Although he claims he was never happy with the drum sound achieved at Wessex Studios, there's no denying that hearing Michael Giles work around the kit in such close detail is breathtaking. With just Fripp's acoustic and Lake's bass guitar as accompaniment Mister Stormy lets you about as close as you're ever likely to get to the recording sessions of a truly groundbreaking album. This is a must-have for fans of Michael Giles drumming and all fans of the first King Crimson album.
