Product Description

CD Description
After revisiting some typically Tull motifs on 1982's BROADSWORD AND THE BEAST and releasing a solo album in 1983, Ian Anderson resurrected the Jethro Tull name in 1984 with UNDERWRAPS. He once again opted to distance himself from the Jethro Tull image of olde. Throughout the '80s Anderson gamely tried various approaches toward recasting Tull for a musicalclimate that had changed radically from the band's '70s heyday.
On UNDER WRAPS, Anderson shares songwriting credits with keyboardist Peter-John Vettesse, whose electronic textures give the record its pronounced '80s feel. Lyrically, Anderson seems to have jettisoned the past as well. On songs like "Radio Moscow" and "Paparazzi" he addresses modern concerns via topical language and bleeping keyboards. Anderson shows he still has his knack for a crisp and evocative melody on the relatively stripped-down title track and the simple, catchy "Lap of Luxury".

5.0 out of 5 stars The peak of Tull's electronic dalliances, 13 Jan 2003
By David Socha "fanofalias" (Edinburgh) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Not an album you could readily associate with 'Aqualung' or 'This Was' say, or even 'j-Tull.com' from recent times. But a cracker all the same.

Tull's other outings of this kind were more of a cross between the tradtional and the modern, where you could at least tell it was Tull. The best of those has got to be 'The Broadsword and the Beast' and the worst 'A', though 'worst' is a relative term.... This however is a fantastic shift away from all the Tull traditions into some electronic-folky genre I'm delighted not to know the name of (if indeed one exists)! It has a captivatingly bright, airy and delicate sound throughout, with acoustic and electronic instruments used together beautifully. In fact just talking about it makes me want to go and play it again.

I can recommend this to all music fans. Its one of those albums that people who hate Tull will still love. As for the Tull fans, approach with an open mind - its the best of this Tull era, but its not Tull as we know it..........
