Jethro Tull is gonna be in Bangalore.The name sounds more like "Jet Throttle"....
They'll play at the IIMB campus.Tickets at 600/=.
Btw, "Jethro Tull" was a great agriculturist who revolutionized agriculture in Old Victorian England.
A very good band......A maverick frontman with a flute....
This band sufferes from over-productivity.By the time the listeners can appreciate one album of theirs, there are three more albums in the market.Something like Steven Spielberg.....Keep on giving us great movies and experimenting like hell....Scifi , History , Humanitarian , Contemporary , Comedy....
However, I admit the BEST features of any 60s and 70s bands was the sound. The sound was because of touring non-stop and recording TOGETHER. The cameraderie is HEARD when they play together. The sound is so human.
Nowadays there are even playback concerts.....Bah! At the Indian movie scene, Why cant Hindi movies try a orchestrated band sound ? English, Hindi songs , Kannada songs and Tamil songs today are so artificial.....If you have heard Sonu Nigam's "Main Hoon Na" or Shankar Mahadevan's "Breathless" , you damn well know that they are BORINGLY perfect.Each person does his bit and later everything is mixed. Ofcourse you can get the best of everybody, but the "feel" of "joint effort" and simplicity is lost.....We need a change in the sound. Try a joint recording after a lot of practice sessions with all the musicians.....And more importantly keep the MUSIC simple and keep a very few instruments and concentrate on riffs and let each instrument have a definite role and have an impact....Remember the genius of Morricone....It may actually click!
Especially the Kannada Music Director GuruKiran.Although his melodies are hummable, there are so many redundant instruments.
