"THAT'S RIGHT! Kerry Minnear, Gary Green and Malcolm Mortimore (all,from Gentle Giant), have just formed a new band this year, and they're called, "Three Friends!" Who would have thought?! I heard a bit of them doing "Free Hand", and it sounded flawless, with a new singer sounding perhaps something like the guy from Kansas. But what's really exciting, (along with them getting together in the first place), is the prospect of them perhaps doing a new album! Hearing Minnear's recent theme music for the two live DVDs, makes that a very appealing prospect, indeed! I think we'd all better start e-mailing them about that, if you want to hear something akin to a new "Gentle Giant!" And, hell, who knows, perhaps other former members may feel encouraged to enter the fold. Cross your fingers!

Oh yea, this CD... It's one of my favorites- ominous, pretty, medieval, complex and it rocks too, when it needs to. Stands out apart from all the rest."
