Following successful tours with notable bands like Jethro Tull and Yes, Gentle Giant emerged as a leading force in progressive rock.
The album features a stunning blend of musical styles, from the intricate vocal harmonies in ‘On Reflection’ to the medieval-inspired ‘Talybont’ and the energetic ‘Time To Kill’.
