A classic, available again...
Gilgamesh was Canterbury keyboardist Alan Gowen's first professional band that he led, before he joined National Health. This was their 2nd & last released during their lifetime, featuring Hugh Hopper who first worked with Alan here, and the roots of their later collaboration on Two Rainbows Daily can be heard in parts. This is their most mature & best effort! The charming and wonderful but very obviously Hatfield homages of the first album have given way to Alan's own voice here. If you are interested in Alan's work, this album is a must-own, as it contains some really great compositions and playing from him as well as Phil Lee-guitar, Hugh Hopper-bass and Trevor Tompkins-drums.
“Beloved album from UK jazz-prog legends. A dazzling jazz odyssey returns! Led by highly skilled keyboardist and composer Alan Gowen, Gilgamesh features a lineup of extraordinary talents, including guitarist Phil Lee, Soft Machine alumnus Hugh Hopper on bass, and drummer Trevor Tomkins. Together, they create an exceptional fusion of jazz and progressive rock, making this album an essential listen for any aficionado of the genre. Another Fine Tune You've Got Me Into takes listeners on a rich musical journey, from the delicate nuances of 'Darker Brighter' to the epic and emotive sounds of 'Bobberty - Theme From Something Else' and the acoustic beauty of Lee's solo piece 'Waiting'. With lush chords on electric piano, nimble melodies on synthesizer and jazz guitar, and subtle yet complex rhythmic shifts, this album is a stunning display of precision and artistry from some of Britain's most accomplished musicians. Newly remastered to captivate both seasoned fans and new listeners, this reissue of Another Fine Tune You've Got Me Into stands as a testament to the brilliance of Gilgamesh and the enduring appeal of the Canterbury sound.”
