King Crimson #2

Ik ga ook zo richting het paard. TheGrandWazoo ook.
Heb er erg veel zin in!

Het was prachtig! Misschien morgen weer...

Helaas kom ik er altijd weer te laat achter.

Had ik hier nog geen tvp.

Zo, vandaag "Discipline" weer eens uit mijn archief gehaald. Blijft een goede plaat.

Ik heb alleen Cirkus als album, en heb ze nog nooit live gezien, maar wat een band! De rustigere nummers (night watch, cadence & cascade, en van het Cirkus album: Dinosaur en Indiscipline) zijn echt nummers waar ik bij weg kan dromen. De (muzikaal) hevigere nummers (21st century schizoid man, catfood) blijven ook briljante vondsten. Een meester band waar ik geen spijt van heb deze te kennen...

Voor diegene die geinterreseerd zijn in een aantal exclusieve interviews met oud King Crimson leden kan ik jullie aanraden het volgende King Crimson forum een te bezoeken http://www.projekction.net

Bill Murphy heeft daar een aantal interviews gepost die hij heeft gedaan met Boz Burrell, Greg Lake, Jamie Muir, David Cross, Bill Bruford, Mike Giles, Peter Sinfield and Richard Palmer-James. Alle interviews zijn hier te vinden http://www.projekction.net/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=47
Kleine opmerking nog....wanneer je een comment wilt toevoegen of mee wilt discusieren of het forum moet je je wel ff registeren.

En was het jullie trouwens al bekend dat Tony Levin weer naar de Boerderij in Zoetermeer komt?
Zondag 17 Mei speeld hij er Stickman ( Pat Mastelotto en Michael Bernier)

Heb King Crimson pas geleden ontdekt, maar wat een verschrikkelijk goede band is dit zeg...

Welk(e) album(s) heb je geluisterd?

Chronologisch begonnen, nu bij Beat (die ik trouwens wat minder vind). Uitspatters van eerdere albums zijn toch Epitath en vooral Starless ...

Ik zweer toch wel bij in the court of the crimson king denk ik. Maar de rest is ook puik.

Van de komende albums beloven de songtitles VROOOM, B'Boom, VROOOM VROOOM en VROOOM VROOOM: Coda in ieder geval veel goeds

The Power to Believe Samen met Discipline mijn onbetwiste favoriet. (Maar ik heb de ProjeKcts-box dan ook niet.)

Overigens goed getime kick, want:

It Was 40 Years Ago Today...
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Tue., Jan 13, 2009
On this day 40 years ago, an as yet unnamed King Crimson started playing in their brand new rehearsal facilities in the basement of the Fulham Palace Cafe. Ian McDonald, having gotten out of bed at 1.00pm, did some flute practice as well as playing the Mellotron that had been occupying his place.

Then at around 7.30pm, Dik, Pete, Bob and Greg to come and shift the 'tron to the new rehearsal rooms on the Fulham Palace Road. Once they had set up, McDonald's diary also reveals the band a blow until just after 10.00 p.m.

Afterwards, Ian dropped Bob and Greg back to their place and then went on to Peter Sinfield's flat where they ate and wrote tunes to "two new riffs."

In The Court Of The Crimson King, Larks'Tongues in Aspic, Red, Discipline, THRAK en The Power To Believe zijn (in chronologische volgorde) mijn favoriete albums.

Voor mij In the Court of the Crimson King, Lizard, Larks' Tongues in Aspic, Red, Dicipline en The Power to Believe.


Als ik er 1 weg moet laten en 1 toe moet voegen.

Wel opvallend dat het laatste album dat ze gemaakt hebben inderdaad nog steeds 1 van de beste is. Voor de meeste andere bands die al in de jaren 70 actief waren heb ik toch zoiets van vroeger waren ze beter ...

Larks' Tongues in Aspic, Red, Dicipline , Thrak en The Power to Believe is mijn top 5 denk ik

Zijn er nog mensen die naar Tony Levin gaan aankomende zondag in de Boerderij? Heb mijn kaartje al een tijd en ben erg benieuwd

Starless word echt beter elke keer dat ik hem hoor. Wat een gigant van een nummer zeg...

King Crimson 40th Anniversary Editions
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Mon., Jul 13, 2009

Forty years ago this month King Crimson went onstage at Hyde Park London as part of a bill topped by The Rolling Stones. The concert propelled the band from being the “hottest new band in London” to “hottest new band in the UK” overnight.

This status was confirmed when their classic debut album In the Court of the Crimson King achieved a UK Top 5 chart placing upon release in October that year. Such chart success was quickly replicated elsewhere with the record entering the US top 30 and replacing The Beatles’ Abbey Road at the top of the Japanese International Artist chart by the end of the year.

To celebrate 40 years of the Crimson Kings, DGM & Panegyric proudly announce the release of a series of CD/DVD-A editions of the original King Crimson studio albums.

Each CD/DVD-A release features the full original album plus bonus tracks on the CD. Two of the titles – Lizard & In the Court of the Crimson King feature entirely new 2009 stereo album mixes by Steven Wilson & Robert Fripp.

The DVD-A presents each album fully remixed into stunning 5.1 Surround Sound with Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree) in the producer role and King Crimson founder member Robert Fripp as executive producer.

The 5.1 mixes are accessible in full MLP lossless audio on DVD-A players & DTS 5.1 on standard DVD players/DVD Rom drives. Additionally, High Resolution stereo is also accessible on the DVD-A (24/96 DVD-A & 24/48 DVD/DVD Rom).

Selected DVD-A titles in the series will also feature era specific, rarely seen, King Crimson video footage. Each album is presented in a double Digipack, with booklet artwork featuring new sleeve notes by Robert Fripp and King Crimson biographer Sid Smith alongside archive material and photos, enclosed in an outer card slipcase.

The first three titles are set for release this year with further titles to follow throughout 2010:

Red: September 21st 2009
In the Court of the Crimson King: October 12th 2009 (various editions)
Lizard: October 26th 2009
