"every song on this is solid and engaging,"big tree,blue sea" is the best tune here,clocking in at 6-minutes,this song does more with the jethro tull sound than even they could muster themselves.it rocks hard and the flute playing is great,adds an eirry atmosphere to it.great guitar work by george kooymans also.and speaking of kooymans:he sings great vocals on 3 of the songs:best on being "this is the time of the year",it makes me wonder how many countless bands have followed that guitar-riff,for eons...i'd like say GE invented that,being this was from 1970!!!.another highlight is "peguins to the sky",with a rock-solid guitar solo-jam,don't care for the chorus,but that's only a minor complaint!.another criminally neglected classic from the earring that's worth a listen!!!"
