Absolutely Brilliant Album, June 27, 2005
Reviewer: ElvisCostellosWeiner "Chekhov Is The Greatest" (Michigan)
Phil Schulman had an idea for this concept that he had actually experience first hand. Three Friends grow up, get different jobs, move apart because of the differences in their lives. Pretty simple, and effectively covered in 35 minutes, even if there could have been more. Phil said it would take a fairly large opera to get all he wanted in to the album.
The sound of the album? It's a little less cluttered than earlier albums. On this album, melody reigns supreme. More than their other albums, this one is about sonic beauty. And you can hear that in the end of the title track, which is teh end of the album. The band never recorded a piece of music that was so purely beautiful ever again. But the work is pretty connected, almost symphonic. Can almost be considered one long work, and if the lack of a long song in gentle giant's catalog bothers any prog fans, they can take this as one!



Outstanding Gentle Giant, September 8, 2003
Reviewer: Alan Caylow (USA)
1972's "Three Friends" is Gentle Giant's third album (though the US release mistakenly uses the same cover art from the band's first album), and it's a magnificent work. A concept album, "Three Friends" is a 35-minute, six-part opus, telling the tale of three young friends who go to school together, but are separated as they get older, and their lives take them down different paths---one becomes a construction worker, the second a painter, and the third a businessman. A simple story, but very effective, anchored by Gentle Giant's brilliant music. The band's musicianship, arrangements, and vocalising are all superb, the music haunting and powerful. While my personal favorite GG album remains "The Power And The Glory," there's no denying that the band definitely pushed up the bar another notch with "Three Friends." It's a Gentle Giant classic, and a must-own album for any fan of progressive rock.

только ногами не пинайте, есть ли на диске pre-emphasis? Наcторожила меня колумбийская стенка

спасибо!

Спасибо, OlCh, за внимание в творчеству GG!

К сожалению, ранний GG очень плохо ремастирован на CD - пожалуй вот только этот диск сделан более или менее нормально и еще Aquiring the Taste (кстати совсем недавно на Repertuire вышел новый ремастер, который по отзывам звучит очень неплохо!).
Что касается первого диска 1970 года Vertigo и особенно Octopus 1972 CBS, то он звучит просто ужасно. Такого зашкала и distortion на звуке барабанов трудно где-то найти. За такой мастеринг надо по харе давать! Это не смотря на то, что чувствуется, диск в оригинале ДОЛЖЕН звучать чудесно!
Ну посмотрим, может GG все же сделает нормальный релиз ранних дисков (кстати, оказывается, что 35th Anniversary Series вроде и не GG делались и без их ведома и не известно с мастер-лент или нет).

А пока это лучшая версия Three Friends в наличии!
Наслаждайтесь, музыка великолепна!
