Genre: Prog rock
Places I remember: Fopp (Covent Garden)
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: The Turnpike Inn
Gear costume: Doggerland, Meliora Sequamur
Active compensatory factors: This maybe, possibly, could be, the third part of Jethro Tull's Thick As A Brick (and Anderson's Thick As A Brick 2 from 2012), as the lyrics are again by the fictional Gerald Bostick.

It is a worthy third part (if that's the plan). Homo Erraticus is a progressive rock album which, according to Anderson, blends folk and medieval as well as heavy metal music styles. He does so with aplomb!
The music reminds me of classic flute/electric guitar style Jethro Tull.
The story line is something I've yet to get my head around (it's a conceit within a conceit), but I really like the way the album reveals more and more with each hearing.
It is a rewarding experience. So, bravo Mr Tull.
Where do they all belong? As prog as prog gets in the 2010s.
