Reviews
Something Else Reviews
"A conceptually epic piece, filled with wonderment, musical twists and a theme as broad as it is hopeful...Quite frankly, this is what Jon Anderson does. And it’s terrifically engaging, after too long spent fitting his muse into the ever-dilating strictures of Yes’ modern-day prog-pop, to hear Anderson doing it again." [2]
