Studio Album, released in 2006, Armenia

Al is Gentle Giant het bekendste geheim van de zeventiger jaren op prog gebied, iets uit Armenie had ik niet verwacht....
Dit instrumentale album kan misschien het best omschreven worden als Gentle Giant meets Jethro Tull in a folky way.
Voor GG-fans die het album nog niet kennen; beslist eens luisteren.


Their first and only album is a superb example of innovative, still classic instrumental prog rock. Most reviewers are raving about the superb opening track Water Spark. That is a truly genious piece of music and goes straight into Top Ten of the best instrumental prog rock pieces ever. The rest of the album follow this trend. Never dull, never cheap. Always playful and experimental. The two GENTLE GIANT tracks proves that. Oaksenham"s version of On Reflection is as good as the original version. Different, but still in the same class. 
The result is the very complex and melodic music on this album. This is truly symphonic prog. This is truly awesome. It is one of those albums you should have. I am thrilled about this album.
