Jon Anderson's conceptual epic, Olias of Sunhillow, is under the microscope this week.
Does this album live up to its amazing reputation?
How does Jon Anderson get on playing all the instruments?
Does Olias feel like a complete work or a bit bolted together?

Facebook has just changed how pages work which means that I’ve had to establish a new place for us to post and discuss Yes-related happenings. It’s a new group entitled, rather creatively, YMP Discussion Group. For the moment it’s open to anyone to join but I’ll be adding rules and joining requirements when I have time. One of the advantages of the new format is that all members of the group have the same ability to post content, so it’s a bit more egalitarian, or somesuch. Please do search for the group and join in.

If you haven’t already done so, please sign up at tormatobook.com to the email newsletter. PRESALE IS UNDERWAY! If you sign up now, for free, you can have access to the newsletters you’ve missed. It really helps to know people are looking forward to reading the culmination of my decades of Tormato obsession.

Theme music
The music I use is the last movement of Stravinsky's Firebird Suite. This has been used as introduction music at many Yes concerts. My theme music is not take from a live concert - I put it together from: archive.org
