Jon Anderson
Survival and Other Stories
Review by Gary Hill
This album, featuring collaborations Jon Anderson made with various independent musicians, was originally released last year, in a very limited release. Anderson has made some changes to the music in terms mixing and other tweaks, and now it’s seeing widespread release. It’s very much in keeping with Anderson’s musical visions presented in his earlier solo releases, but also crosses into some new territory. Different songs seem to reflect echoes of different periods of Anderson’s career, while creating an updated vision. It’s a very strong release of beautiful and uplifting music. It’s highly recommended to all fans of Anderson’s solo work.
