On Tuesday 6th October, Crims of varying vintage gathered in Air Studios to listen to selections from the new surround sound mixes. Following an introduction from Robert Fripp, Steven Wilson gave a short talk about his approach to remixing the KC catalogue.

Alongside journalists from the UK, Japan, Poland, America and New Zealand, Peter Sinfield, Michael Giles, Mel Collins, David Cross, John Wetton and Bill Bruford, and Gavin Harrison heard 21st Century Schizoid Man, Epitaph, The Court of the Crimson King, The Battle of Glass Tears and Starless. By way of a preview for next year’s series of 5.1 mixes, Larks’ Tongues In Aspic Part One shook the walls and rattled the windows.
