Jethro Tull – Rökflöte (2023) [blu Ray Audio)

RökFlöte - Jethro Tull - The name of the album comes from "Rock Flute" as the original idea was to make an album of mostly instrumental flute music. But eventually Ian Anderson stated that he was drawn to the phrase Ragnarök with "rök" meaning destiny, course, or direction. Ian Anderson would then change "Flute" to "Flöte" to "keep with the spelling". Ian Anderson - flute, vocals / David Goodier - bass / John O'Hara - Piano, Keyboard, Hammond Organ / Scott Hammond - drums / Joe Parrish-James - guitar.

Crank up the magna opus that is "Paranoid," the rockin’ sophomore creation by the venerable English heavy metal maestros, Black Sabbath. Like a radiant celestial event, this masterpiece graced the auditory realms in the bountiful September of 1970, storming in with its melodious presence through the esteemed conduits of Vertigo Records in the enchanting lands of England, and Warner Bros. Records in the large expanse of the United States.

RökFlöte is the 23rd studio album by the British progressive rock band Jethro Tull, released on 21 April 2023. It is a follow-up to The Zealot Gene (2022). This is the shortest gap between Jethro Tull studio albums since 1980.

7th March 2023 marked the 40th anniversary of the release of one of the all-time great debut albums, The Hurting by Tears for Fears featuring the hit singles ‘Mad World’, ‘Change’ and ‘Pale Shelter’. I have remixed the album for the occasion in Dolby Atmos, 5.1 surround and instrumental stereo, all fully approved by Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith. The Dolby Atmos mix is available for streaming on supported platforms, but the 5.1 and instrumental stereo mixes are included (along with the Atmos mix) on a standalone blu-ray audio disc issued by Virgin/UMR and exclusively for sale via Super Deluxe Edition. The blu-ray additionally features the original stereo master. As if that wasn’t enough my stereo mixes of two recently rediscovered earlier recordings of ‘Mad World’ & ‘Watch Me Bleed’ made at sessions with producer Mike Howlett prior to the album versions will also be exclusive to the blu-ray. These tracks were found on the multitrack reels, possibly having never been mixed before. Even Roland and Curt had not heard them for 40 years!
