Jon Anderson has always had Christian leanings; his Yes-mate Rick Wakeman
is a believer, and has been a strong influence. but Anderson always goes
new-agey-flakey in the end.
singing with 4Him is a really interesting twist, though...where'd you hear
about this?

Only a "Big Deal" lately. Oh, and there's a book, too.

I'm a big Yes fan, and from what I have been able to glean of Jon's
beliefs, he is into everything -- transcendentalism, new age, pantheism,
UFOs, he's kind of "addicted" to spirituality and tries a little bit of
everything. He's super-spiritual, but in a way that embraces everything,
especially mysticism. I'm not sure if at the core of all this there's
a Christian element or not. If so, he's not a traditional Christian.
He seems to be interested in things that transcend this existence, and
seems to be prone to mystical, transcendental stuff where the spirit
goes beyond this universe to something higher.
I could be totally wrong; my picture of him is through his lyrics
and what I have read about his life and beliefs. He does have some
Christian-inspired lyrics, but they are melded in with very non-Christian
themes; almost simultaneously in some cases.

It's true, they have a song on the _Streams_ project.
Jon Anderson, as far as I know, still believes in the "Devine Mother", the
"Spirtual Family", and other such new-age things, but he was recording
in the same studio as 4Him and is friends with producer Brent Bourgeois.
By the way, the new Yes album, _The Ladder_ releases on
Sept. 28. :-) :-) :-)

way that came about was through Robin Crow. Jon has been recording and writing
with Robin at his Nashville studio. Brent Bourgeois ran into Jon there and
asked him to sing on the Streams record. I don't know how many of you remember
Robin Crow, but he put out a number of albums in the CCM world throughout the
80's. Then had a great solo guitar type album called "Electric Cinema" that
came out in 1992 (on which he did a great instrumental version of Roundabout).
I can't wait to hear the project that Robin and Jon have been working on.
Also, regarding the new Yes record, it comes out in September (either the 14th
or the 28th, I've seen both dates listed). It's called "The Ladder"...I have a
pre-release CD and it is the best thing they've done since 90125. An incredible
record that should appeal to early Yes fans, 80's Yes fans and even some of you
who aren't hardcore Yes fans.
