A joint venture between Jon Anderson, best known possibly as the lead singer for Yes, and Vangelis.

They formed in 1979 after Vangelis had been rumoured to replace Rick Wakeman in Yes a few years before. Anderson had contributed to Vangelis’ albums “Heaven and Hell”, “See You Later” and “Opera Sauvage”.

They released a total of four albums with Anderson writing the lyrics and Vangelis composing the music: “Short Stories” in 1980, “The Friends of Mr. Cairo” in 1981, “Private Collection” in 1983, and “Page of Life” in 1991, which got re-released in 1998 with some additional tracks of which Vangelis reportedly did not approve. There are also two compilations, called “The Best of Jon & Vangelis” (1984) and “Chronicles” (1994)

Such as perfect combination of giant talents. It makes me wish Jon did more stuff with Tangerine Dream too as Loved By The Sun he did with them for the Legend OST was glorious.
