Chatting to my son who's just finished studying record production and sound engineering; I was listening to some late 60's prog and psychedelic songs and I was struck that the early (and then experimental) additions - echo machines etc and the way the songs were mixed sounds really lovely today because of their simplicity.
The technology for mixing in the studio was limited, however they seemed to produce songs of great warmth and substance.
this for example - chorus 0.38.......of course having a beautiful song helps too!
I was trying to think of all the sound effects that Tull have used in songs over the years and the most and least effective of them.
Suggestions?

The two vocal channels on Look into the Sun, is clever, and how they did all the backwards flute on With you there to Help Me, is amazing. Just two off the top of my head.

The telephone voice in Aqualung, these days produced electronically but back in the day ?

Do you mean the distant quiet voice in song Aquqlung? I always thought it's supposed to sound like a scuba diver sort of? That is what aqualung refers too. The old homeless dude whose breathing sounds like a scuba diver's. Labored and raspy. And when you hear scuba divers talking on their helmet radios it sounds similar.

I used the telephone description as that is what IA described it as in an early article but yes I agree that the scuba diver description is probably more apt.

I'm thinking B&TB for some reason as having special effects and The Clasp in particular but on listening, I don't think it does, just different sounds on an 80's keyboard.
