This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Roots to Branches''''' is the 19th studio album by the British band [[Jethro Tull (band)|Jethro Tull]] released in September [[1995 in music|1995]]. It carries characteristics of Tull's classic 1970s [[progressive rock]] and [[folk rock]] roots alongside [[jazz]] and [[Arabic music|Arabic]] and [[Indian music|Indian]] influences. All songs were written by [[Ian Anderson]] and recorded at his home studio. This is the last Tull album to feature [[Dave Pegg]] on the bass, and the first to feature keyboardist [[Andrew Giddings]] as an official band member, although he had contributed to ''[[Catfish Rising]]'' (1991) on a sessional basis. As a result, the album notably features the five longest serving members to date in Jethro Tull’s history. It was also the final Tull album to be released through long-time label [[Chrysalis Records]].

A remastered edition of the album was released in January 2007.

==Production and musical style==
In some way, this album was much derived from the visit Ian Anderson made to [[India]]. S.A. Allen, in a history of the band, somewhat reductively describes the album as an "Indian ''[[Songs from the Wood]]''."<ref name="google">((cite book|title=Jethro Tull: A History of the Band, 1968-2001|author=Nollen, S.A.|date=2001|publisher=McFarland|isbn=9780786411016|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=AsvpFwKVCN4C|page=336|access-date=2014-11-30))</ref>

About ''Roots to Branches'', Ian Anderson said: "I see ''Roots To Branches'' as the 90s version of ''[[Stand Up (Jethro Tull album)|Stand Up]]'', because it has a lot of the things that I feel represented the key elements of Jethro Tull: there's lots of flute, lots of riffy guitars and quite a broad palette of influences, from the blues and classical to the Eastern motifs that were apparent on ''Stand Up'' ". On the other hand, Anderson also added that "the only thing about it that lets me down is that I made it sound a little too Seventies. I deliberately made the album sound like it was in the context of a live performance, rather than have it sound too 'studio.' But looking back on it, I think it should have been a bit more varied".<ref name="tullpress">((cite web|url=http://www.tullpress.com/gwsept99.htm|title=Jethro Tull Press: Guitar World, September 1999|website=Tullpress.com|access-date=2014-11-30|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303193125/http://www.tullpress.com/gwsept99.htm|archive-date=3 March 2016|df=dmy-all))</ref>

[[AllMusic]] made an unimpressed but positive review: "All of the songs here have more of a mood of urgency than some of Tull's then-recent albums, and a few even have memorable melodies [...]  Anderson's flute occasionally takes flight, Martin Barre's guitar still wails on the breaks, and Doane Perry (drums), Dave Pegg (bass), and Steve Bailey (bass) make up a decent rhythm section. Not nearly as strong as ''[[Catfish Rising]]'', but better than anything else since ''[[Heavy Horses]]''".<ref name="allmusic">((cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/roots-to-branches-mw0000177404|title=Roots to Branches - Jethro Tull &#124; Songs, Reviews, Credits, Awards &#124; AllMusic|website=[[AllMusic]]|access-date=2014-11-30))</ref>
