I first heard the band on the German radio in 1976 with "On Reflection" from the album "Freehand" and immediately fell in love!❤ Since the record dealer couldn't sell the "right" album (Freehand), I took "Interview" with me! By the way, it's the only album I know of that has a German book about it! I think it's even a thesis?! In any case, I haven't stopped loving and adoring Gentle Giant since then!

The first time I heard "Design" was my introduction to GG, the whole Interview album. A friend brought it over and we got stoned on weed, and we were very stoned by the time "Design" came on. From there, got my own copy and gradually came to really love it. It has a narrative structure of sorts, with an exposition in the third person before shifting to the first person reflecting on the passing of time and his dubious place in it. But there's no denouement. Just a stare into the abyss with the awful, rancorous epiphany that the "years drift by, never for me." Maybe it's time to break out the Sartre. As Derek posed the question, why would a band do such a thing? For that matter, why would Crimson do "Larks Tongue in Aspic" or Todd Rundgren do "Freak Parade"? I suppose because these things hadn't been done before. It was the '70s after all.

"Free Hand" and "Interview" were my introduction to Gentle Giant. They came into the home simultaneously. I was studying classical violin at the time. My brother always knew what to play me first when he introduced a new band or artist to me. In this case it was "On Reflection". Knowing nothing at all about the band, I listened to the albums as pure music and loved them both, but perhaps 'Interview' a little bit more. It was so extreme! Every track was a work of art. I love those albums to this day, and I owe Gentle Giant a great deal as a musician. Great video! Can't wait for part two.

Ray practically turned around and had another instrument. Never missed a note, never missed a beat and it all fit together like jigsaw pieces falling into place to form a masterpiece. The experience simply cannot be described, and so many people are simply incapable of understanding what they did. So many different lines simultaneously confuses the mind and it takes effort to comprehend their music. I truly believe that is why they were not much more popular than they were, but those of us who loved them ... LOVED THEM!

I remember reading this name Gentle Giant from time to time, but never heard anything from them on the radio or somewhere else - and none of my schoolfriends did either. In pop magazines I saw pictures of guys obviously having fun on stage, but dressed up like Robin Hood (especially Gary if I remember right) and playing similar funny "hoodian" instruments. So I absolutely couldn´t figure out what kind of music would come out of them. Then a friend recorded the whole album Free Hand from radio - that was possible back then - and I was totally stunned by the very first song "Just the same" already. It couldn´t be further away from what I´d expected which was nothing great. Some kind of upbeat Jazz-Rock with lyrics or what - never had heard anything like that. It took me a while to "work" through the rest of the album I admit, but finally I got it. They taught me a universe of music that was unknown to me, but I don´t wanna get too "pretentious" myself now. So I conclude with the simple fact that GG became my favourite band and music since then. Thanks guys!

I was introduced to progressive rock in 2002 by our flute player, Cheung Yiu Munn. He was then 18 and from Hong Kong...yet he was superbly knowledgeable about late 1960s and early 1970s progressive rock groups. Prior to meeting him, my love of music focused exclusively on baroque and 20th century classical works...and nothing else! Well, after sampling 2 or 3 tracks each of Jethro Tull, Yes, King Crimson, Genesis, The Family and Van Der Graff Generator (and only The Family really impressed me at the time) I listened to Gentle Giant and it happened to be this album. I could not believe what I heard! I listened to the entire album...then made a mug of tea, rolled a cigarette and listened to the whole album again. By the end of the month I had purchased ALL their studio albums (which means, of course, I had to endure the shabby pop pap of the final 3 which, though superbly played, are not impressive as music, at least compared to what came before it). From Giant to Interview there's not a single track I don't enjoy. Three Friends (especially Schooldays) and Octopus (especially Knots, Boys In The Band and Think Of Me With Kindness) are probably my favourites. Our own group, UNIT, began to explore progressive rock territory as a result of my acquaintance with all this music and our sound changed accordingly although we never sounded like Gentle Giant. How could we? I mean, how could any group sound like them? Splendid stuff.

Yes, there are two Derek verses in the remix, but what's even more interesting is that during the guitar solo the drums don't sync up like the rest of the recording.
