Jethro Tull - A (A La Mode edition) (3 CD / 3 DVD) - Steven Wilson remix

I just don't want to get ripped of and tricked into buying stuff I don't want or need.
I am a completist, and each time I listen to this CD I would either get angry that I am missing three tracks, or get angry because I let him trick me into subscribing a magazine I have zero interest in just to get his sampler where the remaining three tracks are on.

 

Never subscribed. Makes for a healthy Tull fan. LOL

 

Oh really, they're holding back three tracks? Has this been confirmed, or just an assumption based on previous releases? I wouldn't know either way since I've never subscribed.

 

Totally agree about the drumming on Broadsword, it's just so...normal. There's very little syncopation going on. Makes me really miss Barrie Barlow's contribution to the band.

Pre-order now available at Bull Moose.

 

Just pre-ordered at Bull Moose.

 

Me too, I don't trust Amazon after the UFO boxset fiasco.

 

Funny enough, I had always tought that, apart of the mastering, the word "adapted" was referred to the book format used (at the time we already had all up to TOTRTYTD sets) in place of the first 12" + book edition...

 

Yes, that's it

 

I think the answer is probably "not yet" but have track times surfaced anywhere?

 

Where did I get the idea Coriusk was an instrumental? This could be a 7 minute vocal epic

 

The very title is the word "chorus," as spoken by Popeye the sailor.

 

"A New Day" magazine confirmed it's an instrumental

 

Canadians (and others) here you go, 53$ CAD on pre-order!

Thanks, I'd looked at Burning Shed before buying it from A New day but it wasn't listed then.
At the risk of going off-topic, I've received my copy now and played it a few times in the background. It's a good fun piece of work bearing in mind the main bulk of it is the classical based arrangements. The sound is somewhat compressed unfortunately (see below), but it doesn't sound too bad to me, probably because it's a clear and relatively uncluttered arrangement.

Right...

...right. Remember - Adapted edition happened because of the members here and there that reported errors. We're being watched. It pays to bitch.

 

It is.... Very interesting. It's certainly one for discussion. I can't wait to read opinions.

 

I’m guessing we’re in for the only ambient soundscape JT track in their history. And it’s a serious guess.

 

Certainly, I'm a living proof of that!

 

My copies of the Heavy Horses and Stormwatch sets have arrived, and I'm kicking myself for not jumping on these sooner. (I loved Tull a lot more in the '90s when I was a teenager; I just seem to have fallen off them in the past decade or so.) These things are so well-done they really should be the benchmark for every artist's back catalog. They also serve as a nice history of the band, straight from the horses' mouths; I really don't feel like I would need an autobiography from Ian Anderson after reading these, for example.

I haven't yet dove into the music as I've been familiar with the bonus stuff (thanks Apple Music) but I certainly will. I'm keeping an eye open for some of the other sets, but I'm probably SOL with most of them. Ah well – bring on A!

 

No. Very Tull

 

I know, could be a Tull power ambient soundscape of misty Isle boat trips.

 

Curious to know what the running time is ...

And also running time of the other extra studio tracks.

 

Last time I checked, around 6 for Coriusk. Track times can change without notice
