HEAVY HORSES (NEW SHOES EDITION)

A fine album made even better. The sound is excellent. Moths, Rover, Acres, Mouse police, Brown mouse are gems. I like the title track more now too. There's an extra heaviness too it on this set. The living in these hard times tracks are fine sounding extras. Also the Botanic tracks are quite good too. The extra studio material on all of these sets have been mainly excellent. This set has been the only one of the first 13 sets that has a couple of unfinished sounding extras. Everything in our lives and Horse Hoeing could have done with a bit more remixing and a couple more notes filling in some empty moments. While good to hear I'd rate these 2 down near the bottom of Tulls giant list of non album tracks. I quite like Beltane and Quattrain and I think Wilson could have touched up the drums a bit more on the former and removed the vocal bit from the latter to give them a more finished edge. Overall this set is 5 star although I wouldn't have included everything in our lives and Horse hoeing. It's a couple too many incomplete products on top of Quattrain and Beltane(which are worth having on the set)
