Hi fellas. I'm 14 years old and from Brazil (unfortunately)

GG strikes again with marvelous music. Though ACQUIRING THE TASTE it's better, OCTOPUS is even more complex, but not with the same charm and atmosphere. "Advent Of Panurge" it's perfection at its top. Lock at the time division on this track! This is probably the craziest composition of GG. "Knots" contains an unique vibraphone - extremely well recorded and executated - and an unique vocal harmony - just with three or four voices! I mean, on the Giant In A Box DVD, they did that live on stage ( ! ) "The Boys In The Band" it's one of the best GG instrumentals ever. You can't even say what they are exactly doing... The not-so-famous "Raconteaur Troubador" it's an excellent track. Ray's violin it's just so perfect!!! "A Cry For Everyone" has an tremandous fast keyboard-guitar work. Who says OCTOPUS it's a bad album (as nobody here did) shoul listen it again, and again, and again.
