Biography

The 1970s was the decade that saw, at the height of the prog-rock movement, the pushing of the existing artistic and progressive boundaries and the expanding of the experimental. One of the most experimental bands of the time was Gentle Giant. The band was comprised of the Scottish brothers Phil, Derek and Ray Shulman, with Gary Green and Kerry Minnear.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Power And The Glory Of Progressive Music, May 25, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: POWER & THE GLORY (Audio CD)
During the seventies, the European continent and the whole world produced tons of band that we all used to call their music as "progressive rock" and GG is that one call now and forever "unforgetable". Their music was a genuine mix of "I-do-not-know-how-to-explain". They were more than perfect, more than extravagant, more than superb along with many others bands of that period. This "The Power And The Glory" and also "Acquiring The Taste", "In A Glass House", "Gentle Giant" and "Free Hand" are the truest and most genuine gems of the power and the glory of progressive rock music of all times. A million stars rate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unparalleled, January 22, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: POWER & THE GLORY (Audio CD)
If you held a gun to my head and asked me my favorite Giant album, I'd have to go with The Power and the Glory. Proclamation was the first GG song I ever heard -- late one night on WKSU (Kent State) in Ohio. I bought the album the next day, and I can honestly say my life has never been the same. There's other good reviews here, so I'll just get to the point: If you have more than a passing interest in art rock, buy this record.

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazingly eclectic listening experience, December 9, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: POWER & THE GLORY (Audio CD)
From the opening Fender Rhodes piano riff, you know you're in a new world. Gentle Giant created a collage of sparkling, precise riffs, nods to Renaissance vocal music, thundering guitar moments, and folk fiddle. This album showcased them as one of the most well-integrated, tightest units in pop music history. No other art rock band of the 70's comes close.
