Regarding the latter point, it is clearly a sing of the times that this particular album In April 2021, on the occasion of the 50th Anniversary of 1971's Aqualung, the official music video for the song, an animation directed by Iranian animator/director Sam Chegini, was premiered on Rolling Stone. Anderson said Chegini had created "a unique rendition of the 'Aqualung' song with abstract and documentary-type footage." [111] On 13 July 2021 it was announced that Jethro Tull had signed with Inside Out Music for the release of The Zealot Gene in 2022. [112] [113] [114] On 17 November 2022, the band announced that they had finished recording their 23rd studio album, which was expected to be released in spring 2023.

made it happen for almost 10 years in a row) and this album was the appointed testament; also, the writing Martin Barre stated in November 2011 that there were no current plans for further Jethro Tull work, and in 2012 he put his own band together and toured as Martin Barre's New Day. The new band included former Tull bassist Jonathan Noyce and played mostly Tull material. [96] [97] In 2015, Barre said: "It's important that people realize there will never be a Jethro Tull again. There will be two solo bands, the Ian Anderson Band and the Martin Barre Band, and long may they exist, and long may they enjoy playing music." Barre said he hated to hear "Oh, you've left Jethro Tull". He said, "Ian wanted to finish Jethro Tull. [He] wanted to stop the band completely." [98] Stormwatch‘s theme and album cover seemed to be rather prophetic for the band, with the coming personnel departures and the confusing genre-bending of Jethro Tull’s near future albums in the early 1980s.but good chorus. It's a very simple song, which reminds me the military marches. But it's still very nice to hear. The

Of the three late 70s studio albums that make up this phase of Tull there’s no doubt that Stormwatch is the weakest. My personal favourite is Heavy Horses (10/10) , then Songs from the Wood (9/10). Stormwatch still scores an 8/10 .DVD 2: 13 associated recordings mixed to 5.1 DTS, AC3 Dolby Digital, 15 associated recordings mixed to 94/24 LPCM Stereo and 5 original mixes at 94/24 LPCM Stereo No. with a beautiful theme, gorgeous lush arrangements with the addition of MARTIN BARRE placing the nice sounding notes where Jethro Tull Biography".

When I did finally start seeing cheap(er) copies of the book bound Jethro Tull reissues, Stormwatch was one that I prioritised getting hold of, partly because I felt it as one of the best sounding Tull albums in terms of sound design, partly because I've never felt it got enough love from either bands or fans, and therefore I was interested in what Steven Wilson could do with it, but many because of all of Tull's albums, Stormwatch is the one that has taken me on the most positive journey. On 29 January 1970, Jethro Tull appeared again on BBC's Top of the Pops, performing "Witch's Promise". [54] [55] Evan rejoined the band in early 1970: he had stayed in London, sharing a flat with Anderson, after the John Evan Band broke up, and was studying music at the University of London. He was initially reluctant to rejoin the band because of his studies, which gave him access to a free studio, [56] but he had played as a session musician on Tull's next album, Benefit (1970), and when Anderson needed someone to play the keyboard parts on tour, his tutor persuaded him that rejoining would be a good idea. [57] The album reached No. 4 in the UK and No. 11 in the US [58] and the group sold out 20,000-seat arenas, establishing themselves as a premier live act. [59] In August they played to one of their largest audiences at the 1970 Isle of Wight festival. [60]

The consistency and wholesale energy of Songs from the Wood is not quite here in its form. However, As the dawn sun breaks over sleepy gardens, I’ll be here to do all things to comfort you / And though I’ve been away, left you alone this way, why don’t you come awake and let your first smile take me home…” STORMWATCH is one of them.I am very fond of this album, found the songwriting top notch, the whole record highly enjoyable Given some of Ian Anderson’s remarks when interviewed in the post Stormwatch era, it’s clear that he was deliberately trying to simplify the Tull sound on this album; to bring in a little more directness, to dump some of the “musically complicated” aspects and maybe try to connect with the post-punk audience. Interestingly, when left to themselves the rest of the band made King Henry’s Madrigal, which doesn’t do any of those things. Dun Ringill is another of my favourite songs from this underrated album. It is a short acoustic song with a captivating atmosphere. I first heard it on the Slipstream video which comes as a bonus DVD disc with the A album and I liked it instantly. The album ends with another instrumental in Elegy. Its melody reminds of Home and thus ties the album together perfectly. The style of the piece reminds a bit of the band Focus.The most important part of any music is for me the quality of the actual material and Stormwatch offers some really strong compositions that are up to par with those on Aqualung and Heavy Horses. North Sea Oil and Orion have strong and memorable melodies that grab a hold of you from the start. Apart from being darker in their lyrical content and quite heavy and hard edged, these two are quite typical high quality Jethro Tull songs. Home, on the other hand, is a very symphonic and somewhat bombastic ballad that is very uncharacteristic of Jethro Tull. It contributes to making this album more varied and diverse than many other Jethro Tull albums. The diversity is indeed one of Stormwatch's strongest features. feel a bit uncomfortable with the notion of Anderson & co. holding on to ideas and frameworks that are
