Opps, can't discuss evolution here.

I do sometimes wonder if we're actually heading in the opposite direction!

Devo definitely agrees with you.

I’ve been saying that for a while now…they were prescient…for better or worse

Do we know if there are plans for Crest of a Knave and Rock Island?

The former won a Grammy, after all…

Would really like a Crest of A Knave re-release. It's one of my favs because of "Budapest." And a few other fine tidbits.

I heard it was a hot night.

Of the remaining studio albums, I'm most interested in Crest Of A Knave and Roots To Branches - both albums tried some different things musically and I think are very underrated. Under Wraps would only be interesting to me if they could fully replace the sterile drum machine sound with real drums - a remix would definitely help but can take you only so far.

I'll buy any Tull boxset that is released, but I would really love Roots to Branches. I think that was their best album since Broadsword. I'm sure Crest of a Knave will be released at some point.

You’re beginning to sound like @JohnN.

Sound like? I count the hours: you count the days.
Together, we count the minutes in this Passion Play.

+Relaxed in the knowledge
that happily present
are all things to sustain me,
nurture and claim me:
roll back the mileage.

Same here - great record, long after I thought Tull could/would release a great record past their '70s glory years.

I love the whole album, and think it would benefit (no pun intended) from a nice Atmos re-release.

My dad was a Tull fan since 1971. I was born in 1971. Tull was his favorite band for as long as I remember. After my parents divorced, he would send me 45s in the mail once a month or so. I remember one month receiving "Bungle in the Jungle". I also remember when Heavy Horses was released, and listening to it constantly when I visited him one summer. So, my fandom I owe to him, despite our rather rocky relationship. 'A Passion Play' is my second favorite album of all time. At one point I was listening it to twice a day for 44 days straight. So, yes. Yuuuuuuge fan.

Thanks for sharing this personal tale (the whole post, I mean). It's lovely to see how music touches people's lives.
