Bringing together six studio albums spanning 1983-2014 alongside the live collection 'Roaming In The Gloaming', the set traces three decades of Anderson's restless musical curiosity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe electronic textures of 'Walk Into Light' introduce a catalogue that moves readily between intimate songwriting \u0026amp; expansive composition. 'Divinities: Twelve Dances With God' places Anderson's flute at the centre of an instrumental suite, while 'The Secret Language Of Birds' \u0026amp; 'Rupi's Dance' reveal the finely observed characters, acoustic detail \u0026amp; melodic warmth of his smaller-scale work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 'Thick As a Brick 2', Anderson returns to the story of Gerald Bostock, extending one of his most celebrated creations into a new century.
