Pretty cool. One can't tell much from such a small snippet, but I have a good feeling about this record.

Here is the first teaser for Homo Erraticus. This little bit sounds very cool! Looking forward to new I.A. music! Like Jeff, I'm hoping the spoken word stuff and megaphone effects are left off or sparse. First listens always reminds of other songs he has done and I get sort of a Black Sunday feel about this one.

If we have anything near Black Sunday this record will be epic indeed. About the spoken words, I think we will have some. Ian is in the vibe of the prog he did in the 70's. It would be nice if the spoken parts were like the TaaB and APP, few and short, and kind of sung, like Jeffrey used to do. Of course not considering The Hare.. . But unfortunately I think we will have more. Like in the Chateu Tapes, Law of the Bungle and such. It seems something the old man is found of.

Dave Rees said he was up at Ian's place on Friday. One assumes for a nice big juicy interview but he also said Ian played most of the album and it was indeed more than splendid. Looking forward to this!

I always assume Dave would be at the forefront of emerging wonderfulness. I forget he has a team at AND.

Well if you beleive what you read in the month's Record Collector that 'beery and opinionated' team fits rather 'closely with Tull's irritable Britishness', sounds like the perfect team for the job to me!

What's also exciting is the idea that Ian will be doing the Jethro Tull music with a twist.

Meliora Sequamur is the motto of several schools in England. It is described sometimes as "Let us follow better things" or "Let's keep striving for better". I happen to know that because I recently found the Blackpool's Grammar School website, full of pictures of the students. Certainly Ian, Jeffrey and John can be found there, not named because I looked, but I am almost sure I identified John Evan in a picture. I'll try to find it. Anyway, apparently "non est mea culpa" was just a taste of the latin to come!

Now, Homo Erraticus is about to come out, after I have thought for a long time that Ian would do some type of album involving Latin, and if you recall my Catullus thread, I made the comparison between the ancient Roman poet and Ian. In an old thread entitled Toga Tull, or something like that, I also mused that Ian might venture further back in history, to ancient Greece or Rome, since he's already got the 12th through 20th centuries pretty much covered. And now, it looks like the new album will in fact transport us back to antiquity and include several songs with Latin titles, continuing a trend over the last ten years for Ian to use Latin phrases, such as Amo, Amas, Amat and Non Est Mea Culpa, and I think there may have been a few others.

Darin, your translations remind me of: "See there! A son is born and we pronounce him fit to fight!"

Much better sounding translations than what I made a stab at; my schoolboy Latin was forgotten many moons ago, along with English and Danish...

Ian promotional material now available here www.kscopemusic.com/iananderson/promo/Again made available via Dave Kovacs "The new album from Jethro Tull frontman to be released on Calliandra Records in conjunction with Kscope on April 14th
In 2012 Ian Anderson released Thick As A Brick 2, the follow-up to Jethro Tull’s legendary concept album. The album was a critical and commercial success, charting around the world. In April he returns with Homo Erraticus, his new studio album.
The original Thick As A Brick album, released in 1972, was based around the poem of disgraced child prodigy Gerald Bostock. For Homo Erraticus Anderson is reunited with Bostock, using lyrics written by Gerald based on an old historical manuscript. The manuscript examines key events from throughout British history before going on to offer a number of prophecies for the future.
Suitably dramatised and exaggerated by Bostock as metaphors for modern life, he presented Anderson with ideas for 14 songs, which have now been set to music. The result is Homo Erraticus.
The album will be released on Anderson’s own Calliandra records label in conjunction with Kscope on April 14th.
Following the release of this “Jethro Tull” (in all but name) album, Ian and his band will be embarking on an extensive UK tour, where they will play the album in its entirety followed by a selection of Tull classics. These shows will be followed by further tours in Europe, America and more later in the year.
Tracklist PART ONE: CHRONICLES 1 Doggerland 2 Heavy Metals 3 Enter The Uninvited 4 Puer Ferox Adventus 5 Meliora Sequamur 6 The Turnpike Inn 7 The Engineer 8 The Pax Britannica
PART TWO: PROPHECIES 9 Tripudium Ad Bellum 10 After These Wars 11 New Blood, Old Veins

I was thinking, TaaB 2 was not "written by Bostock" but an exploration of his possible fates by Ian. Homo will feature Bostock's lyrics. Do you think it might have lyrics closer in style the original TaaB? It is an interesting possibility...

From Wikipedia-
Pax Britannica: (Latin for "the British Peace", modelled after Pax Romana) was the period of relative peace in Europe and the world (1815–1914)

This is all looking very interesting. I wish Ian had enough gumption to announce it as simply "Ian Anderson" instead of saying "Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull"... I mean... if we are even looking at the clip we know who you are LOL... but still, I'm starting to get a good feeling about this as well.

Hmmm...leaning on my college Latin classes (and I was leaning in class, because I was either drunk or hungover), here are my best guesses for the Latin titles (I may be wrong, but I think I'm close):
Puer Ferox Adventus -- A Boy's Wild Arrival Meliora Sequamur -- Let Us Follow Better Things Tripudium Ad Bellum - Ritual Dance of War Per Errationes Ad Astra -- Through Wandering (errancy, misguided straying) To The Stars

Anyone else hearing Martin's 'Misere' with the opening chord on that teaser? (Jim, try not to get your extremely large, Sir Flo-stained boxers, wedged inside your hairy, pimply, cellulite ridden bottom because of that observation)
