Giant for an Hour by Various Musicians Inspired by Gentle Giant

I'm very excited about bringing this project out beyond the boundaries of On Reflection to any prog lovers in the world who happen to find this while searching. These are high quality professionally duplicated CDRs and the project was mastered professionally at Studio McBuddha by Dan Bornemark.

Musicians:

Joe Brozio: guitars and bass Markus Hoffmeister: drums, percussion

Notes:

Recorded at Arthouse Studio, Germany. Engineered by Torsten Polscheit. Strongly influenced by John McLaughlin, one of my heroes. I think this shows many GG-related techniques: tricky rhythm changes; melodies presented after each other, and in the end played all together - and I think it sounds good.
