Say what you will about prog in general and King Crimson in particular: I'm well aware that not everything the band has done over the years has been solid gold (though I'm clearly more biased than most), but for me they are the ONE prog band of their vintage that never forgot the root of the word "progressive" is "progress." That sense of adventure colors everything they've done, now even extending to their treatment of archival material.
I'd agree with you. It's pretty similiar IMHO with Miles and the whole fusion thing. Oddly enough, the thing I 'm the least enthousiast about in the new Crimson is Fripp - his solos are exactly the same they were 20 years ago, and he did not introduce new elements neither compositionally nor sonically.
