DC Diary 7.10.09

Air studios, where we recorded the King Crimson album Starless and Bible Black used to be high above Oxford Circus, just a stagger from the Speakeasy Club.  Some while ago it moved to a disused Church in Hampstead, two minutes walk from where my daughter was born.  

It was the venue for last night's launch of the King Crimson 40th anniversary editions taking the form of 5.1 surround sound remixes. These have been created by Steven Wilson and the whole evening was kicked off with a wry account by Robert Fripp of King Crimson's relationship with the press over the last 30 years.

We were expecting a selection of tracks from In The Court of the Crimson King, Lizard and Red which we heard but the final track was a 5.1 mix of Lark's Tongues in Aspic Part One.  The moody sections with clearly different spatial dimensions were the most magical and the straight rock parts were not as rich.  LTIA pt 1, though was a real adventure from start to finish.

Sid Smith organised the event which was a treat for me in all sorts of ways.  Lovely to see John, Robert and Bill again and catch up with the other Crimson musicians and friends.

Andrew Keeling was there and took this photo of Crimsoid musos. From left to right: Bill Bruford, David Cross, Robert Fripp, Pete Sinfield,  Mike Giles, John Wetton and Mel Collins.

That's like the clash of
the schizoids, and the
crimzoids all in one.
I tried to explain that
to MoKa several months
ago as a friend, and she
could not grasp the impact
of Michael Giles.
 
All because of one drunk evening,
The whole perception was completely
misconstrued musically. This is
Michael Giles and Greg Lake together
with Robert Fripp, at a time when
progressive was at it's most purest form.
