     I've never heard of Strange Advance (not surprising, since I'm an
American, eh).  I can tell you a little about Gowan, though, since I've
heard descriptions of him and his music before.

     He's got three albums out, _Gowan_, _Strange Animal_, and _Great
Dirty World_.  The one that Jon Anderson sings backup vocals on is
_Great Dirty World_ (the song that Jon sings on is "Moonlight Desires"),
and that's the only album by Gowan that I have.  It's a good album
throughout: a few ballads (which are my favourite), a few hard pop-rock
songs, a few musically enticing songs.  I've heard that it's not his
best, however, and I'm dying to visit Canada and pick up the other two. 
He should be coming out with a new album sometime soon, if my musician's
instincts are correct, so look for it.

                                              Christopher.
