I've said it before...but I'll say it again in honor of the War Child release. For me, the basic melody of 'Quartet' is the absolute, deepest in, no joke, beating heart of Tull. Close behind would be the intro to APP and the 'Overseer Overture'...but i can imagine other people going for the 'dee dee dee dee' in Aqualung or the guitar intro to Locomotive Breath. What is the beating heart of Tull ?

There are some very deep Tull moments in Pibroch, Velvet Green, PFA and, surprise, White Innocence.

The beating Heart of Tull = My steelmonkey avatar at this time is out of respect for my friend Bernie. His heart beats true Tull. Always a winner. A wise man.

Overseer gets my vote.
The passage of music - The Foot of Our Stairs, Overseer, Flight From Lucifer and 10:08 from Paddington is my favourite passage of Tull music ever.
It is therefore the best passage of music ever. That's It.
Mind you have you heard Two Fingers on the new remix - stonker ( is that word used elsewhere ?? )

yeah...there is no such thing as just listening to 'Overseer'.....you are 100% compelled to listen thru the last note of the album. The only way to isolate 'overseer' is when you hear it on 'MU'. or some other compilation.

And with the new parts of 'Foot of our Stairs'.......maybe APP, side two post-Hare is the heart of Tull ?

Musically, at least for the earlier stages of Tull, I've always thought Cross-Eyed Mary was one of the most Tullish of the Tullish experiences. Something about that mix of instruments, punchy riffs with a foundation of solid classical-style intro and attractive chord structure, with one of the best song endings anywhere. It drives forward, is loaded with energy and seems like it's barely contained, yet still fully disciplined. A Tullish predicament, no doubt, a band that usually seems to create music aimed at live performance, not for elevators to condo locker storage. Know what I spleen?

There are some very deep Tull moments in Pibroch, Velvet Green, PFA and, surprise, White Innocence. I second the motion for considering Velvet Green. People may laugh at the idea, but I think one song that is very UN-Tullish, to the Nth degree, is Bourree. Tull really wasn't into that role of adapting classical music with a slight jazz twist as standard practice, which was a role done quite well by Moe Koffman but with a very different aim and target market than Tull. But for one song, OK, it worked. Classical still remains a huge and not well-tapped resource for musicians wanting to run some changes and creativity through something, but that's obvious. But to repeat an entire piece (Bach in the case of Bourree), is not Tull's style.

the beat of the Tull heart and the depth of the Tull soul in these; We Used To Know Cross Eyed Mary With You There.. Sossity...
sometimes a glimpse-sometimes in the whole song

I would put 'With You There and Rover' near the top....and all the others very Tullish Tull except Sossity being a bit 'different' and Weathercock having too many better cousins.

The flute part before the chorus and the chorus itself in Sossity touches my soul. The name is uniquely Tullish as well. Weathercock gets me in a way that Velvet Green possibly should yet doesn't.

Was Sossity Ian's much cleverer and more eloquent "Maggie May" or is it deeper than that?

Is it OK to make the case for "Budapest" ?
If ever you wanted a thumping heartbeat, then Peggy's bass is surely the bees knees.

London in the heady days of the bands origins. Probably more so than Blackpool has now for him?

Budapest is more wide than deep. It's all Tull but the heart of that song is the interplay between Ian and Martin and cuts out the rest of the band.

Tomorrow Was Today is officially a classic Tull song. It is Tull DNA, Blood and Guts, Skeleton etc. You know what I'm saying - NR will probably explain what I'm trying to say - more articulate than me and it's Sunday morning.
