Jethro Tull: Under Wraps (The Unwrapped Edition)

Under Wraps threw Jethro Tull fans a curveball on release with its embrace of the electronic sounds of the day and synthetic production. It was also the first Tull album since This Was that wasn’t mostly written by Anderson alone, with keyboardist Peter-John Vettese credited on seven of the songs. But for fans who’d heard Anderson’s first solo album, Walk Into Light (which featured five Vettese co-writes), the synth textures of Under Wraps felt like a natural progression. Meanwhile, Ian Anderson’s lyrics reflected his fascination with Cold war spy novels, rooting the songs firmly in the early ’80s. Under Wraps and Walk Into Light have been revamped for the new edition, with two sets of stereo remixes by Bruce Soord that use more natural, traditional ‘2026’ drums and the original drum sounds

Jethro Tull: Living With The Past
8.6

A veritable feast awaits fans of Ian Anderson's Jethro Tull on this elaborate DVD package, which boasts extensive concert footage and a load of extras. The focal point is nearly two hours of performances, filmed in late 2001 (primarily in London, with additional material from several other locations) and featuring material from the band's entire lengthy career, including such staples as "Aqualung" and "Bouree." The current Tull incarnation (featuring, as always, Anderson on vocals, flute, and sundry other instruments) takes center stage; there are also a couple of numbers with a string quartet, and even a small-club reunion of the lineup that made the group's very first album back in 1968. Interviews with band members, testimonials from rabid fans, photos, and even an option for viewing a Tull performance from three different audience points of view are among the generous helping of extra features.

Participation

This period compilation of documentaries shot with a Portapak camera from the early era of video experimentation offers an immediate view of the independent New York art scene (concerts and theater perfomances on the streets and in the clubs of downtown). It is a sort of summary of Steina and Woody Vasulka's first creative period, a period of fascination with the more bizarre aspects of "new American decadence". Thanks to the video camera and its revolutionary implications, the creators were able to penetrate into spheres where the documentarians of more classical media were neither allowed nor interested to enter, thereby helping to expand the ideas of documentary possibilities. Steina has remarked that she learned the craft of camerawork as documentarian thanks to these celebratory, countercultural scenes of the "sexual avant-garde"-- Participation also features a pulsing light show projection at the Fillmore East, and a scene from Off-Broadway drag theater.

Jethro Tull  Their Fully Authorized  Story
5.6

Fourth in the classic artists series: Jethro Tull, from being one of the hottest blues-rock bands of the late 60s to touring with Led Zep, to holding the record for the number of consecutive nights at the la forum, to the first live concert broadcast worldwide, to nearly bringing down the grammys, the life and times of legendary, indefinable rock band Jethro Tull has rarely been dull. Forty years, 2000 gigs, 19 albums, 25 members, 20 million sales & a sex change since a ramshackle group of spotty youths armed with nothing but a bunch of great tunes & a flute launched themselves onto an unsuspecting public at the marquee club in 1968, the key players in their long & illustrious history give for the first time, their side of a complex & intriguing story.
