THE POWER AND THE GLORY

"The Power & The Glory" was my first GENTLE GIANT album I ever purchased and remember being so addicted to this album playing it over and over again and again. GENTLE GIANT unleash all of their "GIANT'isms" with superb complex and highly syncopated vocal harmony and contrasts. "The Power & The Glory" delivers some pretty sporty rhythms and jazz-prog interludes. Songs are exceptionally well written offering great sound contrasts and complex mood and melodies. This is highly clever music which never remains static for too long and is always moving and changing. "Playing The Game" is perhaps my favorite GENTLE GIANT tune of all time which is the highlight on the album in my opinion.
