I think the pairing of Jon and Vangelis brought out the worst in both - their albums are full of Jon's pretentiously twee side and Vangelis sickeningly sweet melodic side.  As a fan of both early Yes and the proggier end of Aphrodite's Child, I've picked up several J&A albums over the years hoping to be floored, instead I was left wading thru dreck just to hear a verse or passage or two of brilliance.
I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

I gather you're not a fan of J & V then. Tongue
