I'm really glad that Bruce Soord was mixing this and not Steven Wilson, who shut down the few daring ideas that Ian Anderson was willing to suggest on albums like A Passion Play,
There's always the risk that whatever they did to the drum machine sounds would end up making it sound more like a conventional Tull album. Nope, it sounds like Under Wraps, but better.

The Under Wraps "book set" is here and boy is it showing the writers at UltimateClassicRock and the likes to be cloth-eared dullards. "Didn't have the songs", "Guitarist nowhere to be heard", my ass. This album is just banger after banger.

The new mix is a big improvement, staying in the spirit of the original version while adding back some bottom end, clarity and a better balance. MIDI-fying and then re-skinning the original drum parts was a bold move.

Meanwhile in Jethro Tull-land, tracks from a show in Berlin during the Under Wraps tour have been posted on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeVVPJRFgUTOC64kBTKAS6EXiD1O9cP0u

Could this mean it's finally happening?
