===1990–2004: Return to Yes and solo career===
In 1990, after the ABWH tour, a series of business deals caused ABWH to reunite with the then-current members of Yes, who had been out of the public eye while searching for a new lead singer. The resulting eight-man band assumed the name Yes, and the album ''[[Union (Yes album)|Union]]'' (1991) was assembled from various pieces of an in-progress second ABWH album, as well as recordings that Yes had been working on without Anderson. A successful tour followed.

Jon and Vangelis released their fourth album, ''[[Page of Life]]'', in 1991. In 1992 Anderson appeared on [[Kitaro]]'s album ''[[Dream (Kitarō album)|Dream]]'', adding both lyrics and vocals to three songs: "Lady of Dreams", "Island of Life" and "Agreement". He also toured South America with a band that included his daughters, Deborah and Jade. He appeared on the song "Along the Amazon" which he co-wrote for violinist [[Charlie Bisharat]]'s album of the same name. In 1993, Anderson started work on ''[[Change We Must]]'', his seventh solo album, featuring a mixture of original and orchestrated versions of songs he had sung with Yes, Vangelis, and his solo career. It was released in October 1994 on EMI and [[Angel Records]].

From 1992 to 1994, Anderson recorded the Yes album ''[[Talk (Yes album)|Talk]]'' (1994). "Walls", written by Rabin and [[Roger Hodgson]], reached number 24 on the ''Billboard'' Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.<ref name="SomethingElse">{{cite web|url=http://somethingelsereviews.com/2014/12/25/roger-hodgson-yes-trevor-rabin/|title=Roger Hodgson collaboration represents road not taken for Yes: 'One of those things that fizzled out'|publisher=Something Else!

There were plans to release a live album called ''The Best of South America'', but it was not released due to management issues (though some copies were already released by ''Yes Magazine''). Anderson sang on the [[7th Level]] children's video game ''[[Tuneland]]''. Also, his son Damion released a single called "Close 2 the Hype", which featured him and Jon on vocals.

In August 1995, Anderson relocated to [[San Luis Obispo]] in California.<ref name=obispo1996>{{cite news|url=http://zenponies.com/yitp/1996/feb/feb23_96.html|title=Yes Singer Jon Anderson's Love Affair with SLO by way of Atlantis|newspaper=San Luis Obispo County Telegram-Tribune|first=Coleen|last=Bondy|date=23 February 1996|access-date=3 September 2016|archive-date=15 September 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160915060117/http://zenponies.com/yitp/1996/feb/feb23_96.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> His eighth studio album, ''[[Angels Embrace]]'', was released on 26 September 1995 on the [[Higher Octave Music]] label.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9A0EAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA40|title=Higher Octave|date=23 September 1995|magazine=Billboard|page=40|via=Google Books|issn=0006-2510|volume=107|issue=38|access-date=27 October 2016}}</ref> His first primarily instrumental album, it displays Anderson performing [[ambient music]] with assistance from [[Steve Katz (musician)|Steve Katz]] and Keith Heffner on keyboards and his two daughters on vocals.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/angels-embrace-mw0000180578|title=Jon Anderson — Angels Embrace|website=[[AllMusic]]|first=Steven|last=McDonald|access-date=3 September 2016}}</ref> Anderson followed this with ''[[Toltec (album)|Toltec]]'', a concept album released on 30 January 1996 on [[Windham Hill Records]] that tells the story of Toltec, "a [[Indigenous peoples of the Americas|Native American]] concept of a group of people who have been all over the Earth, existing within different cultures throughout the centuries".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/toltec-mw0000179797|title=Jon Anderson — Toltec|website=[[AllMusic]]|first=Gary|last=Hill|access-date=3 September 2016}}</ref> The album was meant to be released in 1993 as ''The Power of Silence'', minus the sound effects and narration added later, but it was cancelled following issues with [[Geffen Records]].

In the mid-1990s, Anderson had planned to tour and record in China, but abandoned the idea in favour of writing and recording new music with Yes after Wakeman and Howe rejoined the band. Anderson's move to San Luis Obispo influenced the decision for Yes to record their three-night stint at the town's [[Fremont Theater]] in March 1996, as part of their subsequent studio and live album sets ''[[Keys to Ascension]]'' and ''[[Keys to Ascension 2]]'', released in 1996 and 1997, respectively.<ref name=obispo1996/> On 12 May 1996, Anderson performed an 80-minute set at a [[Mother's Day]] concert in [[Paso Robles, California]], formed of Yes, Jon and Vangelis, and solo material.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mothers-Day-Concert-Jon-Anderson/dp/B000NO20Q0|title=The Mothers Day Concert — Jon Anderson|publisher=Amazon|access-date=3 September 2016}}</ref> Anderson's next album, ''[[Lost Tapes of Opio]]'', was released in 1996 on audio cassette through his Opio Foundation. Formed of songs recorded since the 1980s, proceeds from the release were donated to [[UNICEF]].

In 1997, Anderson released the [[Celtic music|Celtic]]-influenced ''[[The Promise Ring (album)|The Promise Ring]]'' with his second wife, Jane Luttenburger, sharing vocals. The album is a live recording of music performed by them and members of the Froggin' Peach Orchestra, the name given to a group of 28 musicians based in the Frog & Peach pub in San Luis Obispo. During their honeymoon in 1997, Anderson and Luttenburger recorded ''Earthmotherearth'' which was followed by ''The More You Know'' in 1998, recorded in Paris with French artist [[Francis Jocky]]. It was Anderson's last studio release for 13 years. Anderson appeared on the song "The Only Thing I Need" by act [[4Him]] in 1999; it was recorded for ''Streams'', a multi-group album. [[Steve Howe (guitarist)|Steve Howe]]'s tribute album ''[[Portraits of Bob Dylan]]'' also featured a cover of the [[Bob Dylan]] song "[[Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands]]" with Anderson's vocals. He also recorded with the Fellowship on their album ''In Elven Lands'', inspired by the works of [[J. R. R. Tolkien]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/in-elven-lands-mw0000674041 |title=The Fellowship: In Elven Lands |website=allmusic.com |access-date=14 July 2020}}</ref>

In 2000, Anderson had started work on a sequel album to ''Olias of Sunhillow'' named ''[[The Songs of Zamran: Son of Olias]]''.<ref name="musicstreetjournal.com 2001 Interview With Jon Anderson of Yes">{{cite web |url=http://www.musicstreetjournal.com/interviews_display.cfm?id=100057 |title=Interview With Jon Anderson of Yes from 2001 (by Gary Hill) |date= 2001 |website=Musicstreetjournal.com |access-date= 13 February 2016}}</ref> Development on the project slowed since then; in 2011, he reasoned the delay as it spans up to three hours in length, of which he has written the majority of it, but needs additional time "to figure out how to recreate it correctly". Anderson expressed a wish of putting out an interactive album with "an app that allows people to go on a journey, [to] choose a new journey every time they open it up, and hear it in a different way every time".<ref name="theclevelandsound.com Jon Anderson Survivor Interview 2011">{{cite web |url=http://www.theclevelandsound.com/?p=8761 |title=Yes Singer Jon Anderson is Survivor |date=30 August 2011 |website=Theclevelandsound.com |access-date=14 February 2016 |archive-date=1 September 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160901225209/http://www.theclevelandsound.com/?p=8761 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

In September 2004, Yes wrapped their 35th Anniversary Tour and they entered a four-and-a-half year hiatus. In the tour's last week, Anderson was suffering from stress, asthma, bronchitis, and exhaustion.<ref>{{cite news|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041011212717/http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/entertainment/music/9680393.htm|url=http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/entertainment/music/9680393.htm|title=Singer reflects on 36 years of Yes|date=16 September 2004|archive-date=11 October 2004|first=Brad|last=Kava|newspaper=San Jose Mercury News|access-date=2 September 2018}}</ref>
