Free Hand
''Free Hand'' is an album by British progressive rock band Gentle Giant that was released in 1975. It also marked their first album under their new label, Chrysalis Records in the U.K. This album is noted for its high production values, and a less dissonant, more accessible feel than their previous album ''The Power and the Glory''. It was their highest-charting album in the U.S. and the only one to crack the Top 50 on the Billboard album charts. The 1990 CD version released by the re-issue label One Way Records of Albany, New York mistakenly used an alternate rough mix version of the album. This version revealed some different musical details. Alucard/EMI re-released the CD in 2009, "from the original 1/4-inch tapes through 24bit 96k Hi-Resolution transfer." The album was mixed quadraphonic by the band in 1976 but the 4-channel mix was not released until 2012 when it finally appeared in DVD-Audio format.〔http://www.discogs.com/Gentle-Giant-Free-Hand/release/4096691〕 ==Reception== ''The Great Rock Bible'' decribed the album:
Duly signing a new deal in Britain with Chrysalis Records, their seventh album ''Free Hand'' (1975), again only found a paying audience (and Top 50 status) across the water. However, it did contain impressive vocal gymnastics, much in evidence on jewels in the crown, "Just The Same" and the renaissance/retro, part a cappella/part folk-rocker "On Reflection"; the latter combining four pieces of group scribed fugue. Minnear’s un-medieval meanderings on the ivories for the pure-prog title track was just the ticket for a group still going strong despite others such as ELP and the aforementioned Genesis and King Crimson were collapsing under rock’s evolution. Although at times exquisitely off-kilter, tracks such as "Time To Kill", the beautiful "His Last Voyage", the folkie "Mobile" and Tudor-esque instrumental ditty "Talybont", gave the set an aura of accessibility – a classic!
