My thanks to the many folks pointing our attention in the direction of this resignation letter from Goldman Sachs by one of their executives. Many of the points in the letter address issues responsibility towards clients, transparency, and acting in accord with what is right, and will chime with many of the points raised in Robert Fripp's diaries over the last few years.

The Wine Of Silence
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Mon., Mar 5, 2012
After several years in the making, the orchestral soundscapes album, The Wine of Silence will be released on April 30th 2012.
Based upon meticulous transcriptions by the California Guitar Trio’s Bert Lams, Andrew Keeling’s startling and impressive orchestrations were recorded by the Metropole Orchestra in 2003. With those tapes subsequently treated by David Singleton - co-producer of all of Fripp’s Soundscapes recordings to date - The Wine Of Silence forms a sublime and often moving collection of contemporary orchestral music. Pre-order details will be announced shortly. You can read my take on the album over on the blog.

Crim On Coe
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Tue., Feb 28, 2012
My thanks to Andrew John for alerting me to some impending Crimson on the radio. Andrew writes "it’s been a long time since I was able to point out to my mother
that King Crimson are refered to in the BBC Radio Times. Get yourselves
tuned to Gideon Coe this Thursday and wallow in the recognition only
occasionally the popular media affords ’our’ band. What is
chosen to be played will be interesting in itself." The session in question is likely to be the old BBC In Concert session taken from the Concertgebouw Night Watch concert. We wait with baited breath until Thursday!

Well Fancy That...Part 823
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Wed., Feb 22, 2012
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."

Orchestral Soundscapes In Concert
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Wed., Feb 22, 2012
My thanks to Fred Bruinenberg for reminding the news page that tickets for the Orchestral Soundscapes concert in the Netherlands on May 6th 2012 are now on sale. The soundscapes are orchestrated by Andrew Keeling, based upon Bert Lams' transcriptions of Fripp's preferred method of making a lot of noise with one guitar. Though Robert is not performing at this concert in May it is hoped that the long-awaited CD of orchestral soundscapes performed will be available at the time.
Andrew Keeling himself has a new album of contemporary classical music out next month called Unquiet Earth. Check out the Spaceward website for further details.
