"I've always been a dedicated fan of Anderson's spitiruality. Not only through some of its lyric but also by the way he put faith in music. Angel Embrace is an absolute masterpiece. Not only for the wonderful short intro Myo Maya (an opening anthem) til the last note of the CD.
I discovered the power of this album when I played it, in my church, one evening after evensong, when everybody was gone, and I was alone. with the space, the candles, the altar and the cross, and when the music started.....the magic happened.
It was like if the whole choir of heaven was rehearsing Angel Embrace ...Like if some beams of music were filling the whole church, Like a new pentacost, a musical one...
It just sounded like if a new hymnal book from Heaven was being played in my little church... WAOH! that's all I can say in human language....It was probably the strongest religious experience I ve ever made in my carrier as an Anglican minister..
So, go, buy it, turn the volume up, dim the lights in your living room, lighten a candle and enjoy ....A gift from Heaven to Mankind"

Anderson Transcends "Prog" Genre (Yet) Again.

"If you've only ever heard Jon Anderson in Yes, this album will be quite a shock to you. Jon has laid down a very beautiful album that consists of primarily instrumental music.Relying heavily on synthesizers, Jon crafts a very "realistic" sonic landscape. The listener doesn't so much as hear this music as experience it.It's almost minimilist, but it's also very emotional: two qualities that are very difficult to pull off together. Turn the lights down, get a good, hot cup of tea, and let this music wrap you in Jon's Angel's Embrace."

Very Soothing

"I found this CD to be very soothing. Had a bad day? Just put on this CD and feel the tension flow out of you. Not a lot of words to distract you. And what words there are give you a feeling of peace."
