Outstanding Progressive Rock shine

After the founding fathers progressive rock debut in the heavy, but all respects creative phase of her work, it was possible also the elemental-original, young group "Gentle Giant" a work away from the simple-minded radio use to bring to the market, whose concise, yet rather unbalanced but steadily growing beyond itself own style an important and formative decade of this rock marked Arabah whose intricate rhythms is now as then yes generally met with only too happy to greater enthusiasm or rejection. Gentle Giant disregard on their self-titled debut rather the general "rules" of prog rock and incorporate more unusual sound experiments and complex rhythm structures in their compositions, so that a wider range of their sound universe is already in front out in the cold.

Musically is considering its a high-quality mix of the trendsetters "Emerson, Lake & Palmer", "King Crimson" and the - still - rather less prominent groups "Genesis" and "Jethro Tull" whose decade formative albums historically all one too much attention is given to, and without whose existence the prog rock would have been unthinkable in its present form, commanded. Anspieltipps this musical akzentuell very interesting, outstanding gloss piece totally unnecessary because all the songs contained herein should say one or the other fan something anyway or their musical class not required by any recommendations on my part unnecessarily further explanation.

"Gentle Giant's" debut on the same wavelength with the important albums "In the Court of the Crimson King", "Emerson, Lake & Palmer" and "Trespass". A partly confused, but powerful music piece with nuanced riffs and interesting composition unusual sound experiments. 5+ star!

Conclusion: See heading. 5 Stars!
