Jon has a magical ear and an angelic voice. But his brain doesn't work right sometimes...

Even some of Jon Anderson's YES bandmates have been known to say he's away with the fairies on occasion, but in a nice way. Tongue

We can thank mushrooms for that. ;p

And YES misses Jon's composer skills.

I believe I adore the Big Generator album more than anyone on Progarchives.  I've poured it's molten gold into my ears more than a hundred times.

4 stars 1994: Jon Anderson - Change We Must - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwE2By4pX3kVfqEc_quBRPbKMl-LYlnH0

It's all-change for Jon Anderson's seventh solo album when he goes fully symphonic with an album full of lush orchestral music.

 3 stars 1995: Jon Anderson - Angels Embrace - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLujSdGxqdZ6X1Bi5VYt3TplU6nHS_sHTQ

Angels Embrace is the eighth studio album by storyteller Jon "Christian" Anderson. Love is in the air and Jon is in romantic mood for this calming New Age album, having just met his future wife Jane Luttenberger. The album even comes with a commemorative photo of the happy couple before their nuptials and this album is a real family affair too with Jon's two daughters Deborah and Jade providing additional vocals on two tracks. Jon Anderson is truly away with the angels on this heavenly album, but you'll have to wait until Jon's 1997 album "The Promise Ring" before he's away with the fairies too - although some of Jon's YES bandmates have said he's been away with the fairies for a long long time. Tongue

3 stars 1996: Jon Anderson - Toltec - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXK9m2PbaCQ

Big chief Jon Anderson's heap big ninth album is dedicated to "Red Indians" everywhere, and more specifically,  the Toltec culture of Mesoamericans in pre-Colombian Mexico. How!

Really effective orchestral arrangements. Some songs sound even better than the original versions.
