INVENTION OF KNOWLEDGE

Truly an epic album. This album reminds you just how essential Jon was to the sound and music of Yes. On "Invention of Knowledge" Jon soars to new heights as one of the great masters of his craft. Lyrically, IoK carries on where Magnification leaves off. Musically, I find more similarities to Relayer. This is classic style Yes music. Truly, Invention of Knowledge sounds more like Yes, than the current Yes line-up does. Anderson/Stolt is the best Yes album in a good many years. And, it is possibly the best solo album of Jon's long and illustrious career outside Yes. From the opening notes of the title track to the final sound of "Know" Anderson/Stolt delivers the goods.
