5 stars In 1976 YES lead singer Jon ANDERSON took us on an incredible journey into the fantasy land of "Olias Of Sunhillow". In my humble opinion, this is one of the best solo projects from the members of YES and is an absolute fine piece of work. Surrounding this whole album is a great concept story line which ANDERSON fills in with some amazing and memorable songs which are performed as you would expect with great care, feeling and precision. "Olias Of Sunhillow" explores many different moods and atmospheres which helps make this a real treasure. ANDERSON's vocals are angelic throughout and contain some amazing harmonies and choir passages. "Olias..." is a very delicate album actually and is a perfect Sunday morning plug-in. Like a great artist ANDERSON paints his musical magic through your speakers and will take you into another world for 45 minutes. Highly recommended and although is overused is a masterpiece in my humble opinion.
