King Crimson

Merkwürdig, dass da nicht wenigstens alle Studioalben erwähnt werden (vor allem "Islands", "In The Wake Of Poseidon", "The ConstruKction Of Light" und "The Power To Believe"), stattdessen aber ein Live-Album (bei weitem nicht das beste) und eine der vielen EPs...
Und für mich gehören "Starless..." und "Larks' Tongues..." definitiv noch in die erste Kategorie.
 
Neuster Beitrag in der Youtube-Reihe zum 50. Jub.:

King Crimson's The Mincer & The Law Of Maximum Distress (komplett! - unbedingt den Kommentar anhören!) from 1973 is the focus of this week's 50th Anniversary track.

 
Gestern Live in Toronto auf Vinyl für 109 € bestellt.
Ist schon Wahnsinn, aber egal.
Nach der USA die beste Live Aufnahme m.M.n

In The Wake Of Poseidon habe ich auch vermisst. Für mich die zweitbeste King Crimson.
 
Ich dürfte welche verpennt haben, dennoch:

This week's 50th-Anniversary download from King Crimson is the 2006 remix of Ladies Of The Road. The piece was originally uploaded on DGM in 2006 to mark the passing of Boz Burrell. It seems fitting that this version is made available on the 12th anniversary of Ian Wallace's death...

Taken from a cassette recording - with audio restored and mastered by DGM - Live in Newcastle, December 8, 1972 showcases the Larks' Tongues in Aspic line-up shortly before it went on to produce that classic album.

Despite its source, this is the best sounding live recording of the incredible Fripp, Wetton, Bruford, Cross and Muir King Crimson configuration.

---------

It’s remarkable, from this distance in time, to imagine that a band with four chart albums (and an official live bootleg) in its history and the reputation such entailed, could embark on a UK tour with a completely new line-up featuring just a single surviving founding member, playing a set consisting of newly composed material, some on the spot improvisations and, usually, an encore of one familiar tune - 21st Century Schizoid Man - and be expected by management and promoters not just to fill halls around the country but to sufficiently entertain the audiences from city to city so as not to get bottled off stage. 

Welcome to King Crimson’s autumn/winter tour of the UK in 1972.
!

The best single live example of Jamie Muir’s short time with this line-up, this was King Crimson confidently playing the material that would, for the most part, make up the classic Larks’ Tongues in Aspic album.

Live in Newcastle, December 8, 1972 is the 48th title in the King Crimson Collectors’ Club series.

1. Larks’ Tongues in Aspic Part One
2. Book of Saturday
3. Improv I
4. Exiles
5. Easy Money
6. Improv II
7. The Talking Drum

This week's download celebrating 50 years of King Crimson centres upon the remarkable talents of pianist Keith Tippett who made such telling and decisive contributions to In The Wake Of Poseidon, Lizard, and Islands. David Singleton introduces his work on Lizard - the isolated piano track for Prince Rupert Awakes and a bonus of Tippett's pastiche lines that went into Big Top.

The ReconstruKction of Light – is the fourteenth release in the acclaimed King Crimson 40th anniversary series.
• CD features a “re-imagined” edition of the album with all drums replaced by Pat Mastelotto & the entire album remixed to accommodate these changes by Don Gunn (who mixed last year’s Meltdown: Live in Mexico set.
• DVD-a features the new mixes in hi-res stereo audio.
• DVD-a also features the album in lossless 5.1 Surround Sound as mixed by David Singleton.
• All new mixes were approved by the set’s Executive Producer Robert Fripp.
• The original album mix is included in hi-res stereo
• As a bonus feature, the complete ProjeKct X album – Heaven & Earth is included.
• Presented as a 2 x digi-pack format in a slipcase with new sleeve notes by King Crimson biographer Sid Smith along with rare photos & archive material.

When the Double Trio line of Fripp, Belew, Levin, Mastelotto, Bruford, and Gunn wanted to develop new material at the end of the THRAK-era in 1997, they broke down into smaller groups, a process which Fripp dubbed fraKctalisation. This resulted in a series of different groupings which were called The ProjeKcts (and a series of releases now gathered on the Heaven & Earth boxed set).



When the individual players regrouped as King Crimson, the band was now a double duo consisting of Belew, Fripp, Gunn, and Mastelotto with Tony Levin and Bill Bruford leaving to fulfil other recording and touring commitments.
 The next period of KC activity resulted in the album The ConstruKction of Light (from 2000). Perhaps appropriately, for an album with the theme of building in its title, ConstruKction has undergone the most radical change of all KC albums thus far - effectively being rebuilt from the ground up.

The loss of the original recordings of the electronic drums allowed Pat Mastelotto to completely re-record the material on his current acoustic/electric kit making for a virtually completely new album of familiar material.

The album is presented here in new stereo and 5.1 Surround Sound editions, along with the original mix and, as a bonus inclusion, the complete ProjeKct X Heaven & Earth album, which was issued as a companion volume to the original album.

The fifteenth - and final - release in the King Crimson 40th Anniversary series.

The Power To Believe, originally issued in 2003 is King Crimson’s final studio album, to date. Drawing in part on material issued on the 2001 live mini-album Level 5 and the 2002 studio mini-album Happy With What You Have To Be Happy With, the album represented the final statement from the double duo which had recorded and toured from 2000.

It was produced by Machine with post-production work by David Singleton and Robert Fripp allowing for the inclusion of additional elements and edits prior to release.

The CD features an enhanced, expanded master of the album.

a series of releases now gathered on the Heaven & Earth boxed set

Jetzt wird es richtig schmerzvoll und teuer, auch wenn ich einiges von dem ProjeKcts-Kram schon habe:

blobid1553798455777.png


Heaven and Earth is the most comprehensive boxed set in the series to date, covering just over a decade in King Crimson’s extensive history.

It presents the most complete account of the ProjeKcts series with concerts by P1 – 4 & the sole studio recording of P1 in addition to a huge selection of ProjeKct albums and related recordings.

When the Double Trio line of Fripp, Belew, Levin, Mastelotto, Bruford, and Gunn wanted to develop new material at the end of the THRAK-era in 1997 they broke down into smaller groups, a process which Fripp dubbed fraKctalisation.

As the various band members in different groupings sought to road test ideas in front of audiences the projeKcts, as they were called, often played in small clubs and away from large scale venues. As a result, this hugely creative undertaking was often unseen and unheard by the more general broader audience and to that extent the ProjeKcts can be said to represent ‘The Unknown King Crimson.’

Four CDs and two Blu-rays detail this risk-taking era in comprehensive detail.

When the individual players regrouped as King Crimson the band was now a double duo consisting of Belew, Fripp, Gunn, and Mastelotto with Tony Levin & Bill Bruford leaving to fulfil other recording and touring commitments.

The next period of KC activity resulted in two studio albums, a heavy touring schedule, a studio mini-album & a number of live releases on CD/DVD/download & ran to 2003.

The two studio albums are presented here for the first time in 5.1 surround mixes.

2000’s The ConstruKction of Light has undergone the most radical change of all KC albums thus far.

The loss of the original recordings of the electronic drums allowed Pat Mastelotto to completely rerecord the material on his current acoustic/electric kit making for a virtually completely new album of familiar material.

2003’s The Power to Believe has also benefited from additional sonic seasonings from the original recording sessions discovered by mixer/producer David Singleton & woven into the surround mix.

They are accompanied by a series of live recordings presented across 11CDs of live recordings taken from the various tours including a US show with Tool and a specially construKcted 3CD set from 2000 which interweaves improvs & the London concert to produce a very different, very powerful imaginary KC setlist.

Every night of the 2000 European tour was also filmed by DGM off-shoot company, Bootleg TV style. This had the advantage that the crew filming became equally familiar with the setlists, for example knowing when to get closer to particular musicians at key points, working out how best to film the improv sections and going with the flow of the gigs.

Most live concert films are precisely that: a film of a single performance or a couple of nights at a single venue.

With Bootleg TV filming evolved to match the band and this Blu-Ray details a very different approach to live filming, with over ten hours of live video footage as proof of concept.
It's also just one example of why, at one point it was thought that this era would have to run across two boxed sets but by utilising the full capacity of every disc included the entire history of the band in this era is presented, as it should be, in one place.

With King Crimson again off the road, in 2006 Adrian Belew and Robert Fripp became ProjeKct 6 and four of their concerts feature on Blu-Ray Disc 2.

Finally, CDs 17 and 18 present an idealised set-list drawn from the New York run of gigs from King Crimson’s 2008 US tour which saw the band playing live after an absence of five years. Following Trey Gunn’s departure, Tony Levin rejoined the band and with drummer Gavin Harrison making his debut with King Crimson both he and Pat Mastelotto foreshadow the elements that would make the three drummer set-up of the present-day incarnation of King Crimson so spectacular.

Eleven years, numerous ProjeKcts, dozens of concerts, complete studio recordings of the era, with re-recordings in new stereo & 5.1, and over 10 hours of live video footage, Heaven and Earth is the most extensive account of this part of King Crimson’s ongoing story.

This 24 disc - 18 x CD, 4 x Blu-Ray and 2 x DVD-A - set represents the most comprehensive collection in the series to date and covers the period from December 1997 to August 2008.
