La secuela de Thick As A Brick 2, el nuevo álbum que Ian Anderson está preparando para ser publicado en 2014, ya tiene título y fecha de publicación. El disco será editado bajo el título de Homo Erraticus y saldrá a la calle en el mes de Abril de 2014. También sabemos , por fín, bajo que nombre artístico vendrá firmado el trabajo. Ian Anderson habla en el nuevo libro sobre la historia de la banda, escrito por Brian Rabey y publicado recientemente (A Passion Play: The Story Of Ian Anderson And Jethro Tull), que "no sería capaz de publicar un álbum como Jethro Tull si Martin Barre no estuviera con nosotros". Bien, quizas ésta sea la razón más poderosa para que Homo Erraticus salga publicado bajo el nombre de Jethro Tull´s Ian Anderson (que no es Jethro Tull) al igual que también lo hizo con TAAB2.
Anderson habla en la pagina oficial del grupo sobre el nuevo álbum, declarando "Homo Erraticus trata sobre las extrañas imaginaciones de un tal Ernest T Parritt, recapturado para la ocasión por Gerald Bostock, quien se encuentra ya en su edad madura, tras un viaje a la vieja librería de Mathew Bunter, en el pueblo de Linwell. Bostock y Bunter (suenan a Bufete de malos abogados) se topan con éste polvoriento e inédtito manuscrito, escrito por un historiador local, Ernest T Parritt (1873-1928), y titulado "Homo Britanicus Erraticus". El documento muestra un resumen de los elementos historicos claves en la evolución de la temprana civilización en Gran Bretaña, y parece profetizar escenarios futuros. Dos años antes de su muerte, Parritt tuvo una traumática caida de su caballo mientras cazaba en el valle de Clatterbury Hounds, y despertó con la abrumadora convicción de haber disfrutado de vidas pasadas con personajes históricos: una pre- historia nómada de los colonos neolíticos , un herrero de la Edad de Hierro , un invasor sajón, un monje cristiano , un niño de la escuela primaria del siglo XVII , posadero de peaje , uno de los ingenieros del ferrocarril de Brunel , e incluso el príncipe Alberto, esposo de la reina Victoria. Esta confundido , su obsesión delirante se extiende a su profecía sobre eventos futuros y sus imaginaciones fantásticas de la vida aún por venir ...."
Parece ser que el señor Anderson ha debido estar leyendo mucho ultimamente a escritores como Dan Brown...
Bien, la nueva Gira comenzará en Abril, y la banda (parece ser que continuará la formación que ha estado girando dos años con el espectáculo de TAAB 1&2) interpretara el nuevo trabajo al completo en una primera parte y lo mejor de Jethro Tull en su segunda parte.
The TAAB2 Sequel, the new album that Ian Anderson is recording to be released in 2014, has title and release date. The new CD is titled Homo Erraticus, and will be released next April 2014. We know, at last, under what artistic name the new album will be out. As Ian Anderson declared to Brian Rabey in his latest book (A Passion Play: The Story Of Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull) "it won´t be a new JT album if Martin Barre is not with us", this is probably the main reason Ian Anderson has decided Homo Erraticus will be out under the Jethro Tull´s Ian Anderson name, as did with TAAB2.
Anderson talks about Homo Erraticus in the official JT web: "Written earlier this year, commencing 09.00 hours on January first, it chronicles the weird imaginings of one Ernest T Parritt, as recaptured by the now middle-aged Gerald Bostock after a trip to Mathew Bunter’s Old Library Bookshop in Linwell village. Bostock and Bunter (sounds like a firm of dodgy solicitors) came across this dusty, unpublished manuscript, written by local amateur historian Ernest T. Parritt, (1873 -1928), and entitled “Homo Britanicus Erraticus”.
The illustrated document summarises key historical elements of early civilisation in Britain and seems to prophesy future scenarios too. Two years before his death, Parritt had a traumatic fall from his horse while out hunting with the Vale Of Clutterbury Hounds and awoke with the overwhelming conviction of having enjoyed past lives as historical characters: a pre-history nomadic neolithic settler, an Iron Age blacksmith, a Saxon invader, a Christian monk, a Seventeenth Century grammar school boy, turnpike innkeeper, one of Brunel’s railroad engineers, and even Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria. This befuddled, delusional obsession extends to his prophecy of future events and his fantasy imaginings of lives yet to come…."
Err...it seems Mr. Anderson has been reading too much Dan Brown books lately...
Ok, the new Tour will start in April, and the album (it seems there will be the same musicians as in the TAAB Tours) will be played in its entirety in the first half of the show and after the intermission, they will play a collection of Tull classics.

SUNSHINE.
Siguiendo con las extensas colaboraciones que Ian Anderson ha hecho a multitud de musicos en los últimos años, debemos de sumar ahora su trabajo con Unnur Birna, violinista y cantante islandesa que ha colaborado con muchos artistas internacionales ademas de grabar sus propios discos en solitario. Unnur colaboró con Anderson gratuitamente en algunos conciertos que éste hizo por Islandia en las ultimas giras, por lo que el escocés ha decidido hacer lo mismo en uno de los temas del último trabajo de la violinista. Se trata de la canción Sunshine, escrito como una oda a la luz solar y la felicidad después de huir de la oscuridad del invierno en Islandia. Pop Rock de bella factura.
Following the collaborations Ian Anderson did to many musicians in the past few years, we must add now a new one with Unnur Birna, Icelandic violinist and singer who has collaborated with many international artists in addition to recording their own solo albums.Unnur has joined Anderson as an unpaid guest on a few Icelandic shows in recent years, "so it is a great pleasure (say Anderson) to return the favour and appear on one of her songs at last". This is the song Sunshine, written as an ode to sunlight and happiness after fleeing the dark winter in Iceland. Pop Rock beautifully performed.
