Gilgamesh - Arriving Twice (2000)

Prepare to dive into the mesmerizing world of Gilgamesh with their album "Arriving Twice." Originally formed in 1972 as a "Canterbury-style" jazz/rock band by keyboardist and composer Alan Gowen, Gilgamesh left an indelible mark on the music scene before disbanding in 1975 when Gowen joined National Health.
This incredible archival release takes you on a journey through the band's unreleased recordings, featuring nearly 70 minutes of captivating music from three different lineups spanning 1973 to 1975. The album showcases 25 minutes of previously unheard compositions by Alan Gowen, including a reworking of a tune written for the double quartet of Gilgamesh and Hatfield & The North, adding a unique twist to their musical repertoire.
"Arriving Twice" captures Gilgamesh at their most vibrant and adventurous, displaying a level of creativity and improvisation that surpasses their studio albums. The band's signature fusion of jazz, rock, and progressive elements is taken to new heights with fiery guitar solos by Phil Lee and the dynamic interplay between the musicians. These recordings breathe new life into familiar tracks from their debut album, offering a fresh perspective and injecting them with renewed energy.
With an informative 16-page booklet filled with rare photos and insightful interviews conducted by renowned Canterbury expert Aymeric Leroy, this release provides a deeper understanding of Gilgamesh's music and the creative process behind it.
Immerse yourself in the captivating sounds of Gilgamesh and experience the essence of the Canterbury scene. From the mesmerizing compositions to the fiery performances, "Arriving Twice" is a must-have for any fan of jazz-rock fusion and progressive music.

When Gowen joined NH in 1975, the dice had already been cast. The Punk wave was coming and the music scene was in turmoil! Time has spoken now for all those lucky or unlucky who wanted to be sincere and without concessions
