Gentle Giant - Interview

Gentle Giant's eighth studio album on vinyl LP!

Remixed by Porcupine Tree's Steven Wilson!

Gentle Giant's eighth studio album Interview from 1976 lays claim to being the band's most underrated.

A superb follow-up to Freehand, the album showed the band's Progressive ambition undiminished and introduced a grittier, more direct "edge" to the music as well an "interview" / "band life" conceptual thread (with Sounds' writer Phil Sutcliffe as the "interviewer").

The band recorded Interview in its favored Advision Studios where in addition to the usual stereo version, the album was also mixed in 4-channel quadraphonic sound. It poked a little satirical fun at the state of the music industry and dissected the way a group's relationship with the rock press could either help or hinder their career.

Interview 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 Interview. Wilson's attention to detail and deep respect for the source material makes the album sound as fresh today as it did on first release.
