 Topic: The Secret Language Of Birds...
Posted: October 03 2005 at 04:48 |
a new spring for Ian Anderson?
What do you think about the album above mentioned (2000)? and what about his latest solo Rupi's Dance (2003)?

I don't have either album so why am I contributing to your thread?! 
I'll take this chance to say that I have got Martin Barre's Exit Stage Left solo album and it's brilliant. Is Martin in the archives?

I think both albums are great. They sound fresh and full of energy (unlike early 90-s Tull albums).
Among these 2 I prefer Rupi's Dance.

Nice to see you also love these two marvellous albums!
My fav is the The Secret Language Of Birds, but I consider both great!

It's not prog but very nice.
My fav is the The Secret Language Of Birds too, because there's a good feeling end some great melody.
The two album are acoustic, with flute, guitar, mandolin, all that I like in JT "Songs from the wood" and "Heavy horses" albums.
The third solo album of the same style could be "The christmas album" of JT.

What about Divinities? I never heard this either! But I have heard a live version of "In the Grip of Stronger Stuff" on Living With The Past and it one of the best tracks on the album.

Yep. Both are very good.  Personally, I like "Rupi's Dance" a bit better though because it contains more outstanding tracks.
Favourites from The Secret Language of Birds:
* Set-Aside
* Circular Breathing
Favourites from Rupi's Dance:
* Rupi's Dance
* A Raft of Penguins
* Old Black Cat
* and the Tull track Birthday Card at Christmas

Divinities is another great solo album, a lot different!
It's a wonderful journey into classical music!! A must have!
My fav are At Their Father's Knees and In The Moneylender's Temple!!

I can add only one thing: How thick Ian Anderson's right legg must have become through all this years. Suffering for his art...

Ahhh, sorry. I didn't see your post on the day you wrote it.  Well, unfortunately, I haven't listened to "Divinities" yet. Maybe sometime in the future ...
Yeah, and I agree, "Old Black Cat" is a magic track, really beautiful, sad, mysterious and haunting. Just like many other tracks from recent Tull/Anderson recordings it's really as good as anything they composed in their most creative years IMO. The "fire" is still there ...

I was very disappointed with Divinities (lightweight pap), but Secret Language and Rupi's Dance put finally gave IA a pair of credible solo albums. Neither are anything great, IMO, but I do really like about half of each album.

Ok then; what about his: "A new spring for Ian Anderson?...what about a new right shoe?; or maybe a massage on that poor legg of his?"

What do you guys think of roots to branches?I think its the best album they`ve released in years.I think its becoming pretty overlooked,its an album thats much better than its reputation.Its all killer tracks,i would say its close to a five star album

I love all music around Ian Anderson.I think i like this ( rock,prog, metal, symphonic...) since i dyscover THICK AS A BRICK album too time ago (thanks to my big brothers) and of course I like SLOB,Rupis dance and the secret language of birds. Even" Walk into light" solo electronic album with Peter vettese collaborator.
