Fascinating interview - http://youtu.be/aBLh-RkbpUc

[CRAZY-HORSE]

Just heard the new Mike Oldfield 'Man on the Rocks' album. Not impressed - found it all very predictable. In a word - boring. The first MO album I will not be buying. Have everything else by him but this is just not up to par at all. Pity.

i feel for you Jerome....
its just so sad when youre a big fan of an artist and they release sub-par material.

ive had that problem lately when i didnt get Fogerty, Springsteen or Eminem's latest sets...

and Paul Weller,Nick Cave and McCartney's next albums will have to be listened to prior to purchasing them.

Elvis Costello and Neil Finn's latest were ok, but theyre heading that way also.

1 Grammy win in 1988 for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance

from my library (cd)



Their 19th album, #114 US, #20 UK
Singles - none

Probably my least favorite Tull album with only one track I love. But after 19 albums I can live with that. Original bassist Dave Pegg only
shows up on 3 tracks here, replaced by session player Steve Bailey.Dave left the band wanting to put more time into Fairport Convention, and not
happy with the world music direction he thought the band was taking. This is also the first album to list keyboardist Andrew Giddings as a band
member. Not sure if those changes had anything to do with my decline in favor of the bands work. Can't say there is a radical change in the
sound. Flute still plays a dominant part in most tracks, which is what drew me to them in the first place. Just time to move on I guess.
Surprised at the lack of recognition this band has received by the powers that be. They did win that 1988 Grammy for Best Hard Rock/Metal
performance which most considered a fluke, but not being in the R&R Hall Of Fame is a mystery.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Wounded, Old And Treacherous

Best Track - At Last, Forever

Harmonia & Eno '76 - Tracks and Traces - very laid back electronica amongst other found sounds.

[Jerome]

A great version of an old classic - http://youtu.be/rw5j4j8t7JY

[CRAZY-HORSE]

back to Jethro Tull...
just heard your favourite track...i like it, again,like you...i love the flute playing it really defines their sound.

[Jerome]

Hope Sandoval & the Warm Inventions - Through the Devil Softly - laid back Sunday morning music. Going down very well at the moment - just what I needed.

[Jerome]

And continuing in laid-back mode next up is Neil Young's 'Harvest Moon' - love this album.

[Jerome]

Picking up the pace a little - Steve Hackett's Guitar Noir - perfection as always.
