Journey To The Centre Of The Earth is pretty great, especially the "save me!" and "praise god!" bits. Quite a departure from Six Wives.

Some of the songlike parts are quite sweet too. "Forests from far gone time, no living man has seen, A private pre-historic world, for you and I a dream".

I heard this a couple of times more than 30 years ago, almost all I remember is "an embryo at birth". He's fine in Yes, but Wakeman is probably the one "big name" of 70s prog whose solo work does nothing for me.

So far I love his first two albums, I've got the next three at least.

I'd bail before the new age period if I were you

When asked about his personal favorites, he said the first 3 and A Suite Of Gods. So I feel I should at least try the latter.
