Comments: This is Tony's first solo album and was recorded in studios
and hotel rooms around the world. Much of it spur of the moment jams
and all of it is instrumental. Theres a lot of ethnic music on it, provided by
the wide variety of musicians who accompany Tony on this album. Of 
note to Yes fans, is the track titled "Jewels" which is a reworked
longer form of "Evensong" from _Union_. (***)
