Keeling Brought To Book
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Tue., Apr 3, 2012
Robert’s recent diary entry featured a photograph of Andrew Keeling’s King Crimson analysis.

In response to several queries, all three books can be obtained directly from Andrew’s publishers, Spaceward.

Andrew also has a new rock album out called Bells Of Heaven. Featuring a full rock band with contributions from Comsat Angels’ Stephen Fellows and No-Man’s Tim Bowness, the album was recently reviewed in R2 magazine: "It’s a hugely ambitious and complex work, as intricate in its construction as it is in its assemblage of supporting musicians and if it’s reasonable to describe it as progressive then it’s gently progressive; there’s a lightness of touch that belies its intricacies."

You can grab Bells Of Heaven here.
