Description/Reviews: 

Listening to Tardigrade Space Rock! (De la Renaissance) by Clay Green's Polysorbate Masquerade Band felt like I had found lost demos from Jethro Tull that would have been recorded for an album released between Thick as a Brick and A Passion Play.
Sure there are also other influences from that era that pop up (Focus, Gentle Giant, ELP...) but the Jethro Tull feel hardly ever goes away from this very entertaning album.
