RAINBOW BLUES!
Great track. Of the bonus tracks of that era, together with Goog Godmother and Tomorrow was today shows a great Tull.
| Not crazy about tomorrow. I love glory row though. I like tulls use of sax and accordion from 74

All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

The Chateau D'Isaster Tapes ave absolutely nothing to do with War Child... in concept meanings. I didnt get your point.

From what I remember, the D'Istaster thing and the War child (project than the remaining album) are not only consecutive, but linked aren't they? Both from 73 (the latter release in 74)

Yes, D'Istaster was the ill-fated first try at War Child material that didn't come off well for reasons that are unknown to me. It is considered a work of genius in France. |
The Chateau D'Isaster sessions were the first try of A Passion Play, not War Child. As GKR notes, "Only Solitaire" and "Skating Away" were not released on A Passion Play and so ended up on War Child (although with the Steven Wilson remix of APP, they both appear on their rightful album). Another song from War Child, "Two Fingers" was a rework of a song called "Lick Your Fingers Clean" written during the Aqualung sessions. War Child was released in a rush when the original movie/play concept was abandoned, and thus was very disjointed and incomplete, so various songs from different sessions were thrown together. Tull's next release Minstrel in the Gallery is far better and more consistent.

Just an over site on my part, guys. I had the bootleg copy of the D'Isaster tapes 25 years ago and I know it contained both ill-fated material from APP and WC. Old age is a bitch, sometimes. |
Same as SteveG, my bad ... but for different reasons: Distaster tracks , like APP's and WC's songs don't tickle my left ball, so the right one won't jiggle/jangle as well.

There's something about the sound of WC - it never jumps out and grabs me. The albums passes and I can't recall a highlight though no tracks are all that bad. Maybe it was the format or my love of the edge of the early stuff.....Benefit, to a lesser extent, also has the same feel. It's parts are better than the whole.

I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

WarChild. Buy the 40th anniversary theatre edition.
It contains a range of music that sees Ian and the boys at their musical peak.
Takes me back to when I was 16...........
Oh my hometown Melbourne is on the front cover.
Too many good memories.

Excellent album. I'm surprised the ratings here a bit low, for me this still sounds very good! 4 stars!
