IN A GLASS HOUSEGENTLE GIANT (Inglaterra)Edição original: WWAProdutor(es): Gentle Giant, Gary Martindiscogs allmusic wikipedia "Tens que levar esse disco", dizia-me o Fernando Magalhães na casa do "vendedor". Esta história já tem mais de 10 anos e o "vendedor" era um melómano que havia perdido o interesse na extensa discografia prog (e não só) da década de 70 que colecionara. "In a Glass House"

Sounds of 2011 features many of the top songs and artists we've written about this year. We can never fit in all the ones we would have liked to, but Crimson and I took on the daunting task of summarizing a year of exceptional music and discovery. Keep yapping at us on Facebook and Twitter if you like what you hear. Chief Alexander O'Neal Interview [...]
It would be a shame if Gentle Giant did not receive another (or first) assessment, particularly for would-be fans who simply have not had the opportunity to experience their music. For all the critical savaging Yes, ELP and Rush took in the early-to-mid '70s, they at least had the devotion of the masses (then, now). And no matter how much or how unjustly they were accused of mindless noodling, they could nod and wink all the way to the bank. Top Ten records can buy a lot of noodles (then, now). So whatever else one can or should say [...]

I recently stumbled across the U.K.'s Gentle Giant whilst sifting through the nebulous annals of 70s prog rock, and this track from the uniquely diverse quintet serves as a reminder of the zany (and awesome) depths that music has taken through certain pockets in time. Their sound is complex, multi-instrumental, and extremely elaborate in structure and orchestration while transmitting a cohesive accessibility within a very rock-heavy sound. All in all, it's a great sound, and you've gotta love the drummer all decked out in Oakland A's gear. [...]

Martyn's been a bit quite of late, but with the greatness of his debut album "Great Lengths" still fresh in our memory, he's back with this Tiga remix. Taking the original and coating it in a smokey garage vibe with melancholy strings and atmospherics a-plenty, it's a brilliant piece of work packed with enough sub bass to work just as well in a dark club at 1AM as sitting at home on a rainy Sunday afternoon. Available at Boomkat . Tiga - Gentle Giant (Martyn rmx)
Ciao! de Tiga ha generado una cantidad de Remixes increible, pareceria que hay uno por ahi para cada persona que quizás no le termino de convencer la original y podria darle una segunda vida.

Hoy les dejamos con el primero, para que se hundan [...]
Last weekend the Bethesda Writer's Center hosted a fine-cut screening of a locally produced music documentary called Romantic Warriors: A Progressive Music Saga . Audience members got a first look at (and later a chance to critique) the year-long effort to document what the filmmakers suggest are the remaining few musicians of a genre with a questionable future. Progressive rock, which features long-form expression of a musical theme through various instruments, has a strong undercurrent of independent support among fans, especially in the Northeast, owing to the geographical make-up of the region and its high population density.

Maybe you guys have heard of Gentle Giant , and maybe you haven't. If you've heard of them, though, you're probably a huge fan; they're that kind of band. And, if you haven't heard of them, guess what, as per the above premises you are now a huge fan. And since you're a huge fan, you'll be thrilled to know I scored an interview with frontman Derek Shulman . How exciting is that? I found out about them in high school and have been a pretty rabid fan since then, the kind of fan who buys the import [...]

The last family to live in my new-to-me apartment left a set of reasonably expensive speakers and a receiver, and a friend picked up a new turntable and gave me his old one. I've finally got a way to play records. Emphasis on finally , man; I'll tell you, I couldn't wait to play scratchy thirty-year-old dinner plates you have to physically flip over every twenty minutes. The only true positive is also a negative: I simply cannot resist the urge to scratch them like Kid Koala . Let's own up to it: vinyl is an [...]

In the town of Worms, Germany there once lived a pious man of the name of Bezalel to whom a son was born on the first night of Passover. This happened in the year 5273 after the creation of the world [1579 common era], at a time when the Jews all over Europe were suffering from cruel persecutions. The nations in whose midst the children of Israel were dwelling constantly accused them of ritual murder. The Jews, their enemies pretended, used the blood of Christian children in the preparation of their Passover bread; but the [...]
