Gentle Giant - The Power and The Glory (2014) [Blu-ray] {Alucard}

Following the masterful In A Glass House and preceding the band's commercial apex Freehand, The Power And The Glory is a gem amongst gems, mixing Gentle Giant's restless energy and invention, with beautiful melodies and potent (complex) Rock riffage. This digipak cd/blu-ray edition features 2014 stereo and 5.1 mixes by Steven Wilson, a flat transfer of the original mix, plus instrumental mixes and two bonus tracks. The blu-ray is NTSC, Region 0.

A brand new mix in both high resolution stereo and 5.1 surround sound of this classic album from one of the most gifted and ambitious but perhaps also most underrated of the original wave of seventies progressive rock bands. For many (including Steven) The Power and the Glory from 1974 is their masterpiece. The remix was done from the master tapes at 96/24 and this is the 2 disc Blu-Ray/CD edition on the band’s own label Alucard. Also includes bonus tracks of the non-album title-track (originally released as a single), and an alternate take of Aspirations.

The Blu-Ray also includes animated videos for the whole album, and exclusive instrumental mixes.
