By the end of the 1970s, the golden age of progressive rock was over, and Jethro Tull, former rulers of the prog-rock roost, entered the '80s sporting a radical change in both personnel and sound. Some of the change was a result of circumstance--longtime piano player John Evans and keyboardist/arranger David Palmer departed after '79's STORMWATCH, and bassist John Glascock had recently died, leaving only Ian Anderson and guitarist Martin Barre. Anderson enlisted Dave Pegg, the rock-solid former Fairport Convention bass player; prog-rock veteran Eddie Jobson on electric violin and keyboards, and Mark Craney, the first of several Tull drummers in the '80s.
With the art-rock of the '70s out of vogue, Anderson opted to update Tull's image and dispense with the Elizabethan persona that had served him so well for so long. Instead, the group is pictured on the cover in a futuristic air traffic control station, wearing utilitarian white jumpsuits and pensively observing the sky. This was a radical change for a band named after an 18th-century agrarian. On songs like "Crossfire," Anderson gives the Tull sound a convincing '80s makeover, setting his old English melodies against airy production and textured synthesizers.
