Former Yardbird Paul Samwell-Smith was ultimately brought in as a new producer for the album after a recommendation from Conway, who had previously worked with him in Cat Stevens' band. Samwell-Smith arrived in mid-December and the band recorded with him until the album was mastered in February 1982. Samwell-Smith, who described his role on the album as "very much a case of looking to Ian to see what he wanted and then to help him do it", was praised by the band who found him easy to work with. The album was the last recorded by Tull at Maison Rouge, as Anderson sold it in 1983. [6]

I can understand why a lot of Jethro Tull fans would be less satisfied with the sound of the album - it obviously does have a more electronic, more kind of techno sound to it, but for me it's actually one of the albums that I find most pleasant to listen to. Certainly musically very competent, very well played, good stuff." -Ian Anderson 1993 From Jethro Tull Complete Lyrics book.
