Notes
This track was one of Stormy's Monday selections. It is currently unavailable, but will be part of his next bumper collection. His Fourth year of treasures from the murky, cavernous DGM archives, are now available for your fetishization .

Here’s a real treat. Mel Collins improvising to the song part of Starless. The unrestrained lyricism of the playing, and the sense of melancholic yearning in the notes is incredibly moving. Isolated away from the main instruments, this unused take at times sounds similar to the chilled meditative work of Jan Garbarek or John Surman. Of course the beauty and elegance contained in these show exactly why Fripp once called Mel Collins the guv’nor and still does!

Superb sax solo by Mister Mel Collins. Another Mr. Stormy’s gem. What more can I say ? Beautiful. Amazing. Btw, did you notice that the KC line-up as presented on the page features all the 4 band members, although they don’t appear on the tape, and no Mel Collins ? Thanks for all these great Monday gifts. Cheers.
