Suite No.1 - Giles, Giles and Fripp

This track is from The Cheerful Insanity of Giles, Giles & Fripp: it's an album recorded in 1968 by Robert Fripp, Peter Giles and Michael Giles. It's a very good album, though it's not very well known (to my knowledge). For more infos: http://www.elephant-talk.com/wiki/The_Cheerful_Insanity_of_Giles%2C_Giles_and... (sorry, but the audio quality is not very good)

the three idiots on the cover are fantastic :D

[robertveloz]

you have to develop the musculature along with other things like scale knowledge and many other things like timing and plectrum picking and chord fingerings and maintain a relaxed state of body of mind to be able to play like this so smoothly. so in other words it takes hard work and dedication and commitment

@newfuckingwave My friend knows a shitload about KC and everything and he said that both Giles-es gave drove him to a junkyard where they let Fripp go crazy and take anything. Supposedly he found a working reel-to-reel player and a bunch of other stuff and put it in his basement where it still lies today.

how the FUCK did they get fripp to smile for that photo?

This piece is much more classically influenced than Fripp's later work.

@portero36 yes indeed -ee-do ,you are right ! well,Fripp wrote it so he can re-visit it anytime he wants,right?!

[ghostfunk97]

PHISH- STASH LOL

[travsnipes1]

Wow just wow!

@WesB that crosspicking at 4 min in is especially unreal

[WesB]

how can a human being play this so god damn fast and clean? I've been trying to learn it and when i think i may have gotten it i play along with the recording and fripp is still playing 100000 times faster than i

[MatthewDovetail]

@portero36 Correct. But not only the chord progression, pratically the whole second movement of this suit was taken and rivisited by Robert Fripp. ;)
