The Spell: Jon Anderson's "Animation" Returns from Cherry Red, Esoteric
The early 1980s marked a time of constant change for Jon Anderson. He departed the band he co-founded in March after sessions with Roy Thomas Baker (Queen, Dusty Springfield) failed to click and tensions rose with his bandmates Chris Squire, Steve Howe, and Alan White. (Rick Wakeman left Yes at the same time.) He was finding more creative freedom when he joined the electronic music pioneer Vangelis as "Jon and Vangelis." Their debut Short Stories, released in January 1980, was a top five

So you put the three of us together in front of an audience willing to dig it limitlessly, we could have gone on forever...And we did...just going for the moon every time we played."
