I will reply and fix as soon as possible. In Jethro Tull were riding high on the crest of a popularity wave. They sold out huge arenas on the back of their critically acclaimed fifth album Thick As A Brick.
The question was, how do you follow a concept album comprising a single minute piece of music? The answer was, with a double album of separate songs of course. For the first time in their five year career Tull went into the studio with an unchanged line-up. So, don't worry about it - you still can enjoy Tull's sound. For me personally, there is no such thing as bad composition here with this compilation. My first favorite when I got this album in cassette version was "Elegy".
But it grew on me as I also liked all other tracks. That's why I upgraded the format to CD couple of years later. Take "Bouree" for example. Observe how brilliant the composition as the original music has been enriched wonderfully and we still get the essence of the original music. Yes, you still can enjoy flute work direct from Mr. Ian Anderson. On track that was actually not Tull as it's Anderson solo "Fly By Night" - it's more attractive this version than the original studio version.
I also enjoy the Medley part. Overall, it's an excellent addition to any prog music collection that Tull fans "must" have. If you never heard the music of Tull, you still can enjoy this album as it basically offers a stream of "classical" music.
But, I have a question for you: How come you never heard any music of Tull? It's legendary and it's a must! Proggers, don't you agree with me? Keep on proggin'..! It seems that it is more a project between Ian and David Palmer Dee Palmer in the meantime since he underwent a "sex reassignment surgery" in David let's call him this way used to take care of some symphonic arrangements for the Tull in the early years of their career. He will be an effective member of the Tull playing keys and synth.
The track listing sounds great, but when I listen to this record, it is too much classic mania for me. The orchestra is replacing the leading vocals so it is a pure instrumental work. There is one beautiful rendition for "Elegy" from "Storwatch". There are actually too few songs from the Tull that are made for this type of conversion IMO. Having an orchestra in the background is one thing like Camel in "A Live Record" while they were playing the entirety of the "Snow Goose" or Yes for "Symphonic Music of Yes" , but here the orchestra is the central piece of this studio album.
Most of the time, I have the impression to listen to Gershwin. This is another Tull mistake that you should pass by and leave it in the bin. One star. I am not fond usually of mixing regular rock songs with an often overwhelming orchestra.
What makes me like this album is also the selection of songs as i do like them all. Not an album i listen to often but an album i am proud to own! Ian's always had a classical bent. Remember "Bouree" maybe? But still, this often overlooked album is a tiny bit of a treat.
On the surface, it's nothing too special. An orchestra playing a rock band's songs. Big deal. That's unoriginal, and tacky, right? Well, except for three things. First off, it's an excellent, intelligent song selection. Secondly, the actual band plays on almost all the songs. The audio-only DVD, which is available exclusively with this version, is packed with 58 tracks, including the album and bonus tracks in 5.
It also contains the U. K and U. The American version was sequenced differently and replaced the U. This 50th anniversary package includes the original album and bonus tracks remixed in stereo by Steven Wilson, live BBC sessions from , the original mix of the album in both mono and stereo, a flat transfer of the US stereo mix and the original album and bonus tracks remixed by Steven Wilson in 4.
