www.bravewords.com/news/219887TILES Announce JETHRO TULL's Ian Anderson As Special Guest On New AlbumPosted on Monday, March 24, 2014 at 04:03:27 EST Detroit-based prog-rockers TILES have announced JETHRO TULL frontman Ian Anderson will make a special guest appearance on their upcoming album, Other Arrangements. Guitarist Chris Herin reports: "Ian has been a Tiles fan since way back in 1999 when we released Presents Of Mind. Over the years we floated the idea of him making a guest appearance and eventually the timing was right. He was just finishing up mixing his new solo album Homo Erraticus and had a window of opportunity before he dove into tour rehearsals and promotional stuff. We sent Ian a moody atmospheric tune and he wove some cool melodies in between vocal phrases; then cuts loose with his trademark flute improvising during the song’s long rideout solo. I think I listened to it twenty times to make sure it really happened – what a thrill for us and what a generous gesture from an icon of progressive rock!" Other Arrangements is being produced by Terry Brown (RUSH, FATES WARNING) and is scheduled for an early-2015 release. Visit Tiles-Music.com for more information. ![]()

I see Ian is also on this Back Against The Wall (A Tribute To Pink Floyd) along with other prog luminaries. Quite a line up of participants. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_Against_the_WallI hadn't realised it was released back in 2005. It would be very interesting to know what die hard Pink Floyd fans thought of it.  |

Track 2 "The Thin Ice (2:29)" (feat. Ian Anderson, Tony Levin, Gary Green, Jay Schellen & Billy Sherwood). How appropriate is that?

It would be very interesting to know what die hard Pink Floyd fans thought of it. Going back to a thread from 2005 - I can't believe my own words ? =  boom! boom! bang! bang! I nominate this for the best depth ever in a stereo recording! - Listening all the way through for the second time,- (many repeated listens of the Anderson tracks) I am a HUGE Roger Waters fan-ego and all! deflate ego time! :laugh: This recording/performance surpasses the original Wall! IMHO! sticking neck firmly out! forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/back-against-the-wall.58908/ Ear bleeders get out the cotton :laugh: This thing intentionally? clips, booms, bangs ,-everything the Steve Hoffman Forum is against :laugh: But it is a beauty to me! That's all Ian Anderson's vocals/ (according to the info I researched) on 'The Thin Ice' WOW no vocal problems here again WOW Ian also plays flute on 'Is There Anybody Out There?' (smooth cool)This is a performance winner! I'm amazed! The recording is maxed out on parts-(man am I gonna hear about this one) I like this recording-depth in stereo is what? WOW! boom boom! that's all! |

Not a new album, but as I am an old fart, I don't get about the forums to reply in a timely manner. Okay, I've had this LP since 1987, but has anyone heard David Palmer with the London Symphony orchestra playing the music of Genesis? The album is entitled We Know What We Like: The Music Of Genesis, and features Ian on flute on the song "I Know What I Like (in my wardrobe)", and also Steve Hackett on guitar throughout. A really beautiful and reverent album, in the same way Palmer's A Classic Case was. I don't know if its still in print, but you won't be disappointed if you find it, particularly if you love old Genesis.
EDIT: Hey, the whole damn thing is on youtube!

Star-Studded 2005 Tribute to Pink Floyd's "The Wall" Reissued with Bonus Trackswww.classichitsandoldies.com/v2/2015/01/23/star-studded-2005-tribute-to-pink-floyds-the-wall-reissued-with-bonus-tracks/ In 2005, a tribute to Pink Floyd‘s 1979 concept album The Wall titled Back Against The Wall was released that featured an extraordinary lineup of rock stars, including past or current members of Yes, Styx, Toto, The Doors, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Deep Purple and more. To mark its 10th anniversary, the two-CD set was reissued this week with new artwork and several bonus tracks, while the collection also has been released on vinyl for the first time.

A digital version of the reissue also is available.

Jon Anderson, "1000 Hands" (Blue Elan Records)
Jon Anderson started making “1000 Hands” nearly 30 years ago before setting it aside. Its title alludes to the lengthy and impressive roster of musicians who appear on the album, from several of the singer’s former Yes bandmates to Chick Corea, Jean-Luc Ponty, Rick Derringer and the late Larry Coryell, among many others.
After Ringo Starr, Anderson is one of rock ‘n’ roll’s best-known endorsers of the “peace and love” ideal and there’s plenty of his advocacy here for a kinder, more reflective approach to life, relationships and the planet.
“Ramalama,” like “We Have Heaven” from Yes’ “Fragile” album, is a finely layered vocal workout with an uplifting melody. It’s followed by “First Born Leaders,” a joyous, anthemic song that pins its hopes on the upcoming generations. Both, as well as “Makes Me Happy,” could be lost tracks from the “The Lion King” or another Disney animated musical.
Anderson’s expertise with epic, multi-sectioned pieces is evident, especially on a pair of tracks exceeding the eight-minute mark.
“Activate” features IAN ANDERSON (Jethro Tull) on flute and an all-star guitar section including Coryell, Steve Morse and Pat Travers, while “1000 Hands (Come Up)” is anchored by late Yes co-founder Chris Squire (one of three bassists on the track) and drummer Billy Cobham, with magnificent contributions from Corea, Ponty, and Zap Mama.
Closer “Now and Again,” which appears in shorter variations as the first track and again midway through the album, has a characteristically celestial mood, accentuated by Steve Howe’s solo on classical guitar, and a most simple message that best sums up this fine effort from Anderson: “Love is truly all you need.”

I like the song, and nice breathy flute from Ian. On the "Yes" theme, I love Rick Wakeman's "Six Wives of Henry VIII" |

Jon Anderson's vocal abilities are, not surprisingly, not what they were 40 years ago, but neither are IA's or Robert Plant's.  I guess the vocal chords deteriorate at a faster pace than a performer's manual dexterity at playing an instrument (?), unless he or she has arthritis. YES has always been one of my favourite groups, along with TULL, ZEPPELIN, ELP, The BEATLES and GENESIS (before Steve Hackett left). |

I actually started listening to rock music in 8-TRACK , because that's the format my older brothers first collected, before switching to vinyl. (Example image below taken from internet). A few years later, I thought about joining Columbia House but I never did. I was wary because you were committed to buying a certain number of records within a fixed period of time, and I wasn't confident that they would give me an adequate selection of choices.  |

Once I got through the first subscription limit I started buying everything at record stores.
Prices were about the same in those days but 8 tracks were more FUN 8-TRACKS: The recording medium (the actual tape itself) would, of course, become stuck in the machine or unravel and- in the worst case scenario- break. So, you tried to fix it by connecting the broken sections by little slivers of scotch tape!    But, at least, 8-tracks were on a endless loop, so when an album finished, it would automatically start playing from the beginning again. I wouldn't have to get up from my bean bag chair if I wanted to listen to ABBEY ROAD again. By the early 1980s, they were all but gone but I managed to find some CAT STEVENS 8-tracks for 99 cents each. |
