This CD by Gentle Giant is one of their best efforts. With a beautiful cover designed by Roger Dean. The music on this CD is spectacular! Treat Me with Kindness is my favorite song!

My interest in Gentle Giant was recently rekindled through the emergence of a reincarnation of the band, called 'Three Friends' who feature 3 of the original members in their lineup. Though I have the albums on vinyl, I thought it would be nice to get them in a modern format. The music itself exemplifies the best qualities of prog rock, with a bit of jazz, folk, & other traditional music mixed in. Time signatures in some songs are constantly changing, making the music complicated but interesting to listen to, while other tracks hark back to ancient times with a madrigal quality... This is strange & beautiful music, & though some tracks are very much of their time, others still sound fresh & exciting after 30-odd years. If you're unfamiliar with this band, I'd recommend giving this album a go;- it really speaks of what the 70's were all about!Read full review
If you like clever 'Art School' progressive rock music and lyrics (for instance, Genesis) then this a very good album to introduce you to the 70's group from Portsmouth. There is a good mixture of musical styles (a definite folk influence in more than one track, and a medieval, madrigal style in others) contrasting vocal themes and thought-provoking lyrics
