JETHRO TULL's "A Passion Play" gets a sparkly makeover in this new Steven Wilson mix, and boy, does it shine brighter than a pair of leather trousers under a disco ball. Wilson, whose magic touch has rejuvenated classics from the likes of Yes and King Crimson, works his wizardry on this prog rock masterpiece, giving it a fresh coat of paint that screams "I'm ready for my close-up!"
From the haunting flute solos to the epic guitar riffs, every note on this album feels like a rollercoaster ride through a psychedelic dreamscape. Ian Anderson's vocals sound crisp and clear, like he's whispering sweet nothings in your ear while doing a jig on one leg (yes, the man truly is a legend).
The mix itself is as clear as a freshly polished mirror, allowing each instrument to shine through without overpowering the others. It's like stepping into a time machine and being transported back to the glorious heyday of 70s prog, complete with all the bells and whistles (literally, there are bells and whistles on this album).
So put on your finest velvet cape, pour yourself a goblet of mead, and let JETHRO TULL's "A Passion Play" take you on a mystical journey that will leave you wondering why you ever doubted the power of prog rock. This mix is a masterpiece, and Wilson deserves a round of applause for breathing new life into an old classic. Bravo!
