Jon Anderson – Olias Of Sunhillow

Jon Anderson Embarks on a Cosmic Journey with Olias of Sunhillow: 1976 Concept Album Intrigues with Ambitious Instrumentation, Fantasy Narratives, and Fastidious ProductionStrictly Limited to 2,000 Numbered Copies, Mobile Fidelity's 50th Anniversary Reissue Is the First Audiophile Vinyl Edition of Yes Singer's Solo Debut: Deluxe Packaging Replicates the Original Gatefold Jacket with Inner Hinged Panel and Embossed TexturesJon Anderson nearly drove himself insane making Olias of Sunhillow. That's not a figure of speech. By his own admission, the Yes singer pushed himself to such extreme limits working on his first solo album that he began questioning his creative decisions and state of mind. Yet Anderson's labor of love ultimately resulted in a cosmic set that immediately became a hybrid prog-psychedelic favorite that stands as one of the most revered cult classics in the rock canon. Reissued in celebration of it's 50th anniversary and only the second domestic vinyl version of the record since it's initial 1976 release, Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition 180g LP presents Olias of Sunhillow in audiophile sound for the first time. The complexities of Anderson's extravagant array of ambient landscapes, new-age synthesizers, and signature vocals are resolved and laid out amid black backgrounds that deeply immerse you in the transportative music. The British legend's cornucopia of exotic and familiar instrumentation - he famously played every note on the record - now seems even more impressive and impossible. Grand in scope, symphonic in scale, and epic in execution, Olias of Sunhillow invites listeners to set sail on a wondrous journey.
