Wider audience, yep. Mighty challenge, yep. Altered for live performance, sure, if done deliberately by a band loaded up with people capable of playing it with total immersion, at the talent level required. Can't say more, because I don't know where that band is.

If APP is remixed, what should the remix product include? I'd like to hear bandmember comments on the recording and touring of it.

I think that the sleeve should be expanded into a booklet rather like the other remastered albums and also that the whole piece should be tracked in a similar fashion to the super duper gold edition which goes for mega bucks on ebay and other auction sites on the web. And . . . it would be great to see some photographs of the band in the studio around 1973, ones that we haven't seen before. Surely they must exist somewhere ?

APP is my favorite Tull album. I'm looking forward to the Steve Wilson remix! I recently turned my wife on to APP, but I think she only listens for the " Overseer Overture" part. What do ya'll think of the MFSL APP CD? Welcome to the Forum AntcuFaalb
You have a few like minded APP fans here and it is interesting times in Tull land what with all the remixes and concerts.
Hope you enjoy the threads.
Cheers

What do ya'll think of the MFSL APP CD? Yes, you're in good company here on The Jethro Tull Forum. There's many of us that give APP top marks including me.

I have not yet purchased any of the Steven Wilson remixes of Tull material--except for a single mp3 file from amazon--not because I'm not interested, but I don't really feel I need it.
That being said, from hearing bits of his work before, I will be inclined to get my hands on the upcoming Passion Play release. That is the Tull album I regularly come back to more than the others I notice.

beatingupthevicar.wordpress.com/2013/07/08/jethro-tull-a-passion-play/Jethro Tull – A Passion PlayPosted on July 8, 2013This past weekend, Jethro Tull’s “A Passion Play” album turned 40 years of age. The album was originally released in the UK on July 6th, 1973 and it happens to be my favorite album of all time. And that my friends will be the topic of discussion this morning.
The year 1973 was such a landmark in the music industry for so many reasons that it would take me many pages to explain why. Last year I once toyed with the idea of writing about the year in music that 1973 was and to try and get interviews with all of the major players but that was just wishful thinking. There’s no way in hell that musicians would grant little ol’ me interview time for such a subject, so that notion was quickly forgotten and cast aside to the scrap heap of grand concepts that I’ll never chase.
To put it into perspective, in 1973…all of these albums were released: Pink Floyd – The Dark Side Of The Moon, Yes – Tales From Topographic Oceans, Emerson Lake & Palmer - Brain Salad Surgery, Elton John – Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, The Rolling Stones – Goat’s Head Soup, The Who – Quadrophenia, Led Zeppelin – Houses Of The Holy, Mike Oldfield – Tubular Bells, the debut album by Queen, The Allman Brothers Band – Brothers & Sisters, Genesis – Selling England By The Pound, Bruce Springsteen & The E-Street Band – Greetings From Asbury Park, The Stooges – Raw Power, King Crimson – Larks’ Tongues In Aspic, David Bowie – Aladdin Sane….and the list goes on and on and on.More here link including one of JHH's paintings and a few photos.

It would seem the reviewers of that era didn't know what they had, but I suppose perspective is something one only gains in hindsight -- and some folk still can't comprehend the mind-bogglingly great music during that period. One could easily list a comparable series of albums from 1972, 74 or 75 and still provide an amazing and unbeatable group of all-time greats. Say what you will, but rock music reached its pinnacle at that point, and critics from Rolling Stone and that other twat Christgau completely missed the f**king boat.

Say what you will, but rock music reached its pinnacle at that point, and critics from Rolling Stone and that other twat Christgau completely missed the f**king boat. It was certainly a fantastic era for music - thought provoking with musicians at a peak of their writing and also given the time to explore and record what they were attempting to achieve. So many on the above list I still play on a regular basis especially DSoTM, Tubular Bells, Yellow Brick Road, Queen etc along with APP (naturally ). The baby boomers have a lot to answer for but mainly music, changing attitudes to society and all that was good about the fabled "hippy" era. One thing's for certain, all this great music, and more, will still be played in a hundred year's time when most, but not all, of the music recorded now will have been consigned to the dusty drawers of oblivion.

I have a dusty drawer of oblivion. It contains lamentable single socks that lost their mates to the dryer goblin. Uncanny how many socks I've lost to that beastie.

I see you've got Single Sock Syndrome or SSS. Seems to afflict most males in the Western Hemisphere but I can't vouch for those in the Southern. A good tip - only buy black socks, and in bulk*, then you don't have an SSS problem. *At least 10 pairs

It's funny how in the politicaly correct and oh so sensitive environment of mental health, where i work, everyone is understanding and accustomed to all sorts of oddities....pierced spleens, tatooed faces, twice transgendered, multi-ethnic vehement self identifiers as victims of whatever. same sex mariage, all sex marriage, animal marriage,,,whatever, whatever...you get the point...but if I wear mismatched socks to work, as i often do, the chorus of gasps and 'that just isn't done' and 'oh my how unprofessional' is like a tidal wave of disapproval.

I am new to the forum. I, like many here, are very much looking forward to the remixed A Passion Play. I have recently acquired the Benefit and TAAB remixes, which sound excellent. But the epic peak of Tull is APP. Their most complex, dissonant, dark and impenetrable album, but that is part of the charm. And to have the complete Chateau D'Isastre tapes as well, wow. I do not currently have a 5.1 system, but am tempted to get to hear these mixes (also movies I guess). Anyway, pre-ordered AAP 'extended performance' from Amazon. And patiently waiting...

I trust you've have had a good look around the place and look forward to reading more of your posts.

It's good to have another Jethro Tull/APP fan here. I hope you have a 5.1 system in place before your remix arrives.

I count the hours you count the days together, we count the minutes in this Passion Play.
This release is my most anticipated for years ( both TAAB 2 and HE were new so always that element of 'I hope its good, has he still got it etc - which contrary to a few he still has ( don't bite )
APP is going to sound even more f**king amazing - I just know it is, can't wait.............no really can't.

Nice to find a place where the significance of APP is a given, or at least need not be explained nor defended. I understand that the flute that Ian added after the fact to the Chateau tracks for the Nightcap release will not be included in the new mixes. I agree with this decision, as I would rather hear the pure tracks from 1972/73 without embellishment.

I also read that Ian was wanting the mix of APP to be less dense in the sense of less crowded. I hope that this does not result in a dumbing down or simplifying in any way. I trust that Steven Wilson will do a remix equal to the brilliance of his previous work with the Tull catalog. I hear War Child is next up. How cool is that..

Going by Tootull's review/comments I don't think we're going to be disappointed and in for a great surprise.
