Jon Anderson Animation

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

Jon Anderson's 1976 solo debut Olias of Sunhillow was a lockdown album decades before those were in vogue.  Recorded in his home's garage with Anderson on every instrument, the singer-songwriter recalled three months of 10-hour days to bring the ambitious sci-fi/fantasy concept album to life.  While its success was modest - it peaked at No. 47 in the U.S. and a stronger No. 8 at home in the U.K. - Olias musically anticipated Anderson's collaborations with Vangelis and is today fondly looked upon
