Invention of Knowledge was recorded in Sweden by several musicians, including Tom Brislin, Daniel Gildenlöw, and members of Stolt’s band The Flower Kings. Invention of Knowledge received some positive reviews from critics. It charted in several countries, and reached number 58 on the UK Albums Chart. Anderson and Stolt discussed the idea of performing the album live on tour, but no tour for the album was mounted. 1. “Invention“ Jon Anderson, Neil Campbell, Roine Stolt 9:41 2. “We Are Truth“ Anderson, Dan Spollen 6:41 3. “Knowledge“ Anderson, Campbell, Stolt 6:30 4. “Knowing“ Anderson, Kristian Ducharme, Stolt 10:31 5. “Chase and Harmony“ Anderson, Ducharme 7:17 6. “Everybody Heals“ Anderson, Stolt, Campbell, Joseph Cowell, Andy Maslivec, Marty Snape 7:36 7. “Better by Far“ Anderson, Spollen 2:03 8. “Golden Light“ Anderson, Stolt, Campbell, Cowell, Maslivec, Snape 3:30 9. “Know...“ Anderson, Ducharme, Stolt 11:10 Anderson/Stolt Jon Anderson – lead and backing vocals, synthesiser, percussion Roine Stolt – electric guitar, acoustic guitars, Dobro, Portuguese guitar, lap steel guitar, keyboards, percussion, backing vocals Additional musicians Tom Brislin – Yamaha C7 grand piano, Fender Rhodes piano, Hammond B-3 organ, synthesizers Lalle Larsson – grand piano, synthesizer Jonas Reingold – bass guitar, backing vocals Michael Stolt – bass guitar, Moog bass Felix Lehrmann – drums Daniel Gildenlöw – backing vocals Nad Sylvan – backing vocals Anja Obermayer – backing vocals Maria Rerych – backing vocals Kristina Westas – backing vocals Production Roine Stolt – production, mixing at Cosmic Lodge, February–March 2016 Jon Anderson – co-production Lars Hallbäck – backing vocals recording Jonas Reingold – mastering Silas Toball – artwork Eva Toball – artwork assistant Johnny Taxen – photographs Per Kristianssen – photographs Lilian Westin – photographs Anders Olsson – photographs Hans Froberg – photographs Erik Edlund – photographs
