Definitely Wakemen, sans Yes. The album was recorded live, with a full
orchestra if I remember correctly. I seem to remember he set out on a tour
with the whole ensemble, but the costs were too great and it ended before
schedule. 

 

Unrelated, I seem to have a foggy memory about a former sideman of Zappa,
from the Bongo Fury (recorded in Austin, center of .) days who after going
solo concentrated on mood music and established Cave Records somewhere in
NC. This is a stretch, but I think his studio was in a real cave.

Gill,

Earth"

 

      I was a big Jethro Tull fan, but I've never heard of that one.
Neither has <http://remus.rutgers.edu/JethroTull/songs.html> and
<http://remus.rutgers.edu/JethroTull/disco.html>.  Maybe it was someone
else?  Rick Wakeman of Yes had an album by that name.
