Legendary Progressive Rock band Gentle Giant to release the 2023 Steven Wilson‘s remix of their eight album “Interview” on June 16, 2023. The band also announced the release also with a short video, watch it through the YouTube player below:
“Interview” was the eighth studio recorded album of Gentle Giant and was released April 23rd 1976. The line up on the album is Derek Shulman, Ray Shulman, Gary Green, Kerry Minnear and John “Pugwash” Weathers. The album has also the participation of ‘Sounds’ writer Phil Sutcliffe as the ‘interviewer’. The band had completed a year of nonstop touring throughout Europe and North America promoting the highly successful “Free Hand” album. Despite having no real down time, the band felt inclined to write and record the follow up to “Free hand” without having any time to reflect on its success. This may have influenced both the direction and attitude of the album, hence its somewhat cynical concept.
Award winning producer and musician Steven Wilson has now remixed “Interview” in Dolby Atmos and 5.1 surround sound. The Porcupine Tree guitarist and highly regarded solo artist has long been a fan of the band, noting them as a primary influence on his own work. Wilson’s painstaking attention to detail, deep respect for the source material and keen tonal range makes the album sound as fresh today as it did on first release. In addition to the 2023 remixes, the original 1976 stereo mix, original 1976 quad mix, instrumental mixes, and custom visuals for each track are all included in the CD/Blu-Ray version. The 2023 remix is available on 180g black vinyl, with a limited edition sky blue color vinyl variant.
