	Gentle Giant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Ground and Sky review - Gentle Giant - self-titled
		Gentle Giant's first recording — like the debuts by numerous other prog bands in 1970, Year One post-In The Court of the Crimson King — is formative but not too far removed musically from their later, better-known albums.
		Gentle Giant's first release is a mixture of rock, blues, and the progressive music the band would be known for.
		Gentle Giant was never a band that you can pin down to a specific sound, and they continued to evolve throughout their career.

	Gentle Giant
		This explains why Gentle Giant have never found a mass audience: they never managed to make the big commercial breakthrough, and not even any progressive rock fan is aware of their existence and importance in the first place.
		It seems as if Gentle Giant's only aim of being present onstage was to show to everybody that yeah, they did have the galls to play all these miriads of instruments and never make any mistakes in weaving the excesses of their arrangements into the already complex enough main stem of the melody.
		Gentle Giant were one of these prog bands that preferred to try and 'mainstreamline' their patented sound in the light of the so-called 'punk revolution' rather than to simply disband or to bravely go on with no regards for total loss of commercial success.

		Gentle Giant also gave out a Toy Fair exclusive Bust Up Blue Clone Trooper Lieutenant to their guests, a small nod to the Summer' 03 convention exclusive Blue Clone Bust.

	GENTLE GIANT
		Gentle Giant is one of the (sometimes overlooked) cornerstones of progressive rock, along with King Crimson, Genesis and Yes.
		As Gentle Giant -- with the addition of keyboardist Kerry Minnear and guitarist Gary Green, plus several drummers -- they pursued loftier musical goals, creating their own unique sound and approach (and one which has inspired countless bands since then).
		Gentle Giant were known for jumpy, angular melodic lines and rich counterpoint.

	GENTLE GIANT Octopus reviews and MP3
		Gentle Giants sound is comprised of rock music, fused with classical music, medieval music, and jazz, and even some folk here and there, all in the typical, frantic, Gentle Giant style.
		Gentle Giant doesn't need time to develop a tune, they jump right in the heart of the matter, and before you've grown accustomed to the rhythm and the melodie of a segment it changes into something faster, slower, or just completely different.
		Gentle Giant was one of the greatest progressive rock bands ever, and this album can serve almost perfectly as a definition of this musical genre.

	PROGRESSIVEWORLD.NET: REVIEWS BY CLAYTON WALNUM (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
		That is, on this, their first album, you can hear many of the elements that would eventually gel into the band that Gentle Giant was to become.
		However, the knotted arrangements that would become Gentle Giant's calling card were yet to appear on their debut.
		The first track, "Giant," is the most complex piece on the album, beginning with a quiet organ intro that bursts into Derek Shulman's nearly shouted verses, separated by carefully timed stops and dual guitar and organ parts.

		Gentle Giant was born out of the ruins of Simon Dupree & the Big Sound, an R&B-based outfit led by brothers Derek, Ray, and Phil Shulman.
		In 1970, Gentle Giant signed to the Vertigo label, and their self-titled first album -- a shockingly daring work mixing hard rock and full electric playing with classical elements -- came out later that year.
		Gentle Giant released Free Hand, their most commercial album, in 1976, but then followed it up with the jarringly experimental Interview.

		Sounding much like a superhero from one of his movie projects, Karl Meyer, president of Gentle Giant Studios (Burbank, California, USA), tells of his ability to re-create real-world objects in digital form or bring data from the digital realm into physical being.
		It was less than a decade ago that Gentle Giant was solely using traditional modeling processes such as hand-sculpture from wax, a very craft-intensive and time-consuming task.
		With the 3D Systems’ solid imaging technology firmly in place at Gentle Giant, Meyer is confident in the company’s ability to "always deliver what the client wants" without the fear of having to "slave in a manual way" to get the results his clients demand.

	Sea of Tranquility - The Web Destination for Progressive Music!
		Gentle Giant's fourth album Octopus is considered by many progressive rock purists to be one of the bands best, and a classic in the genre.
		It also happened to be my first Gentle Giant purchase, and upon hearing the opening track "The Advent of Panurge", I knew I was listening to a unique band.
		The gentle, medieval vocals, whispy guitar lines, and vintage keyboards that lead into this track are quite breathtaking, and as the band sets into high gear, this complex assault of instrumentation hits you.

		But Gentle Giant's music has stood the test of time, and new generations are as entranced by their intricate sound as were audiences of 30 years ago.
		By 1979 Gentle Giant was in trouble; punk and new wave had exploded clearing the decks of most prog rock bands unless you were Yes or ELP.

	Gentle Giant: Giant on the Box
		Mixing awe-inspiring feats of vocal and instrumental prowess with an aggressive rock edge and a distinct baroque sensibility, Gentle Giant created music that was challenging and yet managed to be completely approachable.
		With the resurgence of interest in progressive rock in recent years, sales of Gentle Giant records are still surprisingly strong; one reason, no doubt, that this DVD project came about.
		Which means that Giant on the Box will serve as both a wonderful piece of nostalgia for those of us lucky enough to have seen them in their day, and the perfect document for newcomers who, sadly, will never have the stimulating opportunity of experiencing them in person.

		"Chang, the Giant, was buried yesterday at Bournemouth Cemetery in the same grave as his wife, who died in the early part of this year.
		Investigating further, we discovered that the Giant was Chang Woo Gow and his remarkable height of nearly eight feet, made him, we believe, the World's tallest man. He came to Bournemouth in 1890, like many others of the time, hoping for a cure to his suspected TB.
		Day, who had been summoned by Chang to be beside him at his deathbed, as "a gentle giant, a giant of giants, great of stature, but with the kindest nature and a heart as true and tender as ever beat".
