Olias of Sunhillow by Jon Anderson 03 (Dance of Ranyart)

From Wikipedia:
Olias of Sunhillow is a progressive rock concept album by Jon Anderson, the lead singer of the band Yes. Released in 1976, it was his first solo album and the most successful of Yes' solo efforts, reaching #8 in the UK charts and breaking into the US Top 50.[2]

The album tells the story of an alien race and their journey to a new world (the story printed in the LP jacket calls it "the earth", lowercase 'e') due to catastrophe. Olias, the title character, is the chosen architect of the glider Moorglade, which will be used to fly his people to their new home. Ranyart is the navigator for the glider, and Qoquaq is the leader who unites the four tribes of Sunhillow to partake in the exodus.

"Olias" is an amazing body of work by one of the most prolific musicians/poets in history!!

Some people think that this would have been an even greater album if Jon would have made this with the other guys in YES. Well MAYBE....IF he could've convinced the other Yes members to follow his idea note to note, so to speak. I think Chris (especially),Steve and Alan would have injected a more "Rock" sound to the music. Which, in my opinion, would have taken away from the "organic' feel to the music somewhat. I Love this MASTERPIECE just as it is, however I'd like to hear it remastered!

É incrível o poder da música em tocar e despertas sensações, emoções. Este disco em particular me proporciona algo indescritível que eu posso chamar sem medo, de PURA PAZ e quietude da alma. Jon Anderson é o músico/poeta mais prolífico que esse mundo conhece!!

Listened to this for Jon's birthday the other day. It's all still playing in my head. Beauty is stronger than media noise. :}
