UNDER WRAPS

Ahhhh...the much maligned UNDER WRAPS. Personally, there is much here that I actually like. It is far beyond the old classic folky kind of Tull, but it is an interesting electronic form of Jethro Tull. The songs I like on this are : "Lap of Luxury", "Under Wraps #1", "Later That Same Evening", "Radio Free Moscow", "Astronomy", and "Apogee". The rest are pretty much throw aways. The bonus track, "General Crossing", also grabs me for some reason. However, drums would have been nice instead of the drum machine, and possibly Eddie Jobson could have contributed to this as he did on A. All in all, I can see where many people do not like this. But, for me, it is very listenable if a few tunes are skipped. 3 stars. It is better than a few other Tull release such as ROCK ISLAND, anyways..
