The sequel comes 40 years after the classic Jethro Tull album and answers the question about how did the Brick character Gerald Bostock, now in his 50s, turn out.
Unlike ‘Brick 1’, which was a complete body of work broken into two parts on vinyl LP edition, ‘Brick 2’ will feature 17 separate tracks but will flow as a single song.
Anderson will release his ‘Brick’ sequel through EMI next week. The film footage will be seen as a 25-minute documentary on the bonus DVD edition.
The tracklisting is:
1. “From A Pebble Thrown”
2. “Pebbles Instrumental”
3. “Might-have-beens”
4. “Upper Sixth Loan Shark”
5. “Banker Bets, Banker Wins”
6. “Swing It Far”
7. “Adrift And Dumfounded”
8. “Old School Song”
9. “Wootton Bassett Town”
10. “Power And Spirit”
11. “Give Till It Hurts”
12. “Cosy Corner”
13. “Shunt And Shuffle”
14. “A Change Of Horses”
15. “Confessional”
16. “Kismet In Suburbia”
17. “What-ifs, Maybes And Might-have-beens”
