1981 Polydor Ltd., (U.K.)
Friends of Mr. Cairo
Date of Release 1981
The second album-length collaboration between Jon Anderson and Vangelis is almost perfect in its blending of elements; it's only when the pair try to do some serious rocking on "Back to School" that things take a bit of a nosedive. Other than that, though, there are some classic cuts to be found on this record, including the breathtaking "I'll Find My Way Home," "State of Independence" (which became a popular tune to cover) and the brilliantly optimistic "Mayflower," which catapults the listener into a star-traveling future. Grand stuff. - Steven McDonald
