For the first time, legendary progressive rock act Gentle Giant‘s In a Glass House has been newly mixed and made available in both 5.1 surround sound and Dolby Atmos, set for release by Madfish on 31st July.
Newly remixed and remastered by Grammy Award-winning producer Eber Pinheiro alongside the band’s own Derek Shulman, the result opens up the album’s dense arrangements and intricate performances in an entirely new way for both the modern listener and the classic fan.
Originally released in 1973, In a Glass House stands as a bold artistic achievement 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, featuring some of the band’s most enduring compositions.
A new video for ‘Way of Life’ from the remastered album has been released, which you can watch below.
“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 continued. “It’s incredibly rewarding to hear the album take on a new life while still staying completely true to what we created in 1973.”
In a Glass House 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.
The album features the tracks ‘The Runaway’, ‘An Inmate’s Lullaby’, ‘Way of Life’, ‘Experience’, ‘A Reunion’, ‘In a Glass House’ and ‘Index’. It can be ordered here.
