Gentle Giant’s In a Glass House Returns in Newly Remixed and Remastered Edition due in July!

One of progressive rock’s most daring and influential albums, In a Glass House by Gentle Giant returns in a powerful new form, newly remixed and remastered by Grammy Award-winning producer Eber Pinheiro alongside the band’s own Derek Shulman.

Originally released in 1973, In a Glass House stands as a bold artistic statement that pushed the boundaries of composition, musicianship, and studio experimentation. With its intricate arrangements, shifting time signatures, and thought-provoking themes, the album remains a cornerstone of progressive rock and one of Gentle Giant’s most celebrated works. The album features some of the band’s most enduring compositions, including “The Runaway,” “Experience,” and the epic closing title track “In a Glass House.”

For the first time ever, In a Glass House has been newly mixed and made available in both 5.1 surround sound and Dolby Atmos, opening up the album’s dense arrangements and intricate performances in an entirely new way. 

“When we made In a Glass House, we were pushing ourselves musically and creatively in every direction,” said Derek Shulman. “Hearing the recordings again and being able to remix them with today’s technology has revealed details and textures that were always there but never fully heard. We wanted to present In a Glass House the way we always hoped it could sound, clearer, more dynamic, and true to the original vision. The detail in the performances really comes through in this new mix.”

“The Dolby Atmos and surround mixes really allow the listener to step inside the music,” Shulman added. “It’s incredibly rewarding to hear the album take on a new life while still staying completely true to what we created in 1973.”

For longtime fans and new listeners alike, this new edition of In a Glass House presents the album with greater power, depth, and transparency than ever before, reaffirming its place as one of the defining recordings of the progressive rock era.

The release will be available in multiple formats, including a standard 180g vinyl LP, limited edition clear vinyl, CD, and a deluxe CD/Blu-ray edition featuring stereo, 5.1 surround sound, and Dolby Atmos mixes.

Release Date: July 31st, 2026

ABOUT GENTLE GIANT

Gentle Giant was a British progressive rock band formed in 1970 in London by three brothers Derek, Ray and Phil Shulman along with Gary Green, Kerry Minnear and drummer Martin Smith who was latterly replaced by John “Pugwash” Weathers in 1972. 

The group was renowned for its complex and eclectic musical style, blending elements of rock, jazz, classical, folk and medieval music.  The band played a diverse array of instruments between them and their intricate arrangements and exquisite vocal harmonies gave them their own unique, instantly identifiable sound.

Gentle Giant released a series of highly regarded albums including ‘Acquiring the Taste’ (1971), ‘In a Glass House’ (1973), and ‘The Power and the Glory’ (1974) across which they pushed their musical boundaries to the limit. Their live album ‘Playing The Fool’ (1977) remains a testament to their stunning live shows.

In 1980 Gentle Giant called it a day and have refused numerous calls to reform since then, perhaps this is why their reputation remains intact to this day.  Wide Scale chart success may have eluded them but their fiercely loyal fanbase followed them right through their career and beyond. Their legacy has remained undiminished within the Progressive Rock world being major influences on Porcupine Tree`s Steven Wilson, Neal Morse of Spock's Beard, Michael Sadler of Saga and Opeth`s Mikael Akerfeldt, who cites ‘Acquiring The Taste’ as one of his favourite albums.

Derek Shulman: “We were a rock and roll band that played interesting music and we wanted to have fun for ourselves and have the audience go out with a smile on their faces.”
