4.0 out of 5 stars Sublime, but try the import version first, December 28, 2000

No matter how you package this incredible album, it will always shine. This has a few perks that the original does not have, such as Change We Must and a great 5 minute Vangelis intro to Wisdom Chain. It is a must for all completists, but if you are only getting one Page of Life, you need the import version which has 4 other incredible songs strangely not on the American release. Vangelis himself was very upset that this version was ever released. Some of the songs were remixed and do sound different from the originals, but, to be fair to Jon Anderson, it still is a masterpiece of an album. The song Page of Life must be one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Change We must and Garden of Senses are so inspirational and uplifting. It is hard to listen to this album and not feel more relaxed and inspired. I suggest buying both versions, you really can't lose.

This album is a long awaited release as it was just a foriegn release until a little while ago. A great version of "Change we Must" is here and (though not credited) Jimmy Haun play's all the electric guitars on the album. Jon is in good voice and the songs hold together well. A must have.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for all JON ANDERSON fans............, August 21, 1999

I bought the Cd in 1991 and still listen to it often today.. Wisdom Chain:..... is a wonderful song with heavy bass lines and very high vocals by Jon.... "Love is the perfect place" will stay with you long after hearing this song. Page of Life:... is a painting in it self, keyboards and vocal take you to another world, one of inner reflection. Jazzy Box:.... is just that, a wild jazzy number that is wildly different from anything Vangelis has done before. Garden of Senses:..... If you don't find your self laying in a beautiful garden when listening to this song then you are not listening, one of the top 5 Jon/Vangelis songs ever.....not to be topped. Is it love:..... Put this song on your CD player and hold your loved one in your arms, turn off the lights, light a candle. romance will soon follow... Anyone can Light a Candle:...... A Jon classic, Vangelis soars with wonderful panio, simple and beautiful. Be a Good Friend of Mine:...... A real rocker, very heavy drumming and keyboads abound, JON is on target. Shine for Me:...... Jon and Vangelis have been down this road before, wonderful. Genevieve:.... Simple and a real delight. JON's voice is in top form here. Journey to Ixtlan:..... Could have been much longer, the song ends just as it really kicks in. Little Guitar:..... Just that, a wonderful little guitar song...ie: Steve Howe could have pinned this one. Money:.... I think that Jon and Vangelis is sending the music industry a message on this one.....Fun and very different for JON.......... Trust me!! you must have this CD......Love is the perfect Place..........And so is this CD, one of my all time favorites.......and I am a huge YES fan.
