The All Jethro Tull Thread

Nice? But when are we getting Aqualung in Atmos?

When the Jets win the Super Bowl.

Ok, is this a must-have Tull order? I recognize a few songs from Songs/Heavy Horses but already have the 5.1 catalogue, for the most part? First foray into Atmos, is that why no Steven Wilson?

The old songs are new (2003) recordings.

I made of scan of your post. I'm holding you to this promise, JohnN.

How can you hold someone to a promise when you're both dead?

Promise? "Atmos Aqualung" sounds good said. DTS Neural X on the 5.1 works well as a substitute. The scan is the Jets jinx...lol

The lemming-hearted hordes running ever-faster to the shore singing,
Isn't it grand to be playing to the stand, dead or alive.

I have to try Neural X. I usually go with Auro 3D on quad albums to give them a bit more of a sense of space; but I find that it can muddle things up on many of the modern 5.1 mixes. (This is using "Medium" with "Strength 10." Hmmmm, perhaps I should play with those settings?)

And all those sites write: 24/44. Must be a typo (24/48 I think is correct).
But anyway, good to read that Bruce Soord did the job of surround mixing.

Maybe it's just me, but I absolutely do not need any Jethro Tull in Atmos - the only exception could be some of their electronic-tinged 80's output. Otherwise I can't imagine any benefit over the 5.1 mixes, which IMO are perfect and absolutely enough for Tull's music, whose "earthly" nature isn't really suited for Atmos in my view.

Of course YMMV.
