Gentle Giant ... I know: youll call me an old, nostalgic fart... This said, I kindly ask to both my age and younger music lovers and audiophiles to have a (re-) listen to Gentle Giants albums. The Prog albums between 1969 and 1974 were the azimuth of rock music... to my ears, sure considering the best examples and issues, the above is still valid and actual today. Some records aged beautifully, others not so much... Genesis Foxtrot, King Crimsons 1st, In the wake of Poseidon, Lizard, Island and The Larks Tongue in Aspic and Gentle Giants 1st, Acquiring the Taste, Three Friends, Octopus, Glass House and Free Hand are the true winners. ... other superb discs exist, of course, yet Im just after highlightening Gentle Giants masterpieces, someway overlooked and shadowed by Gabriels and Fripps group(s).  I listened in the last few days to the above mentioned Gentle Giants discs, plus Interview and The Power and the Glory and... the hate also best Prog gets from music ...
