The 10 track comp for the initiate was pieced together by me, Anteater, Comus and Boo Boo. That means there was some compromise and so I'm not 100% pleased with it (I'm sure the others feel the same). For that reason, I pieced together a new for the 10 track mixtape thread and I figure I should advertise it here as well.

If you don't know Gentle Giant, they are an english prog band from the 70s that never quite reached the mainstream, but their style has immense influence on other proggers. They were multi-instrumental, did some crazy a-capellas and were generally highly creative with their music. Generally speaking, they have 7 albums which are all considered gems of the genre which is pretty impressive.

Check'em out!
