Aqualung153 reviews
Jethro Tull
Capitol, 1999
"His cross was rather bloody/ He could hardly roll his stone..."
+ vinyl replacement
+ Still Great After All These Years
When people talk about progressive rock being dull and dated and pretentious, they surely can't be thinking of Aqualung. Jethro Tull's gospel-weary opus may be full of flute solos and lyrics about man's relationship to God, but it still rocks more righteously than anything Guns `N' Roses ever did. ...

Outer Limits
MGM (Video & DVD), 2002
five stars for mayjor episodes six for the Sixth Finger, Man Never Born, and OBIT.
+ Very happy to see this series on DVD
+ excellent series
The First season is the best and don't even bother with the second, it was nothing but a B&W "Night Gallery" crap shot. The funds ran out, why I cannot speculate as this was a high quality and believable(if at times campy-who cares!) Sci Fi series. It has stories of profound insite tugging on ...
