Gentle Giant - Acquiring The Taste - The Moon Is Down

Acquiring the Taste is the second studio album by British progressive rock band Gentle Giant, released in 1971 on the Vertigo label. It was the final album by the band to feature original drummer Martin Smith. The album was a departure from the blues and soul styles found on their self-titled debut album. It was more experimental, more discordant, and with more varied instrumentation. At 39 minutes and 26 seconds, it is the longest studio album the group ever released. The album was recorded at Advision Studios in London, with engineers Martin Rushent, Big A and Garybaldi, and at AIR Studios in London, with engineer Bill Price. "The Moon Is Down" - second song on the B-side of the album.
