THE SECRET LANGUAGE OF BIRDS

This is a very nice and listenable collections of light, but intelligent tunes from the Tull-master, Ian Anderson. And once again, as on Divinities, his collaboration with keybordist Andrew Giddings provides an intricacy to the songs that should provide enjoyment to most prog fans.

The songs are all short, the longest being just over 5 minutes, and any of them would fit quite well on most Tull albums. Martin Barre even makes an appearance on a couple of songs (wouldn't that make them Tull songs anyway?).

As I mentioned previously, the arrangements are spectacular, and the recording quality is crystal clear, with instruments dancing across the stereo spectrum. I highly recommend this one to any Tull fan, prog- folk fan, or good music fan in general.
