AN ANDERSON'S CELEBRATED SECOND SOLO ALBUM RETURNS WITH HALF-SPEED REMASTERING

AUDIO REMASTERED FROM THE ORIGINAL SOURCES, PRESSED ON BLACK VINYL

Following his bold 1983 solo debut 'Walk Into Light', Ian Anderson - the legendary flautist, songwriter & frontman of Jethro Tull - returned in 1995 with 'Divinities: Twelve Dances With God', a richly textured & wholly instrumental work that showcased a different side of his musical imagination.

A sweeping, genre-defying suite in twelve parts, 'Divinities' draws deeply on Anderson's lifelong love of classical music, world traditions & pastoral folk. Conceived as a continuous orchestral journey, the album weaves influences from Celtic airs & Middle Eastern motifs to Indian ragas & Baroque counterpoint, all anchored by Anderson's unmistakable flute. The result is one of his most ambitious & evocative projects - a spiritual, cinematic exploration of faith, nature & the divine.

Now 'Divinities: Twelve Dances With God' returns to vinyl in a stunning half-speed remastered edition, expertly mastered by Grammy-winning engineer John Webber at London's AIR Studios using audio sourced from the original tapes. Pressed on black vinyl & housed in a faithful reproduction of the original artwork, this new edition stands as the most detailed & dynamic presentation of the album to date.

Originally premiered live in its entirety with orchestral accompaniment before its release, 'Divinities' remains a singular work within Anderson's catalogue - a testament to his restless creativity & compositional range beyond the bounds of progressive rock.
