Default Jethro Tull: A Passion Play pt. 2

Just spent the morning listening to the second half of "A Passion Play" while reading the lyrics. Then I spent another hour scouring youtube for some decent video footage of it, at which I was unsuccessful.

Some call APP one of Tull's weakest moments, but I would argue that the whole album, and especially the second half, is one of most powerful pieces of music every recorded. Unlike so many other 20-minute epics that piece together separate songs to create an extended track, the 2nd half of APP is one relentless, completely coherent piece of music, and it is absolute perfection. I've been listening to it for 10-years, and it just never gets old to me.

I go around and around on my favorite prog side-long epic (TAAB pt.1, APP pt.2, CTTE, Relayer, Lighthouse Keepers, Suppers Ready), and they are all great, but this morning APP pt. 2 reigns supreme for me.

Just an amazing section of music.
