we've been chatting about this on and off over at the tfk thread. the artwork looks incredible! can't wait to hear this. it will definitely sound like Anderson fronting Flower Kings..or maybe Agents of Mercy, given the band.

Long may he live!
Let's just hope he doesn't dilute his creativity with so many projects at the same time. Through the 80's and 90's and he had been having trouble getting good songs for just a Yes album every few years (and in 00's not even that).

I probably shouldn't have high hopes for this, but I do. This collaboration, with the stated goals of making progressive music in the spirit of long-form Yes compositions, is at least aiming toward the goals I would like to hear.
Pairing the two of them might just refocus each musician away from the wrong turns they have taken in recent years. Jon Anderson's lyrics became less poetic and more preachy and pop-oriented since the 80's. Roine Stolt in his work with both Agents of Mercy and the Flower Kings has become more negative and gloomy, moods which do not make the best use of his talent, however serious the sentiments might be.
Here's hoping that we get an album which is spiritual, positive, and most of all, filled with music to delight the ear and mind!

Such a perfect pairing these two, I bet Stolt was rapt at getting to collaborate with one of his idols.
I have a question though - Do anyone know if Roine be singing on it at all, or will he just be providing a lot of the instrumentation and letting Jon take the vocals?
