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.
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.
Lyrics:
Worlds that lie between
are simply seconds of words we do not mean.
Cast a pastel sky
or simply wonder until the day you die.
Eyes have never seen
so pass your future caressing all you've been.
all you say
all you dreamed
all memory awaken

This album and génre also meant so much to me as a teenager... back in 1976/77 this music was so inspirational to me. Thanks for putting it all online.
Saw Jon and Rick a year or two back - before Jons illness - superb musicians the both of them.
