Topic: Bands that sound like Gentle Giant, from '90 to 13 Posted: March 06 2013 at 15:06
I discover this band just now and i wonder if exist any bands that is much influenced from Gentle Giant of "Free hands era" the much accessible sound of GG. I love the funky/fusion songs, and don't like when the bands tends to be much exsperimental inserting weird instruments like cello, violin, horn(horrible) and vibraphone.
The cooler thing is the phaser clavinet attack on "free hands", really new sound for 1975
There's a 70s South American classic called Terrenio Baldio by the band bearing the same name. I know it's not from the period you are asking for, but if you enjoy the clavinet and whole vibe of Free Hand, my guess is that you're going to enjoy this one as well.

This might be reaching a bit, but I was listening to Crush of Night from Izz and it has some wonderful vocal harmonies, not to mention a few guest parts by the one and only Gary Green.
