Two AI protagonists debate the merits of the HiFi Hobbyist ranking of Jethro Tull albums

from The HiFi Hobbyist Podcast · host alan gillies

In last week's podcast, I selected my favourite five Jethro Tull albums. The selection was based on musical and lyrical quality, rather than the sound quality of the original releases, but as this was a Hi-Fi Hobbyist podcast, sound quality was raised, especially in relation to the Steve Wilson remixes where available.  For this week's podcast, we have generated a debate between two AI protagonists, one set the task of defending my ranking, the other required to oppose it in classic debating fashion.  We have reused the version of Bourrée from J.S. Bach's Lute Suite in E minor, BWV 996, that inspired Jethro Tull’s famous Bourrée track when Ian Anderson heard Martin Barre play it on his guitar. This version is by Jakob Lindberg, and the recording is in the public domain.
