Gentle Giant - Interview Steven Wilson Remix - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

In 1977 Gentle Giant recorded their ninth studio album InchThe Missing Piece. Inch It was a time of change. Punk, disco and rap were altering the musical landscape and even this well-established progressive rock band were willing to explore new directions. Side one saw them experimenting with quirky pop (InchTwo weeks in SpainInch), a grandiose power ballad (InchI'm turning around'), syncopated funk (InchWho do you think you are?Inch) and even the punky aggression of InchBetcha thought we couldn't do it. InchNormal service was resumed on side two with some of their most sublime and intricate progressive stylings to date. It remains a polarizing effort amongst fans to this day, some bemused by it's diversity, others enchanted by it's versatility and sense of humor. The Missing Piece certainly proves that Gentle Giant could play anything they set their minds to. It was the last Gentle Giant album to chart in the USA. Award winning producer and musician Steven Wilson continues his association with the band, remixing the album in Dolby Atmos, Stereo and 5. 1 surround sound. In addition the digipak CD/Blu-ray version also contains an instrumental mix, the original 1977 stereo mix and videos for each track.

Interview was the eighth studio album of Gentle Giant and was released April 23rd, 1976. Stylistically it continued in the vein of their preceding album, InchFree HandInch released the year before. InchInterviewInch further displayed the eclectic and versatile nature of the band, from reggae influenced grooves to ethereal a cappella vocal passages and furiously complex rockers. Award winning producer and musician Steven Wilson has remixed InchInterviewInch in Dolby Atmos and 5. 1 surround sound. Wilsons attention to detail and deep respect for the source material makes the album sound as fresh today as it did on first . In addition, the original flat mix, original 1976 quad mix and an instrumental mix will all be included on a CD/Blu-ray.
