1915 Ian Anderson - Kismet in Suburbia

From: Thick as a Brick 2; Year: 2012; Genre: Progressive Rock

I had this song come on my iPod the other day whilst I was on the road; it's one of my favourites on the album. I've been thinking about picking another track from TAAB2 anyway, so it's a good time.
This one's a pretty good mix between the sound of the original and the more recent sound and musical ideas. I really like the instrumental section at the end of the song; their use of Indian like musical vocalization is especially fun. In the greater concept album this one fits in as part of the epilogue for all of the five of fictional character Gerald Bostock's "what-ifs."
