This 1995 release is an unusual one in Jon Anderson's solo catalog. Then again, he has never been one to shy away from stretching beyond expectations. I'd say that this qualifies as "new age" music, assuming that's a thing. It's a largely instrumental release with only a handful of the music having vocals. All the instrumention is mellow and keyboard oriented. It's quite a satisfying release, though. I'm not sure I'd include it under progressive rock if it were from another artist, but given the strength of Anderson's contributions to progressive rock, everything he does fits there for me. This album includes guest vocals by both of his daughters (Deborah on the title track and Jade on "Prayersong."). All in all, this might be unusual, but it's well worth having.
