  Islands- Naked August 14, 2012
Written by jloman1
This reminds me very much of the Beatles "Let it Be- Naked." Stripped of the production, orchestral intro, oboe, cornet and piano from the original, you would think it should lack something. It doesn’t. it’s brilliant in it’s direct simplicity. Great melody, simple but brilliant guitar and mellotron, good bass and very simple drumming. Reminds me of why I became such a big crimhead in the first place. Bravo Fripp & company!

Michael 'Garguantuan' Giles! s! Mon., May 27, 2013
Posted by: syncopatico
Michael Giles certainly had to be the most ’orchestral’ (octopus-like!;) majestic drummer in KC! (And the only one utilizing double bass drums too, I believe, heard here to grand effect!) Read more
