ULTRA RARE VINYL ~ORIGINAL~

Gentle Giant

Playing The Foole In Wonderland

...Wizardo309

............................................................................................

Very rare limited vinyl from some 30 years or more ago...chanced upon this one copy at a music convention -- as a wall feature item, no less!

Formed on the late 60's by the Shulmman brothers, GENTLE GIANT is known as the paradigmatic progressive rock band. With an uncomparable musicianship, they went as far as no one ever did into unexplored grounds in the progressive music, navigating over dissonant 20th-century classical chamber music, mediaeval vocal music, jazz and rock. The multi-intrumentation capabilities of the musicians gave such dynamic to their music, which set parameters to a whole coming generation up to these very days. They explored Moogs, Mellotrons and Fender Rhodes usage with such majesty! Not to mention other instruments like oboes, violins, cellos, horns among others.

The band was able to come across the 70's maintaining an outstanding level on their music, altering their style over the years and keeping the quality as only a few bands were able to do. Among their magnificent discography, all the albums from "Acquiring the Taste" through "Playing the Fool" are essential progressive rock releases (with the possible exception of "Interview"). This portion of the band's career would see a fittingly grand conclusion on the (rare) live "Playing the Fool in Wonderland" album, which is completely different from the known "playing The Foole" within the same name game... What more to say about the masters?
