Former Yes vocalist Jon Anderson and The Flower Kings guitarist Roine Stolt have teamed up on the four-track release Invention Of Knowledge, which arrives on June 24 via InsideOut Music. The title track clocks in at over 23 minutes, with the shortest offering being the 11-minute Know.
Anderson says: "Music is always the driving force in my life. Working with such a wonderful musician as Roine Stolt made the creation of this album very unique, we are very excited with the release of Invention of Knowledge." Stolt adds: "It is not aiming at being new Yes music, just new music – modern and classical, rock, tribal and orchestrated, grooving and floating.
"Hopefully in the true spirit of progressive - leaning forward, surprising and also comforting with familiar run-arounds. We’ve been 'inventing' as we go along - Jon is an endless source of new ideas. We’ve been bouncing ideas back and forth for months and as a result there are probably dozens of versions of these songs. It’s been a very interesting and rewarding time and the result is just insanely detailed."
Here’s a first album trailer. Just 35 seconds, but… wow.

I reported this leak about a week ago but it still hasn’t been updated.
This has been available on torrent sites now for a full week. If that doesn’t qualify as “leaked” then I don’t know what does.
In addition, the prog rock web show Papa J’s has played a good chunk of the album the past two weeks, May 14 & 21.
Seems like the physical release of this has been pushed back until late July, which is kinda crazy seeing as it leaked over 2 months before then!
Damnit I thought it was .Paak
