I forgot how great Jethro Tull is.
and isn't that sweet... he's a buddist right?
yeah man, I've got this one...very enjoyable!
thanks for the reminder. This Was, Benefit, Stand Up and Living in the Past were some pretty awesome albums that never made it to my iTunes. gotta fix that!
Tull did produce some quality tuneage in the day, no doubt.
A lot of it is pretty timeless as is all good music! I recently acquired the re-mastered versions of Benefit and Stand Up and they still "stand up" today.
Don't forget "Passion Play"....lengthy, but that's at the top of my list!
Thick as a Brick?
Thick As a Brick has no filler for me. That's one of those late-blooming surprises.
Also, the dynamic of the "tune" changed when it went to cd, don't you think?
Hey, are you talking to ME? I'm embarrassed to confess that I still don't have the CD.
that's ok, I don't have the vinyl :-)
Imagine, if you will, a world where you don't have to get up and flip the disc to hear part two of a performance.
Sorry, Spike, I don't know what I was thinkin
inrumford, what's to apologize for? I don't know what thinkin' of your yours it is that you don't know. As long as you feel guilty, that's all that matters. :<)
By "dynamic of the tune" do you mean the difference between the loud and quiet parts?
People who prefer the sound of vinyl are splitting hairs. CDs have so many advantages.
Dynamic in terms of the listener experience. To be able to listen to the album in an uninterrupted sitting.
I hate having to stand up.
...and having ones musical reverie interrupted :-)
Hey, is that snot running down Santa's nose?
why it must be aquasanta!
It actually sounds the BEST on 8 track, hands down
u may be dating yourself :-)
oh God, I hope people know that was meant to be a joke (albeit a lame one)
:-)
The version of Christmas song referred to appears not to be the original from 69, and the album showing and the album namechecked are 2 different records, and the record folks are talking about here is still another one from their memory banks I guess, Living in the Past.
Anyway A Little Light Music is from 92 and The Christmas Album is from 03, each with slightly different takes on a Christmas Song.
I as a Tullie since 70, seen each and every tour until the last 2, about 80? shows total, would say their most consistent period, if not their best (if you are a hopeless Tullie the whole ride has been great) is from 95 til NOW. Believe me even among hard cores I am in a minority on this opinion, catching up with their unheard catalogue may or may not be worth your time.
MOG added the album title all on it's own as it so often does. I hadn't even noticed that til u pointed it out. Go figure
Not sure if Indiana was kidding and although I don't doubt IA has a deep respect of Buddhism he is not a Buddhist. Somewhere, maybe on the website, he referred to himself as being a Pan-Universalist, or Pan something or other. He seems to have a deep respect as most of us do for all religion, just has a problem with it once the organized part and non spiritual part gets involved, but, there again, so does the Bible (in specific reference to Houses of Bol) and I don't doubt the other great texts also broach this condition.
His solo record in 94, and a very good Ian Anderson record it was, was intended as a celebration of all religions as each of the different tracks and their titles attest to, the name of the CD is Divinities, probably as close to a strictly classical record as he has made, sort of classical lite, but not lite as in muzak, a very good musical cd. It even includes one track dedicated to the then Tull bass player and his fun with his drinks entitled "In The Grip Of Stronger Stuff," and another dedicated to Prince Charles and a speech he made out of respect to all religion, a very pretty song called "In Defence of Faiths".
cool
