A huge THANK YOU ALL to my subscribers for continuing to come view my videos! My promise to you is that I will post more and more full albums that are meaningful to me and hopefully to you. Watch for an upcoming series of obscure prog albums I have found online.
Believe it or not, this is one of the Absolute Gems which passed under my radar, although I was a great Yes fan. I discovered it this afternoon and have been listening to it over and over again since. I'm absolutely amazed by his ability as a musician, composer and synth programmer. Thanks for the uninterrupted version.
👿🔱😈... it's a evil version of the fragil Yes album cover that's awesome 🤘.. Does it have cover of roundabout on it ?... because that would be very dope...just looked this album up since I've never heard of it before and boom... no wonder it was reminding me of yes 😂
Ich liebe diese Musik, sie hat eine andere Ebene, mit 18 Jahren hat sie mir durch tiefste Tiefen geholfen, heute entdecke ich sie wieder, zauberhaft, universale Musik, bringt mich zu der Frage: worum geht es wirklich in dieser Welt? Um den Zauber wieder zu entdecken? und sich wieder auf das Wesentliche im Leben zu besinnen? Ich glaube ja....danke für die Ermutigung.....

Many many years ago went on a outward bound course in shropshire having heard Hergest Ridge years before and they just seemed so suited to each other, quite an eerie feeling as you stare out over the mountains.
My early 20s were steeped in this green tincture of ancient, rolling emerald hills. Now, a senior, realizing the vitality, still here, in this recording, Thanks!
I got this LP when it came out as I have always loved YES. My baby boy, JJ, was only 1 and 1/2 years old. He absolutely LOVED this. At that age, little ones will grab onto something, and every single day, they have to have it. So, my precious baby boy and I would go on the "Mow-gade Mommy!" and we would turn my coffee table into the ship. We would make newspaper tricorn hats, He was the captain "O-yies" and we would fly off to distant worlds while he danced while standing on the table and swaying back and forth in his little diaper waddle. He was so precious! Big dark brown eyes of wonder and dark brown curls framed his little chubby cheeks. I was just 16 myself, so we played as children do...then he would fall fast asleep on my lap dreaming of his little toddler expeditions and I stroked his little curls off his face. He is now grown, almost 50 years old, and a grandfather himself. But tonight, while I listen to "our" adventure music at 1:30 am and cry for my baby to be in my arms again. The ravages of time has taken its toll on me, but these special memories will never fade. Thank you so much Mr. Anderson for sharing this wonderful gift of time.
I used to see the album displayed in a local store for a long time back when it first came out. I had no money at the time, so I would just look at the artwork and wondered how it sounded.
Mike Oldfield is the memory of a society deep in harmony with nature and its struggle to survive in a surrounding of deep disrespect towards it, that's at least I see it; enjoy the memory of better times, enjoy - Oldfield -🙂🙂😉❤ !!!
Yeah. Sadder still, that even if the music were heard, can they slow down long enough to engage with the majik? This is so precious and transportive. We can only continue to be the ones who appreciate and regard.
I remember this and I had the LP back in the day. With people today and their tiny attention span after scrolling 20-second trifles on TikTok for hours, I think this kind of music is doomed, unfortunately. Who has the time to sit down and enjoy Hergest Ridge for 40 minutes? (I had Ommadawn and Tubular Bells on LP as well.)

Bo Hansson made an instrumental album "Lord Of The Rings", in the 1970's IIRC. I still have my vinyl copy (somewhere). As one could guess, it goes perfectly with reading the book.
A cette époque Anderson était super pote avec Vangelis et l'influence s''entend enormément Cela reste un très bon album le meilleur D'Anderson solo / At that time Anderson was great friends with Vangelis and the influence can be heard a lot. It remains a very good album, the best of Anderson solo
These guys may be one of the only prog bands that have still strived to put out epic and incredible work long after the era had concluded. Cool album and thanks for posting.
I could have sworn I already told you where to find me, but you're here now and that's all that counts. Welcome, my friend, to the show that never ends (as it were)
¡Excelente banda!! Por momentos me recuerda a UK, algo de Gentle Giant...había escuchado su primer álbum, en el primero se notan más las influencias de Yes y Genesis este es el segundo según tengo entendido, y lo encuentro más original, hasta hay música del Oeste americano.... Rastreé a la banda hasta 2006, 2008...pero encuentro sólo información dispersa sobre sus principales músicos hasta este 2023. Siguen tocando juntos? Saludos desde Mar del Plata, Argentina!
Sanctuary is not bad, in fact it is quite pleasant to listen to. If we had never heard the music of a genius named Mike Oldfield, while carrying a higher degree of emotion, it could qualify as a great composition.
It's very pleasant. I've been trekking Bandcamp and suchlike looking for more. I like the fact that Robert Reed is carrying the torch for Mike Oldfield and continuing the genre. I wish I had discovered this when Robert first released it.
