Giles Giles & Fripp - Cheerful Insanity of Giles Giles & Fripp

2008 digitally remastered and expanded edition of this Psychedelic/Pop album from Michael Giles, Peter Giles and Robert Fripp, now featuring six bonus tracks. This great 1968 album is where it all began for the King Crimson stalwarts. An excellent late 60's album which touches on Psychedelic Pop, (often compared to early Syd Barrett era Pink Floyd) with Jazz influences and a whimsical brand of surreal humor. Fripp's guitar is on top form on "Suite No. 1" and shows the shape of things to come when in 1969 when he and Mike Giles teamed up with Greg Lake and Ian McDonald to form King Crimson. Esoteric.
