Gentle Giant are giving one of their best-loved albums a fresh airing. In a Glass House returns in a newly remixed and remastered edition on 31 July 2026, reworked by Grammy-winning producer Eber Pinheiro alongside the band’s own Derek Shulman.
First released in 1973, In a Glass House remains a cornerstone of progressive rock, prized for its intricate arrangements, restless time signatures and inventive studio work. It holds some of the band’s most enduring pieces, among them ‘The Runaway’, ‘Experience’ and the closing title track ‘In a Glass House’.
For the first time the album has been mixed for 5.1 surround sound and Dolby Atmos, an approach intended to open up its dense, layered performances. Shulman says revisiting the tapes brought out detail that had always been present 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,” he explains. “The detail in the performances really comes through in this new mix.”
He is particularly taken with the immersive formats. “The Dolby Atmos and surround mixes really allow the listener to step inside the music,” he adds. “It’s incredibly rewarding to hear the album take on a new life while still staying completely true to what we created in 1973.”
The reissue comes in several formats, including a standard 180g vinyl LP, a limited edition clear vinyl pressing, CD, and a deluxe CD and Blu-ray edition carrying the stereo, 5.1 surround and Dolby Atmos mixes.
