 Notes & Reviews
 
 
Gentle Giant played an off-beat variety of progressive rock, probably a little ahead of its time. Although I find them a little boring at times, I will say they had individuality, good musicianship, and well mixed records. I would rank =Acquiring the Taste= as the best of the lot.
- Carrie Litsey, 03/13/1998, USA

Full title is: Acquiring the Taste


Only one band could mix Gregorian chant and hard rock (okay, two, the Yardbirds did it), and that was Gentle Giant, and never better than on this, their second record, released by Vertigo in 1971. Featuring such masterpieces as Pantagruel's Nativity and Edge of Twilight.
