Glad to hear I wasn't the only one who liked that "weird" music. When I saw them, I was impressed that they all could play any of the instruments. They did several rotations between instruments during the concert. Some of the members reformed a few years back, but I think I saw something about 1 or 2 of them passing away. They were way ahead of their time and were one of the best at using counterpoint. I think I'll have to go pull out my albums and give them a listen again.There are many Gentle Giant aficionados here on Talk Bass.
I first saw them as a replacement opening act for Humble Pie in 1973 and I was blown away and immediately a long time fan. They opened with the "Advent Of Panurge" and I never heard anything quite like it before or since.
