Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Progress-Michael Giles RULES!.......2007-01-19

As Hendrix was to Guitarists, Michael Giles filled the same role for many classical rock drummers, including Neil Pert. Michael's legendary drum designs as heard on "21'st Century Schizoid" man and his powerful vocals on I Talk To The Wind" are just a few examples of this man's dynamic range.

Fripp was right on, when he once said in an interview "In all my years of playing with Michael, I NEVER heard him make a mistake". So true with PROGRESS,it's pure GILES for the GILES PURIST.

5 out of 5 stars LONG OVERDUE.......2002-12-22

The imprint Michael Giles has left on music is vastly underrated. From the earliest work under the guise of Giles, Giles and Fripp (both "Cheerful Insanity of" and "The Brondesbury Tapes" are essential to any collection) to the original King Crimson and on to the also underrated McDonald and Giles self-titled album, Michael Giles was and is one of the most unique and distinct writers and drummers in rock.

"Progress" is finally available to us, thanks to the people of Voiceprint. It exhibits none of the dark calamity of the first 2 King Crimson albums. Instead, the music is much closer to the bright, crisp and airy textures of the McDonald and Giles album that precedes it. Listening to the well-defined punch of the bass and drums, the slightly distant vocals and rounded horns the listener can only conclude that Mr. Giles is one of those musicians with truly golden ears. In fact, if you have had the chance to hear "The Brondesbury Tapes" you cannot help but be amazed by the engineering the Giles brothers deliver by bouncing tracks on a 2 channel Revox.
