4.0 out of 5 stars DVD 'A' Saviour, 13 May 2004
By Oymaprat (Nowhere In Particular) - See all my reviews
Jethro Tull released the album initially intended to be an Ian Anderson solo project in the early eighties. I must say it is my least faviourite album with not one song that really grabs you. Also, as much as I admire Eddie Jobson's talents, I can't help but feel that I resent him for taking the great John Evan's place in the band. This is also true for Barrie Barlow. This absense is especially noticable on the DVD. Which brings me to the highlight of the buy.
The DVD is Slipstream, the half concert half vidio extravaganza that was shown during the same time as 'A' was released, and is of high quality and makes the album worth getting. It is, as mentioned in over reviews, worth buying by itself let alone free! Three cheers for Mr Anderson I say. What a bargain. It makes this album go from a one star to a four star in my opinion. If you don't own this then I strongly suggest you get it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing value for money!, 19 Mar 2004
By Daniel Ratner (Cambridge) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Back in 1980 very few people owned video recorders therefore there were really no music videos. I remember 2-Blondie and Gary Numan and then came along Jethro Tull's Slipstream. I loved this one plus the L.P. "A" because they sounded and looked saw up to date as compared with Heavy Horses and Stormwatch where they looked so old! Eddie Jobson gave them the early 80s sound (Ultravox,Numan etc) which Ian continue to use especially on "Under Wraps" 4 years latter. The video showed Ian should have tried some acting as well especially in the nos. "Sweet Dreams" and "Too old...."-also very funny! Since dvds started all Tull fans have been waiting for this video to be transfered to dvd and prepared to pay 12-15 quid for it - BUT wait we're getting it for free! Thanks Ian - amazing value!

5.0 out of 5 stars Underrated Gem, 18 Jun 2004
This was the second Jethro Tull I bought after Broadsword many moons ago. I honestly think the first 4 tracks are as good as anything Jethro Tull have done. Eddie Jobson is a cracking keyboard player, particularly on the piano and he really lights up this album. Considering this was mostly a new band this is a really tight group; just listen to the musicianship on "The Pinemarten's Jig". It's just as good as the previous JT line-up. The second half of the CD does suffer from slightly weaker song-writing but there's still plenty of fun to be had from the likes of "4WD". As far as the concept goes I thought there was a very strong cry against modern (early 1980s) society running through these songs. At the time there was a very materialistic society being created by the government and commuting and working long hours (if you could get work) was taking over people's lives. Hence "Working John" and "Black Sunday" rally against working yourself to the bone, "4WD" and "Batteries not Included" were really about greed, and Fylingdale Flyer and Protect & Survive ridiculed our defences against the ever-present nuclear threat. Overall these are songs about middle-class suburbia in the early 1980s and very good ones too!

1.0 out of 5 stars Tull goes Electronica? No thanks...
If I wanted to buy 80s electronica (which I don't) then I wouldn't choose Tull. This (and the awful 'Under Wraps') nearly put me off Tull for life. Read more
