Notes
Jon Anderson's first solo album, a progressive rock concept album released in 1976, reaching #8 in the UK charts and breaking into the US Top 50. The album sleeve features artwork by the artist David Roe.
The album tells the story of an alien race and their journey to a new world due to catastrophe. Olias, the title character, is the chosen architect of the glider Moorglade, which will be used to fly his people to their new home. Ranyart is the navigator for the glider, and Qoquaq is the leader who unites the four tribes of Sunhillow to partake in the exodus.

A beautifully packaged and presented album of eastern influenced musical passages and interludes. It works on many levels, and fails on others (one being accessibility). Experimental only in the sense of whatever Jon was smoking at the time, but an example of what music could, and should have been. And an example of everything Simon Cowell and his ilk have destroyed. Great going Simon, ya muppet.- Terrible presentation in terms of visuals, but it pains me to say this sounds much better than the bells and whistles Esoteric remaster which is as murky as hell audio-wise.
- Edited 10 months agoSounds like the collector below had a defective copy or one that needed a wood glue peel. This is a Monarch 1st pressing of a record that was very well recorded and engineered, and my copy sounds fantastic. It's a great listen, a must have for fans of 70s Yes, and very reasonably priced. I paid $15 for NM.

La musica mas Bella del Mundo contiene este maravilloso disco, incluida la portada..!! Una maravilla!!referencing Olias Of Sunhillow (LP, Album, Gatefold) K50261
Yes, a great album! Yes extended and exaggerated. I smoked something in 1976 and heard hypnotizing music. In 2022 I'm still hypnotized by these melodies, harmonies, sounds, angelic voices.... and take a look at the cover ..- Lovely audio, Esoteric have done some great remasterings. Sadly on first attempt its not a great pressing for me, non filled on track 1 and quite noisy throughout side one to boot in the quieter passages which this album has a fair few of. Somehow its warped as well but not too badly
Edit: 3rd time lucky 👌 - The Artwork is cloudy and it is not a textured cover as the original. The sound quality is digital. Esoteric definitely used their 24/96 file which was used on their DVD\CD release of this LP. Worst fifty bucks I ever spent. RSD is going down hill in quality and up hill on price.
