Huh. With the exception of some of the bonus tracks, Tull's Broadsword and the Beast is a lot more electronic than I remember it being. It's just as creepy as I recall, though.

Retail therapy: i went out to the local Tower's whole-chain-going-out-of-business-sale and got six albums I had on vinyl or cassette. Three Jethro Tull albums, three Rush. I am still a slut for progrock. Even if I'm ever more likely to giggle at the melodramatic pomposity of the stuff.

Pick up Solefald's In Harmonium Universali if you're into berzerko prog-rock. That record is like being trapped inside of a gothic pinball machine.

Well, it is the album between A and Under Wraps, the latter being heavy on the synth, and the former being quite electronic as well. :-)

Like Jethro Tull do ya? Ha! You and my DAD both. . . Ok, I like them too and may at one point have aspired to play rock flute.

Are you implying that she is… chronoloically advanced? Scandalous.

Oh, I forgot to make a comment about music.

I personally listen to music that I think is fun to listen to. I don't really care what genre it is, although I guess I show preference for heavy electronic and symphonic elements (and combinations thereof). KMFDM may have a lot of political music that's right up my alley, but really, who needs that? I've recently been widging the shit out of their cover versions of These Boots Are Made For Walkin' and Mysterious Ways, and a couple of the other, quirkier songs. I also have a lot of fun with the likes of Eisbrecher, Boards of Canada, Nightwish, and a ton of video game soundtracks, classical music… et cetera.

Ever since I learned not to take music so seriously, it has opened up a lot of fun stuff for me. But really, what am I on about now? Who knows!

Some of B&B is way too "We got a Korg and we're not afraid to use it!"

Other parts didn't grow on me until later, such as "Flying Colors" and "The Clasp".

It's from a narrow era where prog-rock was getting chopped into 3 to 5 minute songs for radio play, when ABWH and Townshend could actually get airplay, before Spin Doctors and Nirvana gave us "grunge", then ClearChannel moved in and co-opted all media.

Of course, who listens to radio anymore? (http://www.pandora.com)

Interesting. I hadnt heard Tower Records went under. This week Kay's Merchandise's whole chain went under as well. Service and Jewelry, they had alot of my sisters diamonds bonded(insured). Their electronics were the first carried out enmasse...
