“Our contribution was chosen 100% on name alone. Come on, it’s ridiculous! So imagine our surprise once we actually listened to the track… holy &@^¥, this tune RIPS!! The actual recording of this track was an absolute riot. Imagine Daniel in the vocal booth, trying to SCREAM lyrics like “eating their nuts, saving their raisins for Sunday” with a straight face? Not a chance! Jethro Tull was an ever present influence for the four of us growing up, and we were honored to be able to add a little bit of our own voice to the storied history of what Jethro Tull means to heavy music.” — Kellen McInerney/Hashtronaut

Jethro Tull are musical giants with a unique sound – or rather sounds that have remained singular in the canon of rock music. Founded in Blackpool, Lancashire, in 1967 by the Scotsman Ian Anderson, the band has undergone several stylistic shifts and changes of image during their still ongoing career of many decades. Yet largely due to the characteristic voice of their frontman and the inclusion of a flute as an essential instrument, Jethro Tull have always had an inimitable and easily recognisable trademark sonic fingerprint.
Jethro Tull have pushed the limits of what defines rock music from the start. Elements of classical music, jazz, and traditional music such as compound time signatures have led to the band being classified as art rock and later progressive rock – among a host of other terms. The British legend has managed to balance the tightrope between art, wide appeal and commercial success with seeming ease. This was helped by the outstanding showmanship of Ian Anderson, whose stagecraft and performances even rivalled his contemporary, the legendary British singer Arthur Brown.
The Magnetic Eye Redux Series features hand-picked classic albums from across the history of rock and metal re-imagined in their entirety from start to finish. Artists we love from within and outside the heavy rock landscape choose tracks to make their own, bringing these milestone records into the new millennium with crushing heaviness and searing energy. To date, we’ve produced Redux editions of Pink Floyd’s »The Wall«, Helmet’s »Meantime«, Black Sabbath’s »Vol. 4«, Hendrix’s »Electric Ladyland«, Alice In Chains’ »Dirt«, AC/DC’s »Back In Black«, and Soundgarden’s »Superunknown« which have included artists like Red Fang, Matt Pike, Pallbearer, The Melvins, All Them Witches, Khemmis, ASG, Supersuckers, Zakk Wylde, Mark Lanegan, Ruby The Hatchet, and many other amazing artists.
Join us for our eighth foray into Redux territory as we pay proper respect to the singular British rock innovators Jethro Tull!
