In this special interview podcast, Archie revisits the music of Gentle Giant. Featured are selected tracks and a conversation with front man Derek Shulman. He shares his recollections of the band's music and his later career as a producer and signer of new bands for major record labels. Gentle Giant was never one of the archetypal Anglo prog groups who traded in pomp and circumstance. Eclectic, they were made up of mates with different musical tendencies, who came together for music-making that explored collective ideas in search of a group sound and style. The Gentle Giant catalog was released digitally for the first time in November of 2009 on iTunes and other digital outlets. The 7 albums will also be reissued on re-mastered CD along with a DVD of previously unreleased live footage beginning in early 2010.
