'''''J-Tull Dot Com''''' is the 20th studio album by the British band [[Jethro Tull (band)|Jethro Tull]], released in 1999 on [[Papillon Records|Papillon]], the [[Chrysalis Group|Chrysalis Group's]] late 1990s heritage [[record label]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/13506/jethro-tull/|title = JETHRO TULL &#124; full Official Chart History &#124; Official Charts Company|website = [[Official Charts Company|Official Charts]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/8054967.sir-cliffs-firm-signs-up-terrorvision/|title=Sir Cliff's firm signs up Terrorvision!}}</ref> It was released four years after their 1995 album ''[[Roots to Branches]]'' and continues in the same vein, marrying [[hard rock]] with [[Eastern music]] influences. It is the first album to feature [[Jonathan Noyce]] on bass, who would remain with the band until 2007 in Jethro Tull's longest ever unchanged line-up. This was the last Jethro Tull album to feature all original, new material for 23 years (until the release of ''[[The Zealot Gene]]''<ref>{{cite web |first=Jerry |last=Ewing |date=13 July 2021 |url=https://www.loudersound.com/amp/news/jethro-tull-to-release-new-album-the-zealot-gene-in-early-2022 |title=Jethro Tull to Release New Album The Zealot Gene in Early 2022 |work=Louder |access-date=13 July 2021}}</ref> in 2022), although the band did release [[The Jethro Tull Christmas Album|a Christmas album]] in 2003, which contained a mixture of new material, re-recordings of Tull's own suitably themed material and arrangements of traditional Christmas music.
