    A Multi-Faceted, Sharp-Edged Work
  

*by S***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 30, 2001*

In the lyric-inclusive liner notes of this long-awaited CD re-release, Geir Hasnes writes that he considers "In A Glass House" the "primary gemstone of the progressive rock era".  I guess that means he likes it.Looking more at the big picture of this remarkable and grossly under-appreciated ensemble, one would be hard pressed to decide which album, if any, were their best.  "Glass House" certainly appeared during a peak era of the group, immediately preceded by the amazing "Octopus" and followed by the equally wonderful "Power & the Glory" and "Free Hand" releases.  If anything, "Glass House" is a great example of GG's creative audacity, though maybe not the most focussed work of their output.The album consists of four longer, high-energy, varied works punctuated by two shorter, arrangementally spare pieces.  "An Inmates Lullabye" is probably the most eccentric composition this group has recorded, a truly schizoid lullabye performed entirely on percussive instruments.  In contrast, "A Reunion" is a gentle ballad done on strings (multi-track violin and bass all done by Ray Shulman), tenderly vocalized by keyboardist Kerry Minnear.  The rest of the pieces showcase lead singer Derek Shulman and the band's trademark medieval/funk hybrid style which involves richly textured, developmental, deliriously syncopated and edgy rock.Overall production is very clean, a quality appreciably noticable in digitally remastered form.  Aside from the slight presence of some tape hiss from the effects-sparing original, this is the clean, crisp release that this collection was intended to be heard as.  My vinyl release was not only riddled with pops and rumbles from day one, it was also slighly off center; hearing the sustained organ sections on "Way of Life" is virtually revelatory, almost takes getting used to the purity of it.  Highest praise to the remastering crew for bringing the brilliance of the orginal to sparkling life today, something that unfortunately can't be said about some other CD re-releases (early Genesis, for example).  These guys even cared enough to add two bonus live tracks (GG's albums were always a bit on the short side, a fan's common criticism) and resurrect the original packaging, right down to the cellophane "window" and the black jacket texturing!  If only all deserving recorded archives could get this kind of treatment.A great listen to one of the more ambtious, hard-working and just plain fun prog groups to emerge from Europe from the early 70s, though probably for a more exclusive audience.  As their Giant mascot observed, from the first album: "the gentlest music ..... apart from thunderstorms."

    A GREAT, IMAGINATIVE BAND � IN THEIR PRIME
  

*by L***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 30, 2003*

The version of this I have is a re-issue of a re-issue - the original album (1973), GLORIOUSLY remixed, packaged in a miniature reproduction of the original lp sleeve, with two bonus live tracks from 1974 & 1976.  The second of the live tracks, `In a glass house', is a pretty muddy, echo-y recording - but why quibble?  This album is one of the best of the era from a prog band.Gentle Giant were a band of extremely creative, talented multi-instrumentalists - no one played only one instrument, and seeing them juggle parts in concert was a real treat.  Critics have accused them over the years of being `cold' and `emotionless' - nothing could be further from the truth.  It's easy to hear how much fun they're having with this complex music - and if you ever had the opportunity to see them perform live, it was easy to see as well.  None of the musically ambidextrous goings-on were performed just for the sake of showing off - their music is well thought-out, played with abandon and perfection at the same time, accompanied by intelligent and thoughtful lyrics.  Every single member of the band has a huge part to contribute - nothing is left to chance, and it's as fun for the listener to hear it all come together as it must have been for the band to perform it.I've played versions of this album for people over the years who have never heard of the band - they've never failed to come away from the experience being impressed - it's jaw-droppingly good. This is a classic of the genre - and a must-have for any true collector.
