Yes, they did this with their fans (some of which are fairly well recognisable), very cool!

After seeing the early spread, I went with Schooldays. I love how it gets melancholy, and then rips back into the groove with the vibraphone. But Proclamation, His Last Voyage, Experience, and... all the others give it stiff competition.

Always thought after Nothing At All, Gentle Giant didn't do epics. Guess it's what constitutes an epic (length?).

His Last Voyage. 100%

What an odd, beautiful song that flows perfectly like nothing else.
Everything from the bass to the vocals is just incredible to me.
Levitating downwards,
atomic feedback scream.

In a Glass House.
...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag
that's a happy bag of lettuce
this car smells like cartilage
