![]() An homage to our feline friends for 'Mouse Police' with beautiful organ tones from John Evan (or is it David Palmer's portative organ?) and Baroque lines from Ian's fife. The ribald 'Acres Wild' is the British countryside with a bit of a jig, 'No Lullaby' starts as tender reassurance from parent to child but becomes a thrilling toss from the nest into the dark night, and 'Moths' is a deeper contemplation of the natural world and man's spiritual connection to it. Sweet Celtic atmosphere and trademark Tull harmonics keep coming on 'Journeyman', the fantastic rocker 'Rover' sparks alive with Ian's acoustic strings, stuttering flutes and Martin Barre's pristine self-harmonies, and the dear 'One Brown Mouse'. The brilliant title track is an extraordinarily moving tribute to animals and 'Weathercock' is wistful rumination. An absolutely marvelous album without a weak moment to be heard... indispensable.
