Heart of the Matter
4 stars A really nice instrumental coupling taken from "Stormwatch" (twelfth studio album by Jethro Tull) is what we have here, feeding the strictly-prog wolf every one of us carries within. It must be said also that, even when that album has a reputation for its being concerned with the environmental disaster caused by oil exploitation in the North Sea, nothing of that is reflected on this single.

On the A side, called "Warm Sporran", an amazing rhytmic counterpoint sets the frame and the pace for a nice and, in its bare essence, very simple and uplifting tune .

On the flip, the graceful "Elegy" awaits, with Martin Barre's uncanny taste for melody on acoustic & electric guitars masterfully interweaven with Ian's flute in an exquisite baroque crescendo.

Heart of the Matter | 4/5 |
