OLIAS OF SUNHILLOW

Olias is a true musical adventure that stands as a must for anyone who loves progressive rock music. After all people who love progressive rock do so because the music conjures up an vision and a feeling of embarking on an adventure. Jon accomplishes this very easily. This is an album that must be evaluated as a whole; not just on the basis of certain songs (with the exception of the fourth track Qoquac Ën Transic which you would enjoy standalone). there is no outstanding guitar or drums or key works-- yet this is a brilliant album that gives you a vivid visual about a watery world (almost like Songs of the Distant Earth by Arthur C Clarke). If you are looking for a cool music adventure, this is it- a true five star masterpiece.
