Interview is an underestimated album, it is not their best work, but still a worty addition to anyone's collection.

One of my favorite prog bands, hands down!
The Octopus-Interview period especially displays some of the best prog has to offer in a very creative and diverse way. Their earliest albums are all excellent as well, notably Acquiring The Taste.

I only got to see them twice in concert and I will never forget it. Both amazing shows.

Great, thx for the tip.  The first and last song seems to be the best ones with some sweet stuff in the middle.  (and the cover artwork turned out to be not what i tought it was  )

Acquring the Taste's cover is ... eh, but the music is really "delicious".

Even if "Acquiring the Taste" is not on a par with "Octopus" or "In a Glass House", the opener, "Pantagruel's Nativity", is an incredible song, one of GG's very best. The vocal harmonies are something out of this world.
