Music inspired by Gentle Giant

Hey R&R,
It's funny. People have been telling me about Spock's Beard and I listened to one CD (sorry, I don't remember which one) at a store once and somehow it did not strike a chord with me. Perhaps I listened to the wrong one. I love Echolyn's "As the World", and there are a few "GG" moments on that one too. I was proposing this CD because it's not by a known band, it's by online friends (I too have a tune on this one, so you can say I'm biased ), and there are some really good tunes there which I feel may be of interest to listeners of AM.

Sorry about that... I was just commenting on those particular two songs. "As The World" is in my top 10 records...the Nonsense song is off Suffocating the Bloom. About the Beard, that one song is just like GG.

Didn't mean to derail the original premise... if you could, send a private message to Jim Brennan, the program director...we love promo copies!

No Sweat! You just gave me a reason to play Suffocating the Bloom! I was not impressed with it when I got it. But then, I didn't like GG on first listen also, I guess that's just prog! Some things get to you right away, otheres take time. I used to love side 1 of UK's first LP. Hardly played side 2. Years later, I fell in love with side 2!

Thanks for the tip!

That's actually on "Danger Money", but what the hell.
