IN THE CITY OF ANGELS

While I really love the "traditional" progrock (Pink Floyd, TD, Alan Parsons) I find this album by Anderson incredibly good. Songs are perfect, and I love his affirmation of life and love! His lyrics are quite lofty, but not empty, and his voice has the power to move my soul. Jon Anderson is among my favourite male vocalistys, and, knowing him from his collaborations with Vangelis, Oldfield and Kitaro, I enjoy this album very much. Songs like Betcha, Top of the World or Hold on to Love are simply superb, and they move you, you cannot stand aloof! And If it Wasn't for Love, or It's on Fire is simply Anderson all over - the voice, the melody, the ambience. Try this, if you're not conservative progrock-lover you'll enjoy this. There's so much more to music (and Jon Anderson) than meets the eye.
