Gentle Giant was one of the great progressive rock bands of the 1970's. They created a dozen albums over a 10-year period, filled with complex and wonderous music that is still earning them new fans even today.

"...the fact that the music of GG has engaged our own interests for so long after the dissolution of the band, when so many other people have never heard of them, is an excellent example of quality prevailing over the various flavors-of-the-month which have come since then."

-- Jonathan Roberts, On-Reflection, August 10, 1995.
