The All Jethro Tull Thread

It has to be

End of days ...

Playing The End by The Doors. Jethro Tull 1968-1999 will do.

I actually like the new track quite a bit - the minor caveat being Ian's very limited range and diminished vocal power. I haven't sampled the track in Atmos yet but expect it will sound great given it's a Soord mix. Although I wish IA would be willing to give a different vocalist a chance to breathe life into his still potent compositions, I've long since reconciled that he'll never relinquish that position under the Jethro Tull banner.

Lyrics are failing for me. I got into Tull because of the lyrics.

He had a supporting vocalist for the TAAB/TAAB2 tour and it was pretty awesome. The supporting vocalist kicked in on the higher notes and he sounded a lot like the young IA. I thought it was a great concert. I like this track and I agree that it would be enhanced by some supporting vocals.

I've just sampled the track in Atmos on Apple Music and I think it's one of Bruce Soords' best mixes of JT to date. Vocals and flute are firmly anchored front center, with a huge soundstage and great use of the surround and height channels (echoing vocals ping-ponging right over your head), not to mention the overall production and sound quality. The interplay between the organ and guitar is particularly noteworthy. It really makes me look forward to the rest of the album.
