Free Hand is perhaps Gentle Giant's most realized effort. After the excellent In a Glass House, the group further developed its approach, producing one of the most creative and complex recordings in progressive rock history. Their vocal approach to the four-part fugue "On Reflection" was revolutionary for its time and is looked upon as one of the genre's defining moments.
Free Hand was the seventh album by prog legends ‘Gentle Giant’. Another artistic triumph for the band, it has endured as one of their best-loved releases. Musically, the album drew on an eclectic range of styles, though jazz and Renaissance music were its defining influences. The latter found its apogee on the vocal gymnastics of ‘On Reflection’, whose opening four-part fugue remains one of Gentle Giant’s (and prog’s) defining moments. Elsewhere, opener ‘Just The Same’ pairs strong vocal hooks with glam rock handclaps and jazz fusion stylings. Free Hand’ and ‘Time To Kill’ are perhaps the most straightforward rock songs, though both are graced with myriad twists and complex time signatures
Gentle Giant were an English progressive rock band active between 1970 and 1980. The band were known for the complexity and sophistication of its music and for the varied musical skills of its members. All of the band members, except Malcolm Mortimore, were ts. Although not commercially successful, they did achieve a cult following.
