Our Take

Jethro Tull's classic album "A" gets a fresh lick of paint from the masterful hands of Steven Wilson in this new remix. Wilson, known for his work with bands like Porcupine Tree and Opeth, brings his signature touch to the iconic progressive rock record.

From the moment the needle hits the groove, it's clear that Wilson has breathed new life into these timeless tracks. The layers of instrumentation are crisp and clear, with every flute trill and guitar riff popping out of the speakers with renewed vitality.

Wilson's remix doesn't just enhance the sound quality; it also brings a new perspective to these familiar songs. Tracks like "Cross Eyed Mary" and "Aqualung" take on a fresh intensity, while more tender moments like "Wond'ring Aloud" shine with a newfound intimacy.

For fans of the original album, this remix is a must-listen. It's a celebration of Jethro Tull's enduring legacy, brought into the 21st century with a modern twist. And for those new to the band, this remix serves as the perfect introduction to their unique blend of folk, rock, and prog.

In short, Jethro Tull's "A" (Steven Wilson Remix) is a triumph. It's a testament to the timelessness of great music and the power of a skilled remix artist to breathe new life into classic records. Don't sleep on this one, folks. It's a winner.

About the artist

Jethro Tull

JETHRO TULL: The Flute-Wielding Wizard of Prog-Rock If you ask any music aficionado to name a band with a flautist as their frontman, chances are the first name that pops into their head is Jethro Tull. Led by the enigmatic Ian Anderson, Jethro Tull has been pushing the boundaries of rock music since the late 1960s, infusing their sound with folk, blues, and a healthy dose of whimsical storytelling. Anderson himself is a true musical polymath, effortlessly switching between flute solos that will make your jaw drop and vocals that can range from a gentle whisper to a full-on rock scream. And let's not forget his signature move of standing on one leg while playing the flute - a feat that has left many a fan scratching their heads in wonder. But it's not just Anderson's musical prowess that makes Jethro Tull stand out. Their albums are a masterclass in storytelling, with concept albums like "Thick as a Brick" and "Aqualung" taking listeners on a journey through surreal worlds and thought-provoking narratives. And let's not forget their epic live performances, complete with elaborate stage setups and Anderson's iconic stage presence. So, whether you're a die-hard prog-rock fan or just someone looking to expand their musical horizons, Jethro Tull is a band that should be on your radar. With their unmatched musicianship, whimsical storytelling, and one-legged flute-playing frontman, Jethro Tull is a force to be reckoned with in the world of rock music.
