- Prepare to be transported to a realm of intricate musical tapestry with Gilgamesh's album "Another Fine Tune You've Got Me Into." Released in 1978, this captivating fusion of jazz, rock, and prog is a testament to the talents of keyboardist Alan Gowen and his ensemble.
Despite the band's temporary hiatus and members venturing into other projects, Gowen, along with guitarist Phil Lee, drummer Trevor Tomkins, and bassist Hugh Hopper, reconvened to create this remarkable follow-up to their debut album. The result is a collection of compositions that exude both gentleness and undeniable power.
"Another Fine Tune You've Got Me Into" floats effortlessly between free-form jazz, fusion, and touches of psychedelia. One cannot help but marvel at the complexity of the ever-shifting time signatures present throughout the album. In the hands of lesser musicians, such changes could be disorienting, but Gilgamesh masters the art of weaving together intricate musical patterns and melodies that provide a sense of coherence and beauty.
Each track on this album is a journey in itself. From the opening piece, "Darker Brighter," to the ethereal "Underwater Song," the music transports you to a realm where melodies ripple like liquid mercury, creating an otherworldly sonic experience. "Foel'd Again" and "T.N.T.F.X" showcase the band's ability to create captivating musical moments that defy categorization.
It's worth noting that "Another Fine Tune You've Got Me Into" was released during a time when punk rock was dominating the music scene. While the album may have flown under the radar during its initial release, its brilliance and the undeniable talent of the musicians involved make it a gem waiting to be rediscovered.
Gilgamesh's "Another Fine Tune You've Got Me Into" is a testament to the vision and musical genius of Alan Gowen and his bandmates.

Wow, it really did start exactly as Dan described
That's the only reason I'm here too... and he nailed it
Game Grumps, baby!! Lol
Poor muzu
@@ilasocean8234 he is there for our amuzument!
same
Unbelievable how this man made an epic return as a jazz musician after all that stuff happened to him back in Sumerian days.
i thought he died.but looks like hes still been around in hiding,with only his guitar
He is a pretty epic guy after all
What happened could you please explain
@@shilohxo9291 he is joking because the band took the name of Sumerian king Gilgamesh who lived 2000 bc
@@artkirakosyan2633 😂😂ohh
Thanks Dan, anyone else here cuz of Dan?
Gotta say it’s a major diversion from his previous work (Epic of Gilgamesh in Sumerian, 6000 BCE) but I’m all for it.
Dan Avidan from the youtube let's play channel GameGrumps suggested this and I have to say it's awesome, perfect for relaxing or doing pretty much anything
Dan from the Game Grumps sent me and i'm happy he did. Chilling out to this while playing airport CEO an it's very nice.
Gonna be honest didn't expect this was gonna be a jazz album.
I'd call it fusion.
EXACTLY my thought when the first note hit LOL
Thanks youtube algorythm, I guess haha
Neither did I 🤣🤣
Whoa he was bein honest
Total Prog Rock album cover.
Thanks Danny!
Only OG's remember seeing Gilgamesh playing this tunes at Ur
Instalbal 76 today turkey hell yes
Here in time for the Game Grump bump.
Oh yah brother
Dan Avidan brought me here
I can't understate how much I thought by the name and looks of the album art that this was going to be progressive metal. And I cannot understate how absolutely wonderful this whole thing sounds
you can't overstate*. Agreed though :p
I keep playing this over and over again. These guys have a clean and crisp sound and the music is of timeless beauty, balance and quality. Untainted by indulgent noodling or misplaced funk/disco that seems typical for a lot of late 70s stuff. A real gem.
Came here because of Dan ❤ This album did not disappoint
Grump Bump because Danny has excellent taste in music.
Daddy Dan sent me here.
This pleases Father
Another fine tune Dan got me into
Thanks Dan
Thank you Dan
Many thanks Denny (love Arnold too). This was the perfect recommendation 3hrs into a 3.5g mushroom trip 👊
Listened to this while sketching up a tattoo design of Bart Simpson hitting a dab rig. Life’s crazy. Thank you for the amazing music
Yes.. this is more in tune with my life’s rhythms x
This whole album as you leaned forward with one eye brow raised.
Hey I'm grump
nothing will ever beat this... insanely soulful music...
Shades of Weather Report and Brian Auger's Oblivion Express...and there ain't nothing wrong with that! Super glad to discover this group!
You just know when you see covers and titles like this it's gonna be some jazzy fusion stuff.
What was it with 70's fusion acts and aesthetics that are basically power metal and dungeon synth? (Remember all of these guys were huge fantasy and sci-fi nerds, including Steely Dan) ah, right.
The flea by William blake..
I am really disappointed with this watered down mother's of invention cover music
@@Rumpelstiltskins_Stinking_Fang aight nobody ask tho brother
@@Haltboy It's a comment section. Nobody may be explicitly asking for anyone's opinion but theyre all valid, even the negative
An 8 bit version of this would absolutely bless
Too tempting to resit, here you go Tim;

Hi Dan
Who’s here because of Dan??
Good stuff! Reminds me a lot of early Return To Forever and Weather Report. Those were exciting times, as this Jazz-Rock Fusion was a new sound for new times. Traditional Jazz was in decline, and Rock was in chaos by 1978. Thanks for resurrecting this fine band!
Jazz-Rock band, started in 1972 (first demos in 1973 and 1974 available on CD). First eponymous album in 1975. Alan Gowen (1947-1981) also played with National Health in 1978.
I don't know who Dan Avidan is or recall ever seeing a Game Grumps video, but I do think it's super cool that one of my favourite albums, which happens to be a bit obscure, got a good boost of attention. Nice work dude!
I was in the same boat, to be honest.
We're all doing the same thing after all, hey?
Bro Waiting brought me to tears :’)
Along with Hatfield and the North and National Health Gilgamish were one of the best bands playing this very complex , jazz influenced jazz / rock / fusion . A true Progressive band , fascinating , innovative music from great musicians . We're not see they're like again or experience a decade so overflowing with great inventive bands like this .
It's so very Hatfield and The North, bloody marvelous.
The track "Worlds Of Zin" on their first album is a particular favourite.
take a look around buddy were in the midst of another musical and artistic renaissance as we speak, if you're not finding incredible music you're just not looking
@@manofpowei dont think its ever been different, music and history marches on ceaselessly, you just wont find all of it unless you know where to look. They arent gonna play it on any radio stations or tv, for sure.
Nice 👌🏻
so thankful theres a description about the members and story of the band under this video.
I love discovering new niche artists but frequently get a bit upset at not finding any info on the band(s) i discover.
Thank you :)
Welcome aboard!
Entirely new to me, thank you for the enlightenment! You have a nice eclectic channel, only took a brief scroll but the classic CRI recording of Stokowski performing Henry Cowell & Lou Harrison.. one of my favorites. There’s another fantastic recording of Cowell’s Persian Set on Koch (Koch Classics) from the 90s that I cherish as well. I’m a huge fan of both composers. I met Lou Harrison at an all-Harrison concert in honor of his 80th birthday years back in NYC. He was such a kind spirit. Oh and sorry, I have a tendency to leave long comments. -Regards
An absolute pleasure! What a nice story, welcome to leave more, I love long comments.
@@wtflac Hey thank you :) I warn you now I most definitely will, ha. I can’t really help myself. I used to have several blogs (all music) where I shared rare recordings (a ton, via file hosting) and wrote about the music/composers/and so on.. miss doing so. Will end for now with my favorite quote of all time which is from the great Duke Ellington who said it succinctly & perfectly: “music is my mistress”. Resonates with my fiercely.
I saw this after binging some dungeon synth and was blown away by how groovy this is. This rules!
clicked this cause the flea is one of my fave blake paintings. what an album!
Blessed Dan, sounded like some obscure stuff i would love
youtube algorithm gently kissed me on the forehead with this
C vraiment cool de pouvoir écouter jazz fusion. uniquement de la musique. merci
Here for Dan and the lovelies. This is fantastic!
Mind blowing stuff....need more of this bands music...great stuff all the way from india
First time listener and I absolutely love it! I also JUST heard the drummer bump the mic with his stick on the left channel at 16:00 when he was coming back from one of the cymbals. It's cool that it's in there. Makes me visualize the session more, and maybe the discussions involved about retaking or leaving it it haha. Consider me a new fan!😁😁
Posso dizer que esse álbum me encanta do primeiro ao último segundo, chega a ser absurdo, mas Bobberty e Underwater Song me transportam para lugares inenarráveis.
Esses caras foram realmente além...
Gilgamesh e praticamente todos os grupos da Canterbury Scene fazem com que os outros subgêneros de fora soem simplórios e sem alma, essa é minha impressão.
Com toda essa falta de sal e açúcar, junto às mudanças de tempo, sei que são inenarráveis mesmo, e nem tente! Te passo e até imploro, não faça isso.
Thank you! I haven’t heard this album since college. I’d completely forgotten about this gem.
Not gonna lie, judging by the thumbnail and name of the artist and the name of the playlist "progressive metal/rock" which I found this on, I though this was gonna be the usual metal stuff, however unexpectedly it was the most soothing jazz album i ever heard... thank you for uploading this identity X
Bruce Dickinson's Chemical Wedding led me here. Good stuff!
use this as your ''here at Danny Avidan's Happy place'' button
The name of the album says exactly what i thought after hearing
I wonder how many people knew Gilgamesh before Dan Avidan.
HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!! THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NEVER KNEW OF THIS BEFORE. AMAZING MUSICIANSHIP!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent album. I found one on eBay for something North of $100. Thanks for uploading 'flac'.
Thanks for listening
Alan Gowen was such a big part of Canterbury music!
That bell /ride cymbal is so beautiful.
Here from GG and Danny sexbang 😂
Ghost of a flea!
The title of this album is so fitting; it's what I think everytime new songs pop up in the algorithm.
First minute or so made me feel just inexplicably happy
Thanks I feel infused with fusion !
This album is amazing ❤
Not sure how I missed this way back when as I had all the Soft Machine albums.
Oh me three
I knew it would be jazz, because I search up jazz, see it in my recommendations, and the cover checked out to me
thank u dan
I had added this to my "Canterbury "YT Playlist in the mistaken belief that Steve Hillage was in this band! This is great, and I didn't know that Hugh Hopper was in the group!
Wow this is another fine tune I've gotten into
thank you for sharing this, this album is so damn awesome!
ive got both their albums on vinyl, this one beats the snakes and ladders one by miles.
This is fine but it shouldn't be an elimination contest
Fun fact: Bruce Dickinson’s album, The Chemical Wedding uses this same art in the cover. Absolutely phenomenal album beginning to end (which is so rare) if you were somehow expecting something different and more along the lines of a programmatic rock and metal album, do yourself a favor and check it out.
Listen to their 1st album! Even better IMO.
amazing
Thank you. My ears are feeling happy and soothed by these seriously slick and sweet sounds!
It's not slick this is very old and wonderful
superbly sibilant!
Absolutely superb. Just what I needed.
Great, great.Thank you so much for this.
This is phenomenal... j'adore
beautiful!....I appreciate it, thanks for sharing it!
7:17 goddammmmn

Thanking you 🍀☯️🎶🎸🤸
Honestly I thought this was gonna be dungeon synth. Good tunes. Thanks for sharing it with us.
yo... just clicked on this at random and completely DID NOT expect this to blow my mind
Well Dayam, CZcams's algorithm finally did something right!
🎶🎶😁🎶🎶Play On
Thank you! ❤
Expected Dungeon Synth, got jazz.
Great stuff!
I was lucky enough to see Alan Gowan with a version of National Health in a tiny club the Edge (Edgertons) in the eighties. I don't recall now who was in the band (whether it included Pip Pyle) but definitely they played some of this record, I believe the set was Queues and Cures mostly.
I was at that show! Never realised Gowan died maybe a year later.
a fave💐class of '78
The YT recommendations sure got me into another fine tune indeed!
*Cries*
I forgot how outstanding these performances were!
I appreciate all of the quality recordings you continue to share.
Thank you!
Очень интересная музыка, понравилась!
Nice album! Smooooooth.
Right you are Curtis, right... you... are!!

Just posting some information on the musicians (sourced from Wiki)
ALAN GOWEN (19 August 1947 - 17 May 1981) was an English fusion/progressive rock keyboardist, best known for his work in Gilgamesh and National Health.
Gowen was born in North Hampstead, northwest London. He joined Assagai in 1971 before going on to found Sunship in 1972 with Jamie Muir (drums, also from Assagai) and Laurie Baker (bass). The band also included Allan Holdsworth on guitar.
He formed Gilgamesh in 1973 and started a collaboration with Hatfield and the North, eventually founding National Health with Hatfield and the North's keyboardist Dave Stewart in 1975. Gowen left National Health in 1977, though returned briefly for the recording sessions of their first album.
In 1978, Gowen formed Soft Heap with Elton Dean, Hugh Hopper, and Pip Pyle. With Dave Sheen replacing Pyle, the band toured as Soft Head in the summer of 1978. He also recorded a second Gilgamesh album that year.
Gowen re-joined National Health in 1979-1980 and also continued with Soft Heap in this period. Before a Word is Said (1981), recorded with Richard Sinclair (bass, briefly in Gilgamesh), Phil Miller (guitar, from National Health) and Trevor Tomkins (drums, from Gilgamesh), was the last album Gowen recorded before his death from leukaemia in 1981.
PHILLIP ROBERT LEE (born 8 April 1943, London, England) is an English jazz guitarist.
Lee studied guitar with Ike Isaacs as a teenager and was a member of the National Youth Jazz Orchestra, including for their performance at the 1960 Antibes Jazz Festival. Later in the 1960s he played with John Williams and Graham Collier and in a band that included Bob Stuckey, Dudu Pukwana, and John Marshall.
During the 1970s, he played in jazz-rock bands such as Gilgamesh and Axel with Tony Coe and with Michael Garrick, Henry Lowther, and John Stevens.He recorded Twice Upon a Time (1987) with Jeff Clyne. Later in his career he worked with Gordon Beck, Andres Boiarsky, Benny Goodman, Lena Horne, Marian Montgomery, Annie Ross, and the London Jazz Orchestra.
HUGH COLIN HOPPER (29 April 1945 - 7 June 2009) was a British progressive rock and jazz fusion bass guitarist. He was a prominent member of the Canterbury scene, as a member of Soft Machine and other bands. After leaving Soft Machine, through the end of the 1970s, he worked with such groups as Stomu Yamashta's East Wind, Isotope, Gilgamesh, and the Carla Bley Band.He also played in a couple of cooperative bands alongside former Soft Machine saxophonist Elton Dean: Hopper/Dean/Tippett/Gallivan (with pianist Keith Tippett and drummer Joe Gallivan) and Soft Heap (with keyboard-player Alan Gowen and drummer Pip Pyle).
Hopper was diagnosed with leukaemia in June 2008 and underwent chemotherapy. As a result of his illness and the treatment, he cancelled all his concert appearances. A Hugh Hopper benefit concert took place in December 2008 at the 100 Club in London and featured In Cahoots, members of Soft Machine Legacy, Delta Sax Quartet, Sophia Domancich and Simon Goubert, Yumi Hara Cawkwell, and the Alex Maguire Sextet. Another benefit was planned for late June 2009. He married his partner Christine on 5 June 2009 and died of leukaemia on 7 June.His funeral, a Tibetan Buddhist ceremony to respect Hugh's wishes, was held on 25 June 2009.
TREVOR RAMSEY TOMKINS (12 May 1941 - 9 September 2022) was a British jazz drummer best known for his work in a number of British bands in the 1970s, including Gilgamesh.
Tomkins was born in London and studied music at the Guildhall School of Music. He initially learned to play trombone as a teenager before choosing drums on which he made his first professional appearance.
In 1962, he joined Don Rendell working with the Rendell and Ian Carr's quintet for seven years until 1969. He recorded several albums with pianist Michael Garrick and Don Rendell in the late 1960s and early 1970s. In the 1970s, he worked with Ian Carr's Nucleus, Giles Farnaby's Dream Band, David Becker and Henry Lowther's Quaternity. He was a popular choice for visiting musicians including Sonny Stitt, Phil Woods and Lee Konitz. He appears on the 1971 album First Wind by Frank Ricotti and Mike de Albuquerque and on Tony Coe's 1978 album, Coe-Existence.
Tomkins was the first cousin of Roy Budd (jazz pianist and film composer of Get Carter fame), and Peter C. Budd (jazz guitarist living in Chicago), and was a member of various trios and other line-ups with his cousin Roy.
In 1982 he played on the album Before a Word Is Said with Alan Gowen, Phil Miller and Richard Sinclair. The album was released on CD in 1995. Tomkins died on 9 September 2022, at the age of 81.
Suena muy bien una genialidad
This is pure fire!
