Who Said This?

Musing upon the influences in his early career. 

"But even in the early days we used to feel that we were rushing things, though we struggled on playing how we wanted to play, and then King Crimson appeared on the scene, and we thought they were just magnificent; doing the same kind of things that we wanted to, but so much bigger and better. And we used to think, 'they’d never allow themselves to be rushed.. why do we?', and we built Crimson up into giant mythical proportions inside our heads, because they were putting our ideals into practice – musically, and in the way they were being handled.”

No prizes on offer, just the usual smug feeling induced by putting the correct answer on the guestbook.  I’ll put the answer up in a day or so.
