A New Fix For '76.....or 2004.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gist Of The Gemini (Audio CD)
Jun 16, 2004A superb work with highly improved dinamics, flashy drum breaks, percussive ambients, accurate guitar leads and many complex line vocals are the estructure for an intense, sexual, moody and soft dimed musical atmosphere. An extrordinary work that shows efficently the higher levels of Love and responsability: Love of my Life, Omens of Love, To the War, Carnal Question... "If I came back As well as soft songs with existencial regrets and highly questioned thouths inside our minds: " If God is good Through this intense atmospheres, Gino Vannelli is supported again by his fellow brother Joe Vanelli on Keyboards, Graham Lear on Drums (Former member of Santana), Richard Baker on various Keyboards, John Mandel on percussion and Dido on Congas... Here in Mexico on early 90's Gino Vannelli and his brother came to play live and on a t.v. show, and I remember that neather the host Veronica Castro nor anybody, never ask anything (in that disapointed interview) about the Gist Of Gemini album and Gino didn't say anything as well. So it was obvious that nobody (and I mean nobody!) really knew who was Gino Vannelly the man, and the musician... ain't that a shame! The Gist of the Gemini (1976) is Vannelli's best work to date and an effort seldomly reached, a "One in a million" recording and a must for the vannelli's real fans. Another excellent past musical efforts were Powerfull People album (1974), more jazzy ballad oriented; and Storm at Sunup (1975) that appears like a transitional album between Powerfull and The Gist...And I bet that nobody imagined the musical direction for the vannelli brothers in 1976 but they created a new progressive mixture of rock, Jazz, Classic, Bossa, cruzeiro, ballad; that reached unimaginated levels, an intense feeling and a new statement for the rock music,....A new fix for 2004. Good Luck!

Unconventional brilliance,
By Charles-Smith@comcast.net (Downers Grove, IL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gist Of The Gemini (Audio CD)
I have loved this work since it first came out. "Omens of Love" and "Fly into this Night" are two of my favorite songs, yet aren't - but should be - on any of his 'Favorites' CD's. The 6th through the 11th track are a continuous work. They lead us through thoughts about our responsibility - and the price we pay - for defending our liberty. This almost 30 year old set of songs is more relevant now than when it was first recorded. I not only have this work on CD, but also on its original LP form and still listen to it on my Linn Sondek LP12 with Dalquist DQ10 studio reference speakers. My my how it takes me back.

Did you get the gist?,
By linda bishop (Belvidere, VT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gist Of The Gemini (Audio CD)
After 25 years of listening to gino's work I still maintain that this is his best. A way-ahead-of-its time infusion of rock,dance,jazz and even classical! Genius stuff,here,folks! True musicians love this work and the variety of moods,vocals and instrumental styles make it at once serious,fun and insightful. Enjoy!
