| The follow up to Secret Language, Rupi's Dance is again mainly acoustic, but with clearer lyrics. It is also more Tullish, especially in song structure. What's your take on Rupi's Dance by Ian Anderson? |

Steve. This is a stinker of the highest order. I played it a few times. After the third time I shouted at the speakers "Shut Up Ian"! Haven't played it since. Martin Barre released "Stage Left" almost at the same time as this album by IA. Stage Left is a 5 star album but Rupi's Dance is a 1.5 star album, sell your CD if you have it. I've still got mine, anyone want it?! |

This is darker than Secret Language. Still great. There's a mellotron in one track if memory serves me.

I really enjoyed Rupi's Dance and the accompanying "Rubbing Elbows" tour. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

 I agree with you, man. And so I invite you to review http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=49902" rel="nofollow - Stage Left ! Great album. About Rupis Dance, it really shows the idiossyncrasies of Anderson... not sure if like it or not. I do enjoy the acoustic set he plays and the celtic background that came over... but agree, not a must have album. ------------- - From each according to his ability, to each according to his need. |
