Where this album fits

Released in 1988, 'In the City of Angels' marked Jon Anderson's first solo album since parting ways with Yes. At this point in his career, he was exploring more personal themes and sonic landscapes, moving away from the grandiose arrangements typical of progressive rock. This album followed his collaborative work on soundtracks and reflects his continued evolution as a solo artist.
