			I am glad to hear that some people knows
	about the best rock that we had in the seventies. It is
	sad to see all these great bands turning to commercial or
	dying.

			Gentle Giant is, I am convince, the most
	progressive of all the; Tull, genesis, yes, uk, zappa,
	camel, banco,... The musical research is incredible. I had the chance
	to see them live in Montreal, with "civilian" the last album
	which was a try to reach the american commercial rock, but was
	alsoi a retrospective of  some of the classics. The best album
	is probably "octopus" and "in the glass house" (import) very
	rare album. Also both "Three fiends", "aquaring the taste" and
	some others more or less interesting like "interview",
	"power and the glory", and "the missing piece", "Giant for a day".

			At the beginning the band as three brothers, the
	Shulman's, Rick Minnear who has a very high degree in orchestration.

			The split of the band is the result of a breakdown
	of Minnear cause by this new direction.
