Tweet, tweet, tweet ... Jethro Tull's satyr-like singer and flautist indulges himself terribly on a collection of wispy nothings filled with images of "glistening" iguanas, "flitting" illusions, "milky" light, "virgin" dawn (you get the idea) and, of course, the birds, the birds ....

 Steeped in an Olde English flavour and loaded with twittering flute solos, there are some laughable moments in Anderson's gentle music. But he's dead serious, singing the most esoteric, mystical and silly sentiments in his reedy voice, undoubtedly inspired by years of wandering around in his own garden. Music for hobbits.
