Daniel, so pleased you’re checking out this album which is so much a part of my life’s music. I got it for a Christmas present in 1976 by accident as I’d actually asked for a Vangelis album (that’s another story). I fell in love with this music and that got me into Yes and a lot of other Prog Rock at the time although I had been listening to other bands in the genre. This superficially simple tale of a doomed planet electing a champion to take them to a promised land is I believe an allegory for a deeper spiritual journey that Jon Anderson wanted to speak about. I think this is Jon at his best musically and lyrically. I believe that you can still see his interview on BBC’s Old Grey Whistle Test (on YT) where he talks about the album and it’s concept. His Lancashire accent still ringing out through the interview (Stan Laurel would’ve been proud) lol. I’ve always placed this very high on my best loved albums and I look forward to you reviewing the second side. Thank you.
This was uploaded the day after my dear daddy left this earth, and I hope it means he has found a more wondrous world, like Sunhillow, for he was the gentlest and kindest of all I had ever known. I'm sure of it. I bought this first day it came out, knowing it had to be sweetness and light, and the world never has enough of either. My favorite is the final song, but it is all quite preternatural and wondrous, as is everything Jon touches. Hey...we shook hands!
At this time Jon was into Zen Buddhism and I think this album gave him the opportunity to explore the idea of a 'soul journey', which is at the heart of Buddhist philosophy. This journey is often expressed in allegory as a ship that is being steered and guided by the seeker as its captain, who is traveling and exploring as much of the expansive universe as possible. After many reincarnations and having lived many different lives, There is a sense of some final destination that awaits and gives meaning to each of our travelogues and stories. In an attempt to answer your other questiom, I am pretty sure that there are a few Sanskrit words and names throughout the album. There is an awesome passage near the end that is an important key to the spiritual analogy of a travellor sailing through the cosmos ; "(The ship) ascend to the stars...OR to enter your heart.to your love to your love... to your love.. and peace will reign o'er all our days.. See your Love.. see your love.. see your love..." So the ship's final destination is to enter one's OWN HEART, and to there behold LOVE. After that passage there is a beautiful soundscape with ocean breezes and waves, but with the sound of a subtle heartbeat pulsing gently...
Doing one side at a time is the best way to review the album. Bravo for taking the risk, Daniel. I bought this album when it came out and have played it a thousand times. One of my all time favorites. Great way to end the weekend. Cheers.
This album is one of those rare releases that has actually earned the term 'beautiful' in the absolute sense. This music has healed me and helped me through sone difficult times.
How are you finding the Record Store Day reissue? I have heard when listened to side by side the reissue's sound seems compressed. I have heard good things about the 5.1 DVD released last year, though. I initially resisted buying it, as I felt artwork on a DVD case could not live up to the album artwork. But then I realized... It's a DVD. If any format gave Anderson the opportunity to enhance the multimedia experience he was going for with the album artwork, it would be a DVD. I don't own a copy, so I don't know if the DVD issue does expand on that, but I do hope to check it out one day.
Those lyrics were delightful. This flowed so well and took me away. Jon played everything too. Wow. I haven’t heard this before either and really enjoyed it. Great reaction.
Had seen YES a few times in mid-seventies... But when heard "Olias", that changed everything. Just so ethereal and other worldly. Takes me to a happy place. ;-)
Its a concept album, inspired by Roger Dean's artwork cover to "Fragile". Planet about to be destroyed by volcano. Wizard Olias builds space glider ark (the "Moorglade") and, helped by two more wizards Ranyart and Qoquaq, guides parts of the planet to seed a new world. Sort of! With a load of Jon's spiritual thought throughout. The final track on side 1 is when the Moorglade takes flight. Side two is in some ways similar, with big tension building under the malign influence of Moon Ra, concluding with the very Indian-sounding "To The Runner" (which I love), as the magicians ascend to sleep. The album blew me away when I first heard it, on the day of release. Qoquaq is pronounced "koKWAKE"
Such a sheer delight for the mind and senses. It locks all else out and you're absorbed by absolute music genius. What a talented individual. Wait until side 2!
The best of the Yes members solo albums - with Chris Squire's Fish Out of Water just behind, along with Patrick Moraz's Story of I (antoher sci-fi fantasy, by way of...Brazil!). Olias really showed what was Anderson's contribution to Yes, strong echoes of Topographic Oceans and Relayer, even Fragile's We Have Heaven.
I'm going to have to save this one till later when I can really enjoy it My Vikings are playing at the 1:00 game today... I'll have my LP in my lap ready to go on the journey with you.
This is a great work...... and a vastly underappreciated sleeper of an album when it first came out! But a few of us knew how good it was when we heard it!
As an aside, for some years after this great album was released , it was common in the music press to see Jon referred to as "Olias of Accrington" - Accrington being the Lancashire town (only a few miles from where I live) where he comes from - such was the impact of the album. I love his solo album "Song of Seven" too, especially the title song which brings back many happy memories for me.
Jon is a good lad tha’knows. I think you can still see his OGWT interview on this album on YT. I can’t listen to Song of Seven these days without tearing up, it was an important album to me when it came out and I was lucky enough to see Jon perform it live at the Odeon in Birminham
Jon cleverly adds precise wide ranging percussion to his 'limited' musicianship to help tell his story. It is perfect for this album. Love his harp playing too.
Great record. Jon Anderson has an amazingly incredible and diverse "solo" career. Plus his collaborations with artists such as Vangelis . Kitaro , Tangerine Dream , and Jonathan Elias are ALL worth checking out.
Ohhh... I'm so glad you broke out the sweat shirt. 💖 I suspect you got the gist of Anderson's attempt at a multimedia experience once you read the story, so I'll wait for the side 2 upload before commenting further regarding that. I'm so glad you seem to be enjoying it!
Love Olias of Sunhillow.... The Mooglade Mover ship on the cover l believe is the same vessel that graces the cover of Fragile by YES but with it's sails down....
:nod: Yep. Anderson was inspired to create the story of Olias from Roger Dean's artwork for Fragile. He really wanted Dean for the artwork for Olias, but supposedly Dean was over committed. I think the artist, David Fairbrother-Roe, expanded on Dean's concept beautifully. But, I wouldn't expect anything less of an artist chosen to adorn the covers of the UK versions of Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern series.
Bringing this out from a reply to a comment pointing out the inspiration for the story of Olias. Daniel may have realized this after his research when he finished side 2, but in case there are others wondering Anderson was inspired to create the story of Olias from Roger Dean's artwork for Fragile. He really wanted Dean for the artwork for Olias, but supposedly Dean was over committed. I think the artist, David Fairbrother-Roe, expanded on Dean's concept beautifully. But, I wouldn't expect anything less of an artist chosen to adorn the covers of the UK versions of Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern series.
@@jeffschielka7845 What's interesting was something I saw recently in a 2016 documentary about concept albums hosted by Rick Wakeman. Roger Dean explains his own story in his head for the album covers he created for Yes. The story does not align with Anderson's story for Olias, and I now wonder if Dean being "too overcommitted" was a means of not working on a project which directly conflicted with his own internal vision. He found time to do Howe's Beginnings in that time period. I'm sure Anderson would have waited for him if Dean had given him a date to work on it. Could internal story conflict be another possible reason Dean didn't do the artwork for Olias?
@@IllumeEltanin I have several of Roger's books. Don't remember reading anything about Jon's cover. Dean was doing covers for many different bands in that time period including Uriah Heep. I would have to research it more. Check my comment back on Nathan's.
I picked this album up for $1 at GoodWill. It is at least VG+ in condition. It is my new favorite album. It is a revelation. I can't believe I missed this in the 70's. I"m glad you like it. I find it completely calming and hypnotic. When I'm stressed I can listen to this, lose myself, and come out positive on the other side. It is unique.
This album changed my life musically This album is an extention of YES We Have Heaven The song Naon before the last song is one of the most beautiful songs I ever heard The arrangement with all the percussion and Jons vocals multi tracked is blissful
First, it is absolutely wonderful to start one's day with a Daniel reaction video. Second, I had never heard all of this. It is beautiful, surreal, and boldly creative. Excellent analysis by Our Host. The C.S. Lewis sci-fi trilogy is "Out of the Silent Planet", "Perelandra", and "That Hideous Strength".
After you finish watching Daniel's reaction, once side 2 is uploaded, seek out the reactions to the same album by JustJP and Jim Newstead. I am loving how this album affects all I've seen react to it. ...now to work on Dr. Doug to also consider reacting to it. That may be a bit more difficult, as he tends to do full albums solely based on polls on his Patreon.
Love this album. The story, the music, Jon's vocals. The fact that he took the time to teach himself to play all the instruments is really impressive and just shows what one can do when they have a vision and put their mind, heart and soul into making it happen.
You need to listen to the Jon Anderson & Vangelis song “The Friends Of Mr. Cairo”. It was a big song in 1981 and is about Jim’s love of movies when he was a kid. The song has audio clips of old Hollywood gangster movies, especially “The Maltese Falcon” starring Humphrey Bogart, one of the greatest films ever made.
I grew up in the late 50's and early 60's. I have always leaned to being a right brained individual and I have a degree in fine art. I love music that has been labeled "progressive rock". However I do not like labels, or boxes. Many have the opinion this music is better to listen to when stoned. This kind of opinion is closed minded to me. Like all art, no matter the media, the artist is trying to express something, but the greatest part of this music is it leaves interpretation for the individual experiencing the art. I have lived a long life without drugs. The mind is a very powerful thing and can create beauty & imagination. I have always believed if you love all art, music and experience life with your eyes open, this music will take you anywhere you want to go. Peace ✌.
Yes I agree with what you say, Drugs would give a different view than if you are not under the influence. We come at things from our life experiences and get different things from music such as this. I've never dabbled in drugs so don't understand people who advocate them when listening to music.

I bought this when it just came out .I love it! I stared at the art work for hours. The music is beautiful. Funny that a made up story and language are probably the most straightforward Jon's lyrics were in awhile at the time. I recently bought the remastered cd with the artwork included. This one will always be close to my heart. Enjoy!
Noticed that you tried Alice Cooper - Welcome To my Nightmare song.......but I really think that you would love the whole album. It is right up your alley
Can you do some reactions to some of Iron Maiden's songs from their latest album Senjutsu. I highly recommend either Lost In A Lost World or Death of The Celts, they are both fantastic songs with great messages. This entire album is amazing and has made mine and my dad's top 5 best maiden albums.
The album is technically fiction as you pointed out Daniel, another race's planet is ending, think roger deans "fragile" album series. THE "OLIAS" story represents the planets inhabitants have to work together to build the moorglade ship "cover" that transports them to another world?
Andersons mythical saga. It's own language, rather like Elvish. Sonic layers evocative sound scapes. Science Fiction mixed with myth. Rather like Disney's Treasure Planet. Uplifting splendor.

No one has a voice quite like his. I don't think the music of Yes would have worked with anyone else.
