From Loudersound.
Steven Wilson has remixed Gentle Giant‘s 1976 album Interview, and the title track has been released as a new single and video.
The album is being reissued through Chrysalis Records on June 16 on 180g vinyl, while the CD/Blu-ray version includes Wilson’s Dolby Atmos and 5.1 surround sound remixes, as well as the original 1976 stereo mix, the original 1976 quad mix, instrumental mixes, and custom visuals for each track.
Interview was the band’s eighth studio album and was originally released on April 23 1976. The album was a concept album conceived as a radio interview. Three of the tracks integrate brief “interview” sections which were staged in the studio, featuring then Sounds writer Phil Sutcliffe.
A special limited sky blue coloured vinyl version of the Steven Wilson remix will also be available.
Co-founding bassist and composer Ray Shulman sadly passed away earlier this month aged 73. Brother Derek said, “I was with him until the end as he bravely battled a long illness. At least I know he is now at peace.” A full tribute to Ray will appear in the next issue of Prog Magazine.

GENTLE GIANT Live - Playing The Fool (1977 UK 9-track double vinyl LP on the green Chrysalis label, the official live album released after the band's 8th album 'Interview' featuring some superb highlights from the first eight albums showcased in the band's highly accomplished and unique way of brilliantly modifying their tracks for live performance - as much due to their continuing innovation to the sheer complexity of the original studio version. Including the excellent 'Excerpts From Octopus' and ablistering amalgamation of 'Peel The Paint' & 'I Lost My Head' demonstrating just one of the many clever marriages of tracks for their astonishing multi-instrumental live sets. The gatefold picture sleeve which has a great inner spread design using a constellation to map the band's tour comes complete with the hard to find booklet. The sleeve has only minor wear and all discs remain in near as new condition. Overall a stunning copy and a stunning performance CTY1133)

GENTLE GIANT Acquiring The Taste (Rare 1971 UK first press 8-track vinyl LP on the Vertigo 'swirl' label - This album took the band into more experimental & darker areas but is still their own recognisable sound - a rich blend of hard rock & orchestration - with hints of influences from King Crimson and Van Der Graaf Generator. Complete with the poly-lined 'swirl' inner and lyrics printed across the inside, the gatefold picture sleeve has some light shelfwear scuffing to the edges / corners and has a vintage price sticker attached to the front, while also displays some spots of age discolouration but its pretty damn good considering it was never laminated. With just a few light signs of play visible, the vinyl remains in fantastic Excellent condition for its over FIFTY years. Now hard to find in any condition!)
