From the A New Day site on Facebook earlier today: "A New Day #137, out next week, featuring an interview with Dee Palmer, FULL details of the soon-come A 3CD+2DVD bookset "A LA MODE", and much more." So we have a name for the A book set, and confirmation of the number of discs, there. Happy days. I assume this will also mean we'll get an official announcement from Tull's various social media incarnations online sometime before we read it in print in A New Day. "A La Mode" - "Up To Date" good title and with a nod to 'A' song in another album? Nah, just a coincidence. I think we've got a Thread for that! jethrotull.proboards.com/thread/323/most-repeated-word-tull-songs

We had haggis, tatties and neeps. for tea tonight.........superb it was too. I know very little about Burns, but if he wrote "Ay Fond Kiss" that's enough for me....... Lovely meal!! I don't know much of Robert Burns work either but I've been reading up and he's pretty good and was quite the radical.

I would like him to take Gerald Bostock into a pandemic… I’m sure that Ian would do a marvelous job… Yeah, just imagine angry, old and grumpy Gerald who refuses to receive Covid 19 vaccine. And because of that, he runs away from the nursing home.

Jim, if your in touch with Kenny Wylie can you ask him if he came from Glasgow and slightly bizarre, if he ran a mobile disco back in the day and knew anyone in the music business back then? I remember reading this a while back. Jim, this is the official reply from the office of Mr. Wylie to Nonrabbit's question.. "I am originally from Glasgow, and yes, I did run a mobile disco, but it was a very low key affair and I didn't get many gigs!" Many thanks Jim. So pleased to get an answer to that question after all these years - thanks Kenny! Haha the mobile disco was based not very far from where I live, now I'll just have to research anyone who was there

Currently binge-watching the BBC Thriller The Serpent set in the early 70's about the serial killer who preyed on hippies in Thailand, Nepal and India. It's really good and conjures up the atmosphere of the time and the place.
A familiar face popped up as well!Ryan plays a rich hippy. I wonder if he got any advice from anyone? Joking

Giles Read "London-based Giles Read has been compared with Nick Drake, Jeff Buckley, Davy Graham and Donovan and does indeed possess the magic of a wondrous minstrel with a softly beguiling voice singing (folk) “tales of hardship and hope”
accompanied by the the masterful chime of his sophisticated guitar-work, which at times reminds me of the folk-rock maestro himself - Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull)

The amazing drone display (click full screen) that replaced the Hogmanay/New Year party in Edinburgh.
I hope they do it every year - it was incredible.

The cover artwork is very similar in style to the Dutch artist Fredrik Marinus Kruseman (1816 - 1882) Well that's my theory anyway How does it feel to be right - six years later?

Well done themousepolice : some nice detective work A warm welcome to the JT Forum A Very Warm Welcome to the JT Forum themousepolice from me as well.I just googled Frederik Marinus Kruseman, his romantic-style paintings are so beautiful,especially at this time of the year. I wonder which room in Tull Mansions doth the painting hang? If he's still got it:)

www.heraldscotland.com/16th October 2016Jethro Tull star Anderson says he still considers himself a '"dour Scot"JETHRO TULL star Ian Anderson has revealed he deliberately erased his accent as a child, but still considers himself the epitome of the "dour Scot". Anderson became famous for playing the flute on one leg while sporting a codpiece as part of the psychedelic, '70s prog rock band. But the Edinburgh-born musician told the Mail on Sunday that he didn't come out of his shell until he moved to Blackpool with his family when he was 12. The 69-year-old said: "I started to play music and after a terror-stricken first appearance at the Holy Family youth club in front of a few Catholic schoolgirls, I found my expression and ability to project — something I didn't think I had in me. "But I spoke with an Edinburgh accent and my classmates called me Jock and thought as little of the Scottish as my primary schoolmates had thought of the few English boys in our class who were constantly teased and bullied." Though he has lived in Gloucestershire for the past 22 years, he still considers his Scottish roots a big part of his identity. He said: "I probably epitomise the dour Scot, a Presbyterian, Gordon Brown-like figure who tut-tuts in the background, occasionally gets cheerful if I've had a glass of whisky and sports some of my lunch down my tie." He also said he wasn't that sociable and doesn't like crowds, saying he and Jethro Tull band members were "like nuns" compared to famous hedonists of the day like Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie and Elvis Presley. He has just embarked on a World Tour with the band and will release a remastered version of their second album, Stand Up, next month. But he said is more than happy to take more of a back-seat these days, compared to son-in-law Andrew Lincoln, star of TV show the Walking Dead. He added: "I'm used to being ignored when I'm with him. They think I'm his driver or maybe his dad." I'll wager a shiny penny (reluctantly that's he's describing his father in that article. Have to say also that the word 'dour' has many meanings including having a dry, cynical sense of humour inherent in many Scots.

Some goofy Dutch or Danish film, with 'waves' in the title, about a guy who gets hurt on an oil rig and then all sorts of existential, profound chaos ensues...mostly around who gets to do his wife while he's paralyzed...had a few measures of Cross Eyed Mary as background music to a scene where a helicopter landed or took off from an oil rig. Haha answering an eleven year old post. I liked the film and I thought Emily Watson was brilliant. Cross-Eyed Mary - what else! at 1.10

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.

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?
