Since we have Peter Gabriel and Jon Anderson in Prog Related, why not
let Michael Giles keep them company? I'm all for inclusion.

	Everybody knows Michael Giles as a King Crimson drummer; he is also a member of the one-shot project called McDonald and Giles as well as one of the Giles, Giles and Fripp members. All the mentioned groups and projects are presented in the site, but the solo album of Michael Giles is not. I would be very surprised if I realise that not many of you know about the existence of this album. Nevertheless, the album is called "Progress" (as far as I know, the only album by Michael Giles). It was recorded in the early 70's but got released in 1978 (the title on the cover says: Michael Giles - "Progress" - circa 1978). The name of the album surprisingly fits my suggestion to include it in the site. As I am not a musical expert I cannot define the genre of the album exactly; it sounds like a mixture of jazz/rock (or fusion) with psychedelia. Personally, I enjoy everytime I'm listening to it. I would like to see it included in PA. If there is any need, I can post here the track-list of the album (with the tracks length), the line-up (including the instruments played) etc. Please, post your thoughts and opinions about the album itself (if you are familiar with it) and about the suggestion to include it in PA. Thank you.
