It sounds like he made some big changes in the mix for "A"! I agree with him that some of the songs are pretty good, but the production and style(Much like Under Wraps)was a radical change for Tull, and not an especially welcome one in my view.

Mettler: A is a weird album in the Jethro Tull catalog. It's like a bridge between two universes, and it seems to me like it's a transitional record. Were you very familiar with A, or not much at all, growing up?
Wilson: Not much at all—which is another reason why I originally said I shouldn't be doing it, because I always feel like I want to know the record pretty well before I do it. But I got into it, and I think you're right. It's a transitional record. The incorporation of electronic elements into it isn't wholly successful, I don't think, but you can see more of a new way of doing Tull things. I still feel there are some great songs on it, and Ian [Anderson] is such a great writer. I will always enjoy new ways of enhancing the music that means so much to all of us. Every new remix release can be a unique and special version of what was the evolution of TULL.
