The end of an era for these prog-rock legends, as this 1979 album was the last to feature this particular lineup. An ominous aura pervades this moody masterpiece, featuring North Sea Oil; Orion; Home; Dark Ages; Old Ghosts, and more. This remastered reissue also contains a Stitch in Time; Crossword, and two other bonus tracks!Reviews:
''Stormwatch'' (1979) is the twelfth studio album by the rock group Jethro Tull. It is considered the last in the trilogy of folk-rock albums by Jethro Tull (although folk music influenced virtually every Tull album). Among other subject-matter, the album touches heavily on the problems relating to the environment, oil and money, although the hysteria of that time was perceived as "Global cooling".
In 2004, a remastered version of ''Stormwatch'' was released with four bonus tracks.
This is the last Tull album to feature the classic line-up of 1970s.
Bassist John Glascock, suffering at this point from the effects of a cardiac infection that eventually led to his death, is only featured on three tracks ("Flying Dutchman", "Orion", and "Elegy"). Ian Anderson played bass elsewhere on the album.
The instrumental piece "Elegy" was written by David Palmer. - Wikipedia
