Another release by British proggers Gentle Giant, this time with a concept made out of interviews the band had been in during the years. Questions from interviewer can be heard here and there on the album. And, yes, this is not music for the masses or hit lists, not even in the 70's! It's jazzy progressive rock with complex vocal arrangements and music with very weird and strange twists. At this time Gentle Giant toured with Sha Na Na, Yes and Jethro Tull. Do I like this? Well, it's not easaly accessable music, sometimes it's just to strange and crazy but at other times I crank up the volume, such as in Another Show, I lost my head and Empty City, songs that are somewhat more towards "normal" rock.
