Topic: Martin Barre...? Posted: June 18 2015 at 08:44 |

Sorry if the topic were already open, I couldnt find it.
Martin Barre doesnt fit in the ecletic or crossover cathegory? Or perhaps prog-related - as we wait for his true progressive solo offering? I mean, his three firts solo albums and specially "Stage Left" are quite progressive. He released a folk album, full of acoustic musics and now are playing some Blues and Hard Rock. I really wish to hear more opinions about it. His website: http://www.martinbarre.com/ and there is also a bit of bio on the Jethro Tull website: http://jethrotull.com/martin-barre-bio/ Solo discography: A Summer Band (1992) A Trick of Memory (1994) The Meeting (1996) Stage Left (2003) Away with Words (2013) Order of Play (2014) Compilation: Martin Barre (2012) |

Martin isn't on PA yet?!?
Maybe it's time for me to get the F out of here. |

One thing though: this is the third thread about Barre yet not a single one offers up any clips for evaluation. No links to any music. That makes it difficult.
If you are serious about your suggestion, then follow the simple guidelines I know and own a lot of Tull albums, but I have never heard any Barre solo. I suspect a lot of people on here feel the same....which is why we need some samples - preferably ones that show his progressive tendencies. |

You're absolutely right. I'am sorry. Here what I found in youtube (Martin doesnt have any bandcamp or soundcloud, appearently). From A trick of memory (1994) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4THiItMvto4&list=PLB6C9D85B39535CA1 (its a live version, it seems to be recent). From The Meeting (1998): - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTkSjx6nhE4 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amlLmUN1Cig From Stage Left (2003): - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vr63_ODKNPE - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0l4r0_IpwEA From Away with words (2013): - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkYBlFPWf-0 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JahIQS1B-MA - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFmK-C90sfE From Order of Play (2014): - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBWWkqxGMEQ - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxVU8otXJyw - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yvukYbizhE It shows a little of the path Martin is taking ith his music. If he is coming back to his roots to try another kind of flights later... only time will tell. |

I have "A Trick Of Memory", and listened to it today.
I feel it could get accepted by Crossover. I'll listen to the Spotify albums Olav posted, and will consider adding him to the chart.

I have Stage Left. More pop elements than prog actually if you ask me. Even some straightforward numbers. But the Tull sound appears here and there (a Winter snowscape for example which was added as a bonus in the jt christmas album. Indeed it could be included in the crossover family and I'd like to see him on PA one day.

It's not Progressive Rock. I like his touch and Style in JT and I agree he is a great musician BUT I can't found any Prog elements in his solo albums (IMO).

Not even in some moments of "Stage Left" or in the instrumental tracks of "A Trick of Memory"? By the way, check out the last track of the "Away with words", it shows a great progression, good as any Tull track. |

Not Prog indeed, but damn fine Rock and PA has seen worse.
Go Martin! |

1 or 2 track isn't enough for me. For example "Grand Funk Railroad" have a Progressive track called "Railroad" but you can't say they are a Progressive band!! I stand to my opinion and IMO it's not Progressive Rock as I said before. Thanks. |

I said "moments" and not tracks. But I do understand your point.
Oh well, I'll wait for the team guys to manifest themselves. |

I'm going to present Mr. Barre to the Crossover team.
Personally, I'm leaning toward a mild yes vote, but I cannot say what the rest of the team will do. If he does not get accepted, I'll will petition for him as prog related. I think he deserves as much.
