I have heard something of the sort in the past year. A shame really, but understandable since the best material is decades in the past. This way, Mr. Anderson can pursue his music purely in his own way without having to answer to any formula or expectations for a specific sound. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

Ian Anderson, who often makes fun of the prog label, is now embracing it: http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/the-concept-album-makes-surprise-top-ten-return-with-neolithic-opus-from-jethro-tulls-ian-anderson-9268339.html" rel="nofollow - http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/the-concept-album-makes-surprise-top-ten-return-with-neolithic-opus-from-jethro-tulls-ian-anderson-9268339.html Anderson, rock’s most famous flautist, said the concept album, out of favour in an era where music fans build digital playlists from context-free single tracks, is on the way back. “If you want to cram 8,400 years of history into 50 minutes of music only the progressive rock album can do that,” Anderson told The Independent. “No-one had written a song about Dogger. So I fleshed out bullet-points of song scenarios into the archetypal, OTT concept of a prog rock album.” But he also can't resist another dig: He said: “Concept albums went out of fashion in the mid-70s but progressive
music is gathering a lot of strength again. Prog’s bombastic, self-indulgent
musical noodlings got a lot of people annoyed. It took punk to wash the system
clean and make a fresh start.” I bought the album yesterday, and on first listen, I am impressed. ------------- Trust me. I know what I'm doing. |

| I like the latest album so this 'news' isn't really too much of a concern to me (plus I was never a mad JT fan anyway) |

His recent solo stuff is pretty similar to late period JT anyway. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

| I watched the bonus DVD last night and it seems clear that he wants to avoid working with the same people all the time plus he obviously likes complete creative control which is understandable. |
