12 Steps Beyond Prog #216
Gentle Giant has not received much need attention on this show.
Shame...
Distracted with all of the other "mainstream" prog offerings we frequently forget about these prog hero's.
And why not? The band last 2 albums were mostly awful in their attempt to replicate the success of their contemporaries Genesis.
They too decided to streamline their songs and craft poppies.
They pooped.
But over the last few year there have been these Gentle Giant remixes by Steve Wilson.
These are begging to be heard. Tonight we will focus our attention for a complete hour and tour the mind of the Gentle Giant.
Why not?
Your not doing all that much at midnight are you?
Good it is decided, tune in tonight at midnight:
91.1 and 107.1 Portland
99.9 Vancouver
And XRAY.FM where the streams cross.
