At the invitation of EMI Records (Classical Division) this album was recorded at various times during 1994 between Jethro Tull tours. Focusing on the flute both for the writing and the performing of this music, Ian Anderson has committed himself for the first time to the recording of instrumental and orchestral music, drawing on his interest in comparative religious and cultural influences. Music at celebration is the key here: brightly coloured by elements of improvisation, this material echoes the many diverse and sometimes conflicting spiritual yearnings which might trouble the itinerant middle-aged musician on his continuing journey across the world's stages. Apparently, it was also quite fun to play. - Ali Aziz - The Mesopotamia Sun Times, 1995
