GENTLE GIANT PROG PSYCH AKARMA TIMELESS 180G LP LIMITED 250 EX !!!

The band's second album is a major advance on its first, featuring superior singing, playing, and song writing, as well as a more unified sound, without sacrificing the element of surprise in the first record. Many of the melodies and even the riffs here (check out Gary Green's first guitar flourish on "Pantagruel's Nativity") have a pretty high haunt count, and all of the musicianship displays an elegance seldom heard even in progressive circles -- but the record also, amazingly enough, rocks really hard as well. Elements of hard rock and Gregorian chants mix freely and, amazingly enough, well throughout this album.

After the relatively lightweight Things May Come... Pete Brown and Piblokto! produced this much heavier rocker in 1971. 'Aeroplane Head Woman,' with its heavy guitar riff, could have come from Deep Purple and the title song, 'Thousands On A Raft,' with mock-serious lyrics and a very catchy chorus wouldn't have been out of place on Jack Bruce's Songs For A Tailor. The musicianship is excellent, particularly from the fine young guitarist Jim Mullen and respected percussionist Rob Tait. Brown's songwriting is, as always, lyrically amusing, clever, and just plain weird. Melodically it is as strong as Brown's previous two efforts and overall it is an excellent example of eccentric British rock music from the early '70s." Gatefold sleeve.
