Gentle Giant - Interview (1976) (35th Anniversary Edition 2005)
Interview is Gentle Giant's last great album, here reissued in glittering state-of-the-art sound and with a bonus track appended. Even at this late date in the history of progressive rock, with most groups in the field either folding altogether or trimming their sails, Gentle Giant were busy coming up with songs built on strange (and strangely juxtaposed) tempos and harmonies -- indeed, there are shifts in tempo here that make anything on, say, ELP's Tarkus (where the choice of time signatures nearly blew the group apart) look tame. And it's all remastered for an up-close-and-personal experience of Kerry Minnear's keyboards (more diverse than ever), Ray Shulman's bass, and Gary Green's multiple guitars. The album has also been expanded with the inclusion of a live version of the title track from a July 1976 New York show -- the recording quality isn't quite ideal, and they haven't got quite the same command of this piece that they did of, say, "Experience" from In a Glass House, but it's still a helpful if not a revelatory addition...B.
