''Olias of Sunhillow'' is the debut studio album from the English singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jon Anderson, released in 1976 on Atlantic Records. ==Overview== ''Olias of Sunhillow'' is a progressive rock concept album which tells the story of an alien race and their journey to a new world (the story printed in the LP jacket calls it "the earth", lowercase 'e') due to a volcanic catastrophe. Olias, the title character, is the chosen architect of the glider ''Moorglade Mover'', which will be used to fly his people to their new home. Ranyart is the navigator for the glider, and Qoquaq (pronounced 'ko-quake') is the leader who unites the four tribes of Sunhillow to partake in the exodus. The album represented 8 months of physical work, but it took two years from conception to release. Anderson used more than a hundred tracks in putting the album together, overdubbing strings, organ, harp and percussion (see complete list of instruments further down). Since Anderson produced ''Olias'' soon after Vangelis had auditioned to be a part of Yes, there has been widespread speculation that Vangelis contributed to the album, with some fans going so far as to say that ''Olias'' represents the kind of sound that Yes would have created if Vangelis had in fact joined the band. However, both Vangelis and Anderson have denied that they collaborated on the album. ''Olias of Sunhillow'' is one of five solo albums released by members of Yes in 1975 and 1976, along with Chris Squire's ''Fish Out of Water'', Steve Howe's ''Beginnings'', Alan White's ''Ramshackled'', and Patrick Moraz's ''Story of I''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Olias of Sunhillow」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
