I was well into them. I was a huge disco-hating prog fan, and Gentle Giant was at the top of my list for years. Then came 1977, and Gentle Giant released a couple of (to my ears) lousy records, The Missing Piece and Giant For A Day. By the time Civilian came out in 1980, my attention had been captured by the likes of Wire, New Order, Magazine, and the Cure, and I never even picked it up. Can anyone recommend any of the later (1994 and later) releases? Anything that contains any good unreleased stuff from the pre-1977 period? ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 27 Jul 2002 15:58:04 +0100 From: "Bill Hick" Subject: [idealcopy] An Encounter with an Angel? New York Paul asked about the video art I mentioned a few days back. I think the artist's name was Mark Wallinger, but might have remembered this incorrectly. He recites part of the gospel of john starting, "In the beginning was the word..." but the rest comes out jumbled like the dream speech in David Lynch's Twin Peaks or indeed Colin's verses on Nice Streets. This is because the film is running backwards. He's walking on the very long escalator in the Angel tube station, so he stays rooted to the spot ("Displaying an interest in forward propulsion / Our swimmer glides with no actual motion"). He waves the white stick of the blind man in front of him and his eyes are concealed behind dark glasses. After repeating his garbled messianic gibberish enough to make it hypnotic and hilarious, he stops walking and ascends the escalator as choral music blares, suggesting that he's rising to heaven. Maybe he eventually trusts and believes that its all in the art of stopping?
