Gentle Giant – In’terview (2023 Steven Wilson Remix) (1976/2023) [FLAC 24bit/96kHz]

mqs — Sun, 11 Jan 2026 05:53:14 +0000

In’terview was the 8th album by Gentle Giant, originally released in April 1976. Having toured non-stop with artists like Jethro Tull, Yes, Frank Zappa etc. the band had gone from stregnth to strength. By the time of their previous album, Free Hand, the bad had become a headliner in their own right.

In’terview ultilizes complex classical chord and time patterns, together with hard rock, blues, jazz and even medieval melodies, set them apart from other progressive groups of their time or since. Interview was a concept album based around an imaginary interview with the band, giving them the opportunity to satirize the music industry and its relationship with the media.

Award winning producer and musician Steven Wilson has added his delicate touch in remixing In’terview. His tonal range and painstaking attention to sound quality make In’terview sound as fresh today as it did on first release.

Gentle Giant followed up their acclaimed album In A Glass House with The Power And The Glory, which now has been released as your choice of either aCD / Blu-ray or a CD / DVD edition featuring new stereo and 5.1 mixes by Steven Wilson, along with a flat transfer of the original mix, plus instrumental mixes of the album and two bonus tracks.

The new mixes for CD and surround sound contain the following tracks: Proclamation, So Sincere, Aspirations, Playing the Game, Cogs in Cogs, No God’s a Man, The Face, and Valedictory. Plus bonus tracks: The Power and the Glory and Aspirations (out-take). The NTSC-region 0 Bluray includes the full Album with Videos in either 24bit / 96k Stereo LPCM or DTS 5.1 Master Audio.

Delving straight into the surround mix, I find the Power and the Glory to be one of the finest Wilson has done from an overall perspective. Stunning sound quality is accompanied by an excellent balance between simple rear channel ambient information and some stuff flying around the room. A characteristic of Wilson’ surround mixes is to spread the reflections and echoes that you would hear off the rear and side walls among the surround channels. This is done with great measure here, keeping as faithful to the original stereo mix, while also creating a new soundstage for the multi-channel mix. Then for some snazzyness there are some 5.1 fireworks, with distinct guitar and keyboard parts emanating from the rear channels, along with some nice spatial separation.

What is lacking, and originated from the original multi-track studio recordings, is an extremely flat and flabby drum sound. While the tom-toms are spread nicely across the front channels, the acoustics of the drum booth cause the kit to sound really boxy. They can become a bit overpowering in the mix, and somewhat degrade from the overall enjoyment of the album. Having said this, during the era of these recordings it was not uncommon to hear drum kits recorded like this. In high resolution, and certainly in surround, it just becomes more apparent that they are a weak part in the overall mix.

Both the Blu-ray and DVD versions contain animated videos with the lyrics that play with the music. These are done very tastefully and complement the music very well. Of course if you don’t want to see the videos, just turn off your monitor! Hats off to musicians Gary Green on guitars, Kerry Minnear playing keyboards, cello, and singing vocals, Derek Shulman on vocals and saxes, Ray Shulman hammering out the bass, violin, and vocals, and John Weathers hitting the drums, percussion, and singing vocals Power and the Glory is a fantastic album worthy of inclusion in any progressive music lovers collection. Let’s hope this reissue series continues with “In A Glass House,” my personal favorite!

Strongly recommended for surround sound and high fidelity audio enthusiasts, along with fans of Gentle Giant and prog rock.

UK prog rockers Gentle Giant‘s fourth album, Octopus has been remixed (in part) by Steven Wilson for an expanded CD+Blu-ray audio reissue. The new edition of the 1972 album sees Wilson remix five of the eight tracks for stereo and 5.1 surround sound (this is due to missing multi-tracks). The remaining three tracks (Advent of Panurge, Raconteur Troubadour and The Boys in the Band) are the original stereo remixes on the CD and on the blu-ray have been processed through Penteo upmix software for 5.1 surround sound. Steven did this for Broken on Tears For Fears‘ Songs From The Big Chair, if you remember. Both discs also include a bonus track of a 16 minute live version of Extracts from Octopus, again newly mixed into stereo and 5.1 surround sound.
As well as the album tracks in 96/24 Stereo LPCM & DTS 5.1 Master Audio, the blu-ray element of this set contains a flat transfer of the original 1972 mix, and instrumental versions of the five stereo remixes, all in high resolution.

Following the highly successful releases of the Steven Wilson remixes of ‘The Power And The Glory’ and ‘Octopus’, Steven has now remixed a specially curated selection of songs and compositions from the band’s first three albums (Giant, Acquiring the Taste, Three Friends) presented in both 5.1 surround sound and stereo. Only a few songs from each of the band’s first three albums are known to exist as multi-tracks, with the rest presumably lost, and it is these nine tracks – plus the previously unreleased pre-debut song ‘Freedom’s Child’ – that have been remixed by Steven Wilson for this very special release.

‘Three Piece Suite’ includes the songs ‘Giant’, ‘Nothing At All’ and ‘Why Not’ from the first album ‘Giant’; ‘Pantagruel’s Nativity’, ‘The House, The Street, The Room’ from the second album ‘Acquiring The Taste’; and ‘Schooldays’, ‘Peel the Paint’, ‘Mr. Class And Quality’ and ‘Three Friends’ from the album ‘Three Friends’. The previously commercially unreleased song ‘Freedom’s Child’ is from the first recording sessions with legendary producer Tony Visconti. The liner notes contain an essay by noted journalist Anil Prasad, in which Gentle Giant’s members reflect upon the writing and recording sessions. Furthermore, Steven Wilson and Tony Visconti share their observations about the early days of this unique collection of timeless music from one of progressive rock’s most influential bands.

Tony Visconti: “I was a very optimistic young man in 1970… I thought music like theirs would save the world from mediocrity. I couldn’t wait to sink my teeth in it.”

Steven Wilson: “There was never a question of trying to outdo the original mixes, but offer different perspectives on them.”

This Blu-Ray + CD Digipak contains the new Steven Wilson mixes both in 96/24 PCM and in DTS 5.1 Surround Sound Master Audio. The Blu-ray also includes animated videos for the Steven Wilson mixes, instrumental mixes of all tracks, as well as flat transfers of all three complete albums in their original mixes.
