"Giles, Giles & Fripp stand poised to grasp the pinnacle of success - yea, the acme of achievement - to bask in the sunshine of mass-adulation and thrill to the ecstasy of millions. Or else to plummet into unplumbed depths of ignominy, unloved, unheeded and poor. Giles, Giles & Fripp stand poised."
