Gentle Giant fans in here?

I was just wondering if anyone here had heard of the band Gentle Giant which formed during the 70's and sadly disbanded in the 80's?

I would recommend them just for the complexity of their music and the use of many different musical devices from jazz, rock and early music. They use a great deal of counterpoint but essentially, besides this, their music remains really fun and enjoyable, although it is an acquired taste and does take a lot to get into. I think their music should be studied and looked at in a more academic way as there is so much to say about their music.

Anyone heard their stuff?
