Fact #108174

Ian Anderson : I slightly jokingly say it's a folk-prog-metal album with classical music and folk music influences. We have a rich arrangement of essentially rock music, but with lots of elements which are part and parcel of my style, I suppose.I don't try to write music in a style, but that's the context. I think it's important that it can be seen to link with things I've done in the bigger body of work that is 44 years in the making, really.
