Gentle Giant were a British progressive rock band active between 1970 and 1980. The band was known for the complexity and sophistication of its music and for the varied musical skills of its members. All of the band members, except Malcolm Mortimore, were multi-instrumentalists. Although not commercially successful, they did achieve a cult following.
The band's onetime stated aim was to "expand the frontiers of contemporary popular music at the risk of becoming very unpopular", although this stance was to alter significantly with time.
Gentle Giant's music was considered complex even by progressive rock standards, drawing on a broad swath of music including folk, soul, jazz, and classical music. Unlike many of their progressive rock contemporaries, their "classical" influences ranged beyond the Romantic and incorporated medieval, baroque, and modernist chamber music elements. The band also had a taste for broad themes for their lyrics, drawing inspiration not only from personal experiences but from philosophy and the works of both François Rabelais and R. D. Laing. In 2015 they were recognised with the lifetime achievement award at the Progressive Music Awards.

The Power and the Glory is an album by the British progressive rock group Gentle Giant, released in 1974. Contrary to popular belief, the title of the album and its many lyrical themes were not inspired by author Graham Greene's novel of the same name, although Derek Shulman was aware of Greene's novel. Guitarist Gary Green has cited this album as his favourite by the band. Though a fan favourite, the album is also perhaps the most dissonant and musically complex of all Gentle Giant albums. The album was released in the US and Canada by Capitol Records, as would all Gentle Giant's albums for the remainder of the decade. The concept album focused on an individual who means to do good using political power. He finds himself tempted to abuse the power, as have all of those who have come befor...

In a Glass House About "In a Glass House": One of Gentle Giant's most popular albums (although the band themselves were not happy with it at the time, being made under pressure of Phil Shulman's departure), it was available in North America only as a rare import – both LP and CD – until 2004 when a digitally remastered CD was released. This was because their US label Columbia Records rejected the album as uncommercial. As a result Columbia dropped the band from the label which contractually allowed the band to take ownership of the original master recording and all rights to it. This cleared the way for the first "official" release of the title in the...
GENTLE GIANT - Interview - 1976 1. Yes it's been hard, going a long time and we're together even now. Why do you ask? Surely you know it! Isn't it clear just when and how. What can we tell you? At the beginning had no direction, any other way. After the fourth one, realisation, finding our road, the same as if today. 2. Well we all hear, everyone, no-one, not to not say, we like a lot. Want to be seen rock and roll music, Don't take us something that we're not. True it looks better, tide looks like turning, so all in all we feel we are alright. Yes we had troubles, much more than many, rather have none and do we think what's right. What are your plans, for the future now? And can you say who does the writing? How did you get -- who gave the name of the band? ...

GENTLE GIANT - Interview - 1976 1. I lost my head, it was not easy, unknown, unread, it wasn't easy, and each day, each night, wasn't wrong, nor right, I can't remember what I said I lost my head. 2. What will I feel maybe tomorrow, but time not real, hours I can borrow, so until for now, as long as how, I can't remember what I said I lost my head. (Part 2) 1. I lost my head, forget what I said, what's the use to try to deny it, I didn't think it would ever happen again, wondering why, once bitten, twice shy, never thought again would I try it, and even though maybe soon it would end, wanting to stop, but had to go on, give a little part of my person, and don't reflect, don't remember what I said, I was afraid and I stayed away making sure of my independenc...
This is Part One of a two-part interview I did with Gentle Giant front man Derek Shulman in support of the band's digital releases. In this segment we talked about why it took so long for these albums to come to digital formats; why a label chose not to release 'In A Glass House' in America; working with analog source tapes for digital re-masters; the challenges of singing very difficult melodies and harmonies in Gentle Giant; and what differentiated Gentle Giant from other bands marketed as progressive rock.
GENTLE GIANT - Interview - 1976 1. Isn't it strange, oh it's funny, working for years have no money, suddenly luck can smile on you and your life seems worth while to you. Chorus: Just how much can you spend, give it back in the end, and the time of your season, was no use, had no reason. 2. And you move, you go away and you can't come home not today. Spreading it out over the bad years, not for those men, they can't hear. Chorus: 3. Haven't had much in a long time, hoping that change is going to be mine. Don't want to go, I want to stay here, spreading it out over the bad years. Chorus:

The final album by this wonderful band. They certainly didn't finish with their best, but I really think this is an underrated album that deserves to be re-evaluated. Simpler, and rockier, but if you listen carefully enough, you can tell it's Gentle Giant!
At the dog park today, Wally made a new friend. They made awesome playmates.
And now, it is my great pleasure to present my chat about the GREATEST PROG RECORD EVER MADE!! Just joking, this is a pop album by a former prog band... And it's okay as long as you don't expect to hear traditional Gentle Giant.
