In 1984 Ian Anderson and Peter-John Vettese cut the similar-sounding Under Wraps using the Jethro Tull banner. Most of the work, including drum programming, was done by Anderson in his home studio before guitar and bass guitar were added. The group members were excited about their latest sounds, which brought a cold edginess to the usual intricate music. Lyrically, Anderson was letting go of his Olde English façade; here he showed his fascination with Cold War-era espionage. The original release had 11 tracks, with "Astronomy," "Tundra," "Automotive Engineering," and "General Crossing" appearing as B-sides and bonus tracks around the world. Now the standard release carries all 15 tracks. [The 2005 reissue adds the video for "Lap of Luxury."]
