Stand Up still stands up!
Too bad it's not a movie -- they could quote me in the ads.

Early Tull was absolutly excellent. 30 some years later and it still gets put in the cd player often.
And Miles Davis and Tull in the same set, way cool!

One of the "great" albums from the 60s, I never get tired of it. "This Was" is another great Tull album.

It sounds like he's trying to channel Hendrix.

I dont know much about syncopation, but if it means that Tull kicks ass I whole heartedly agree...A little "Skating Away" would also be a good tune to play from time to time...  |

I like Tull's syncopated rhythms.

The masters are always in order. And I love the trademark Tull flute, along with the pulsing drums. The only time you don't hear flute is on the song "Aqualung" itself. Great use of stop time--in fact, great use of time in general in the song.

As usual, I could do without the annoying flute..... and Animal on the drums, but the bass line in this song is fantastic. Oh, the ending was WAY over the top......

Maybe the song as a whole, but at least song outtro's, like this one has, are more or less a thing of the past. Every rockband used them in at least one song, especially during live concerts. Still fun though.

After all these years, what always catches my ear and just rocks me is that drum riff Clive Bunker pulls off at the end of this song.To this day I can't figure out the timing to that one, any drummers out there?

Sometimes I think DJ's are tuned into our collective unconscious, for today of all days - is not easy: will I finish my thesis? will I get a job? will we be able to pay October's mortgage? And as with most songs Tull, they have a way of making me feel a little better, bringing me out of Greg Brown's Just a Bum from an hour or so ago.

Try "Thick as a Brick" The signature changes and recurring themes remind one of classical music fare. Don't knock it if you don't understand it. This music is not and never was POP. It's Electric Folk ala the Fairport Convention and Steeleye Span types. If you don't know those 2 names then do the research and listening and broaden your musical tastes and horizons

Beeeeautiful segue from Vusi Mahlasela and HIS airy flute. I was just about to check if that was Ian playing on there when the transition happened. That's quality radio for ya!

way too much Tull...I've heard enough breathy flute playing to last me awhile.

hmm...don't get this...i can't stand seger, but i love my early tull.
jeez, what's not to like? the first three tull albums just ooze of groovy bitchenness!
this is deliciously catchy, bluesy psychedelic 60's music!
bob seger? that comparision is just way too weird. it's like comparing beethoven with eminem.
or something.
no comprendo. |
