Blops - Allegro Ma Non Troppo

Thanks for those, Preston, I'll give them a listen.
That Sad Minstrel one looks as if it could be the cover of a Tull bootleg recording, from the Passion Play/Minstrel era.

yep Jeff, the cover of the sad minstrel is similar to boots of the 80s/90s

Here is Jumbo from 1972 from their great DNA release
The 20 min Suite per il Sig contains loads of Tull inspired flute throughout. This is really enjoyable if you can get past the voice

From Estonia Synopsis creating a very overall Tull like sound in their track Minstrel using recorders rather than flutes but an ace track nonetheless

I posted a Lucifer Was track earlier in this thread. Here is another featuring like Tullflute in this cross between sabbath and Tull band I remember the other one you posted, the one which had an album cover that was very much like the Black Sabbath album. I like the idea of a cross between Tull and Sabbath, and I like the powerful, flute-filled opening to the song, and the guy's vocals are pretty good. But it's not very long after the opening that the song gets a little boring, just another standard rocker in 4/4 time. Jeff

Jeff I agree with your comments regarding the Lucifer Was track.
How about this German band Think from their Variety release. Its a real mixture of styles including lots of nice flute. I particularly like the flute at 1 min 35 ff

You know I will be checking this one out.
One of my favorite threads here, Preston.
Never had the slightest idea there were so many flute-rock bands out there!

I'm going to add to Preston's great thread, with two dynamic pieces by the obscure German prog-rock band, Subect Esq., that I just stumbled upon. Definitely with a heavy Tull influence, incorporating flute, harmonica, sax, etc., acoustic guitar and loads of Hammond organ into their bombastic and decidedly heavy prog- rock.
Both of these are damn good.

Not sure if this has been shown here before, but I'm slowly getting back into Family so I'm trawling YouTube for their stuff and came across this with added flute. Also worth looking up the references to the song on wikipedia It mentions Tull's influence as regards another song where the story of "The Weaver" features, 'The Goddess and the Weaver'. It's recorded by Australian pagan folk rock band 'Spiral Dance'. In a podcast interview the singer and composer, Adrienne Piggot, mentions having been influenced by British bands such as Jethro Tull and Fleetwood Mac, so it's possible that Family may also have been an influence. it seems there's a podcast of interview available at: www.spiraldance.com.au/

I was not familiar with Family before your post. I will give this a listen and read up on them. BTW, I love your new signature, with the middle finger appendage added on to Ray Lomas's "up yours" gesture. I think I may have an idea who it is directed toward. ;D Jeff

Just thought I would post another example of Solaris . Here are the final three parts of their Nostradamus suite performed live at a reunion concert in 2004. If you can get your head around the operatic style of the vocals ... I am sure that you will find lots of flute prog to enjoy in these clips. Check out the flute at 7.28 in clip 1 and especially at 0.34 in clip 2 Hope you enjoy [youtube] Never heard of these guys, thanks P.

Adding to this extensive Flute Prog Rock thread, here are two excellent songs by Dalton from Italy, both featuring loads of very Tullish flute.
Some biographical excerpts from youtube:
"The group was formed in 1972 by keyboardist Temistocle Reduzzi,Aronne Cereda on guitars, Alex Chiesa on flute, Rino Limonta on bass and Walter "Tati" Locatelli on drums, they released a very good debut album with "Riflessioni: idea d'infinito". With a great use of flute and good guitar riffs, the album has some very good moments, like Idea d'infinito with some JETHRO TULL influences......
Affinity to early UK prog is noticeable in the blues-influenced guitar riffs and leads, typically breathy and percussive flute lines, occasional stabs at (then) avant-garde electronic episodes based on Moog and a Mellotron.
After a single in 1974, "La donna e il bambino", the band had a line-up change with Reduzzi and flutist Alex Chiesa leaving to be replaced by keyboardist Giancarlo Brambilla and singer Massimo Moretti, but the second album "Argitari" (a title formed with the initials of the musicians' names) is considered by many on a lower level than their debut and is mainly built on acoustic guitar.
The band closed its career with a late commercial single in 1979......
2005 has seen a new CD reissue of Dalton's second album, Argitari, strongly enriched by new flute overdubs by original member Alex Chiesa, and a much better sound.
Dalton's peculiar sound is an interesting mix between folk and symphonic. They are an important part of the classic italian prog rock scene of the seventies (RPI)."
Discography: Riflessioni: idea d'infinito, studio album (1973) Argitari, studio album (1975)

I don't ordinarily love instrumental numbers, especially really longs ones, but here is a great, relatively short instrumental piece by the critically acclaimed Israeli progressive rock/jazz fusion band, Sympozion. This one, called Patterns, also features a lot of flute, but it is more in a Gentle Giant vein rather than Tull: A review on Prog Rock Archives lists Sympozion's diverse influences as follows; "Here is a short list of bands and artists that influenced the music on this album: Gentle Giant, Frank Zappa, Steve Reich, Philip Glass, Erik Satie, Olivier Messiaen, Igor Stravinsky, Yannis Xenakis, Pierre Boulez, Joe Pass, John Coltrane and many more." Interesting stuff. More info at: www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=2339Jeff

I was so glad to see Dalton represented in this thread. Their music is really hard to get hold of but one of the best prog flute bands around. I also loved the Israeli band. For a Gentle Giant sound check out Oakensham as well

For a Gentle Giant sound check out Oakensham as well I just came across Dalton by accident on youtube...had not heard of them before, but I really liked those two songs. Sympozion I came across while researching another great Israeli flute prog band called Eggroll, who opened for Tull a few years back in Israel. (See Israeli Eggroll Tull thread, which I will be updating soon.) Jeff

Here are some tracks from German band Brain storm. First of these is Herbst from their second smile. Stay with the tune it opens into great Tull style fluting at 2.33
Second up is 'smile a while' which after a sax intro moves into lots of flute moods some reminiscent of Ians style particularly at 2 . 34 and in particular in the lengthy solo a t 5.45 mins
ps Jeff this has some vocals in the style of Greg lake
