Jon Anderson Angels Embrace

Angels Embrace was recorded in 1995, with Anderson as the producer, and mixed at Opio Studios in Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles. In a departure from his previous work, the album sees Anderson explore instrumental and ambient music. He had wanted to compose a “peaceful work“ for some time, which “plays quietly and embraces the whole room“, and used several pieces of musical ideas that he had written and collected over the years as inspiration. Anderson named the album after a pastel painting by English artist Jack Shalatain titled “The Angels Embrace“. His daughters Deborah and Jade provided additional vocals, and additional keyboards are performed by Steve Katz and Keith Heffner.
