My thanks to Festus who came upon this story in the NME about the difficulties artists have making money from YouTube. Festus writes "Interesting that the band have figured out that they aren't being paid
by their old label (EMI !!!!!) for their videos being streamed. I'm glad I play bass with friends as a hobby, it would brreak my heart to get involved in such a bad business."

Crimso 1971 Tour Bundle Goes Live
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Mon., Apr 23, 2012
The results of Mister Stormy’s sonic tweaking of the 1971 Boz-era live recordings goes live today. Starting with the Guild Hall in Plymouth and ending in the Academy of Music, New York, there are some great gigs for fans to get their teeth into. 16 gig for just $66.00 FLAC / $50.00 MP3 has to be a bargain!
Arguably the greatest find in the trawl through the Crimson archives is a previously unheard set on the second night at the band’s stint at The Marquee, in pristine sound board quality. Whilst available for downloading now as either an individual concert or as part of the bundle, this concert will also be made available as a CD as part of the KCCC series later this year.

Camping With Crim!
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Mon., Apr 23, 2012
My thanks to rrossi for sending me this link. Rrossi writes "The May/June 2012 issue of "Ulster Magazine", a publication based in and
about Ulster County, NY (home of recording studios used by KC and
various band members, village of Woodstock, former home of T. Lev, etc.)
has an excellent article about last year’s fan camp hosted by Tony, Ade
and Pat. Being in digital format, it’s easy to access and read. There’s
even a video clip by the article’s writer. Good stuff! "

The Wine Of Silence
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Thu., Apr 19, 2012
The latest edition of Prog magazine has some words of praise for the forthcoming The Wine Of Silence release. Occupying a half-page column in the reviews section of the magazine, journalist Rob Hughes asks “...is it any good? The answer, resoundingly, is yes. Taking its title from a typically gnomic Frippicism dating back to 1980, The Wine Of Silence is a stirringly emotive set that takes his original improvisations for guitar (which Fripp would then feed through a digital delay unit to build said Soundscapery) and transmutes them into the classical realm. It might all appear a bit arty on paper, but the reality is often very beautiful and moving.
Nothing quite illustrates this better than Miserere Mei, which amounts to 15 minutes of sombre, string-soaked majesty, complete with Gorecki harmonies and monastic incantations. Likewise the similarly sized Requiescat is a stately procession of violins and cellos, rolling out over the ether and lofted heavenward by subtle fanfares of brass and a sumptuous choral arrangement...
Sometimes, as on Black Light or Miserere Mei, it can get eerily disquieting and ominous. At others there’s a sense of gradual and sustained uplift. Gorgeous, in a word."
You can order the album at Inner Knot and at Burning Shed.

Keith Jarrett & Snapping
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Wed., Apr 18, 2012
"It's not that I don't like my picture taken. It has
absolutely nothing to do with that. It's a process here. It's not something
photographable. When people take whatever they take home with them, it's
meaningless. BUT IT SCREWS WITH US." Thanks to Bijouboy for the heads-up on this article about Keith Jarrett.
