--- Sez MICHAEL DOYLE to DAVID MARHEINE ---
 DM> DM>I received a 2 CD _Giant For A Life_ tribute album yesterday...
 DM> MD> A Gentle Giant tribute CD!?  Where do I get one?
 DM> Italy.
 MD> I bought via the Internet a 2 CD set "Giant Tracks: A Tribute to
 MD> Gentle Giant."  From your discription, I think this is the CD you are
 MD> referring to.  Surely there aren't TWO double CD tributes to GG out? 
Amazingly enough, there ARE!  
 MD> "Giant for a Life" would be a good title though.  Anyway, this "Giant
 MD> Tracks" I purchased is fantastic.
_GFAL_ is very good, too.  I don't have disc or track details handy,
but should get the CD's back from Murphy Saturday if I remember...

 MD> http://www.cs.umass.edu/~barrett/gentlegiant.html"
 MD> While I was looking for this CD on the Web I found several Web shops
 MD> that sell nothing but Prog-Rock - incredible!  I bought 2 sampler CDs
 MD> from one, Kenesis, for real cheap and they have some great Prog-Rock
 MD> on them, by bands I have never heard of.  Their URL is
 MD> http://www.kenesiscd.com, and their email is info@kenesiscd.com.
Way cool.  "Real cheap" is my second favorite price point.
 MD> I found about 5 other similar sites, all selling unique Prog-Rock for
 MD> reasonable prices by just following the links to suggested retailers
 MD> from which to buy "Giant Tracks" from the Gentle Giant homepage.
 DM> MD> But by far the best album of GG's to start with has got to be the
 DM> MD> double live "Playing the Fool."
Nabbed it for $8.99 a few days ago, a mere 12 cents per minute....
Sounds very nice so far.  Hoping to find some Loud Music time this
holiday weekend.
 MD> Right now the MTV CD shop is providing free shipping and they
 MD> also have it available, as well as every other GG release.
"Free"?  That's my FAVORITE price point!  I wonder if they carry _Two
Sides Of Peter Banks_ sufficiently discounted from list price...
