They received their best reception at the first Jimi Hendrix Memorial Concert in Seattle (January 22, 1971 at the Eagles Auditorium Building[1]), where they were the only band to play totally original material.
Two members even undertook a trip to London in the summer of 1975 to speak with industry representatives in the birthplace of progressive rock, but if anything the economic and musical depression was even worse in England.
The band members went their separate ways, to pursue solo careers (see Jeff Sherman), start families and generally pretend to be normal people.
[6] The acclaim garnered by their live performances attracted the attention of French independent progressive rock label Musea Records, who in 2004 offered to re-release No Stranger To The Skies and distribute it worldwide.
That album, Illuminations, was produced by keyboardist Greg Sherman and featured a cover photo by Glass's longtime engineer and sound man Erik Poulsen.
[7][8][9] Illuminations features guest appearances by some of the Canterbury scene's best musicians—the same movement that had sparked the formation of Glass some 37 years earlier—including Hugh Hopper (ex-Soft Machine), Richard Sinclair and Phil Miller.
Produced by bassist Jeff Sherman, the album was recorded in Zen style; the band did not undergo the usual months of pre-recording preparations but instead came together in the studio and played whatever ideas came to mind.
The album, titled Palindrome, was mastered by Michael King (engineer and author of Wrong Movements: A Robert Wyatt Biography) and released in 2014 on Musea Records.
With the decline in physical media, in 2022 Glass began making their back catalog available on platforms such as Bandcamp,[15] Amazon, YouTube, Apple Music, Spotify, and TikTok.
