Jon Anderson's solo-debut is an impressive and unique concept-album with a very mystical and otherworldly atmosphere. All the tracks float into each other and make a continuous and very pleasant flow. The music often borders on New Age, but without becoming boring and too sweet. The arrangements consist of lots of overdubbed vocal-harmonies by Anderson (who also plays some harp here), percussion, acoustic guitar and loads of very Vangelis-inspired synth-work from Brian Gaylor. The compositions vary between acoustic and structured songs, more free-floating and almost spacey passages and then to parts with atmospheric themes that build up and are repeated for several minutes to create a very hypnotic effect. Personally I think the sound of the album is so unique that it's hard to compare it with anything. The acoustic passages can of course remind of Yes-songs like the first part of "I've Seen All Good People" and "Wonderous Stories" but the sound as a whole is very original. Some slight eastern-influences can also be heard on some parts. "Olias of Sunhillow" remains Anderson's only really worthwhile solo-album, but it's a little masterpiece in itself and should appeal to everyone who wants a unique piece of atmospheric and beautiful music to drift along to.
