JON ANDERSON & THE BAND GEEKS: TRUE

Jon Anderson has finally released an album that is perhaps the closest to the musical world of Yes, anything he has released as a soloist or in collaboration with others, with the exception of the Invention of Knowledge album with Roine Stolt and Olias of Sunhillow, of course The best compositions on the album: the opener True Messenger, which, despite being only under six minutes, is quite complex. Shine On is a typical Rabin-era piece, but that doesn't detract from its value. Counties and Countries, on the other hand, is a Yes composition reminiscent of classic times with modern instrumentation. The central piece of the disc is the almost 17-minute epic, somewhere halfway between Endless Dream (Talk) and Awaken, seasoned with a majestic church organ. The other compositions contain less musical excitement, but it can still be said that Jon Anderson's collaboration with Band Geeks is a pleasant surprise.
