Here is a review in the Independent:

 

The concept album makes surprise top ten return with neolithic opus from Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson - News - Music - The Independent

 

I took the gamble, and it paid off. Excellent, so far. If you like flute and Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull), you will probably appreciate it.

 

Looks like the real thing, too:

Appreciate it, I was curious about this.

Always happy to help.

 

However, Anderson, elevated to Prog God Award by Prog Magazine last year, has retired the Jethro Tull name. The 18th-century British agronomist who invented the machine drill for sowing seed for commercial gain deserved better, the musician believes. “We didn’t know our booking agent named us after a dead guy. I didn’t do Jethro Tull in O-level history. We couldn’t change the name after we started having some success.”

 

He admits: “I’ve always felt a bit of embarrassment about the name and now it’s time to take a step back. When I tour this album I don’t want 20 drunk yobbos jeering because we’re not just doing their 20 favourite Tull songs: ‘Stay at home, watch the baseball game but this time don’t go to the concert.’”

 

I remember my frosh. high school history teacher's incredulous comment about "some rock band" being named after Jethro Tull. (ca. 1977).

 

Since when do yobbos watch baseball?

Looks like the real thing, too:

 

Sounds like the real thing too, only - modern and clean and not at all like Stormwatch. I like it, but Karen prefers the older stuff.
