Yes fans...Jon Anderson has a great new album made with Roine Stolt from The Flower Kings
For anyone not familiar with Roine Stolt, he's made a career out of being one of the kingpins of the "Second Wave Of Prog," as a founding member of The Flower Kings and the "supergroup" Transatlantic (Neal Morse from Spock's Beard, Pete Trewevas from Marillion, Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater, and Stolt).
His sound has always drawn heavily from Yes and Genesis, with a bit of King Crimson thrown in for good measure. Transatlantic has recorded "Heart of the Sunrise" and "And You And I," and Anderson joined the band onstage in 2014 to perform many of Yes' greatest hits.

InsideOut label-head Thomas Waber comments: "I have been talking to Jon for ages about making an album of 'Yes music' - as Jon calls it - and Roine seemed like the perfect guy for him to work with. I am really happy that it has finally happened and I am also thrilled with the material they have come up with. I think it will please a lot of fans!"
The idea came to life swiftly off the back of a performance from Roine's band Transatlantic, and Jon Anderson on the Progressive Nation At Sea Cruise in 2014, and was initially instigated by InsideOut Music label boss Thomas Waber. The duo set about crafting new music in the spirit of early epic works such as 'Tales From Topographic Oceans', 'Awaken' & 'Olias Of Sunhillow', but giving it a modern twist.
Written & recorded over the course of 1 and a half years, the tracks have been in a state of constant change as Roine and Jon swapped & refined ideas by sending tracks to each other via the internet. In March 2015, an ensemble was put together by Roine to realise the music live in the studio. Joining him there was Tom Brislin (who played on the Yes Symphonic tour) & Lalle Larsson on keys, Jonas Reingold & Michael Stolt on bass and Felix Lehrmann on drums. The sessions were also bolstered by appearances from Daniel Gildenlöw, Nad Sylvan, Anja Obermayer, Maria Rerych and Kristina Westas who all provided backing vocals.
The full track-listing for the album is as follows:
1. Knowing 17:45
2. Everybody Heals 13:20
3. Invention Of Knowledge 23:10
4. Know 11.20
