Acquiring the Taste is the second album of English progressive rock band Gentle Giant, released in 1971. It was the final album by the band to feature original drummer Martin Smith. The recording was made at the following studios. Advision Studios – (Engineers: Martin Rushent, Big A & Garybaldi). Studios, London – (Engineer: Bill Price). This was a departure from the blues and soul styles found on their self-titled debut.

The band's second album is a major advance on its first, featuring superior singing, playing, and songwriting, as well as a more unified sound, without sacrificing the element of surprise in the first record. Many of the melodies and even the riffs here (check out Gary Green's first guitar flourish on "Pantagruel's Nativity") have a pretty high haunt count, and all of the musicianship displays an elegance seldom heard even in progressive circles - but the record also, amazingly enough, rocks really hard as well

Setting out their stall before the record even started, the liner notes brazenly proclaimed a modus operandi of expanding the frontiers of contemporary popular music at the risk of being very unpopular, declaring that each song on the album should be unique, adventurous and fascinating, abandoning all preconceived thoughts of blatant commercialism.

Listen free to Gentle Giant – Acquiring The Taste (Pantagruel's Nativity, Edge Of Twilight and more). In an interview of March 1998 in 20th century music magazine RAY SHULMAN states:. I think ACQUIRING THE TASTE, our second record, was probably the purest in terms of making music. We just made music and it was never for any other reason. There were no business concerns because we weren't even known. Discover more music, concerts, videos, and pictures with the largest catalogue online at Last.
