES from these albums. Often featuring spiritually tinged lyrics (ANDERSON has always been a “spiritual seeker”), most are not terribly 'progressive', rather befitting the New Age or World Music categories.

Recommended for those interested in exploring exotic (Latin, Celtic, World) musical ties.

Thanks to ProgLucky for the addition and to

За данным диском голнялся несколько лет.
ИМХО, самый классный диск из сольников Андерсона.
Когда то участвовал даже в аукционе за японский диск.
Дошёл до 75 долларов и бросил.
В итоге диск ушёл за 350 долларов.
В то время диск был выпущен только на Японии.
Здесь, к раздаче представлено переиздание 22nd Anniversary Edition 2007 года
