"In'terview" is a studio album by the British progressive rock band Gentle Giant, here presented in the CD format and released by the renowned label Chrysalis. The album is characterized by complex song structures, intricate vocal arrangements and a bold fusion of rock, jazz and classical influences.

The CD edition provides clear, detailed sound that highlights the band's precision and the rich layering of keyboards, guitars, bass, drums and multi-part vocals. Packaging and booklet (where included) typically offer artwork and credits that underscore the album's artistic concept and Gentle Giant's attention to detail.
Gentle Giant are celebrated as one of the most innovative and adventurous bands of the 1970s progressive rock era. Known for their masterful musicianship, polymetric rhythms and intricate vocal harmonies, they gained a devoted following with albums such as "Octopus", "The Power and the Glory" and "Free Hand". Their work stands out for its originality, technical excellence and willingness to experiment far beyond conventional rock boundaries, influencing generations of progressive and avant-rock artists. "In'terview" sits in this creative prime, capturing the band at a point where complexity, energy and musical confidence were all at a peak.
Chrysalis, the manufacturer and label of this CD, has long been associated with high-quality rock and pop releases. Emerging as an influential independent label in the late 1960s and 1970s, Chrysalis became known for signing distinctive, musically ambitious artists and supporting them with strong production values and international distribution. A Chrysalis release is generally associated with professional mastering, thoughtful presentation and a catalog that helped shape rock history. This "In'terview" CD continues that legacy, offering a carefully produced edition of a key album from one of progressive rock's most respected names.
