In The Wake Of Vinyl
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Tue., Jan 10, 2012
Record Collector magazine awarded four stars to the vinyl edition of In The Wake Of Poseidon, and had this to say about it.
Definitive, de-vinyl Crimson
When it comes to reissue quality, it’s tough to usurp King
Crimson. Through the Panegyric label, their 40th anniversary has been
celebrated with stunning remasters of classic albums such as In The
Court Of The Crimson King, Starless And Bible Black, Islands and
Discipline. Their second album, In The Wake Of Poseidon, has also been
give five-star treatment on CD, and comes to you on vinyl – fittingly,
in its the original stereo mix. With Robert Fripp approving the
masters, the album has been cut to perfection and lavishly spread over
two sides of dinner plate-thick 200gm vinyl. Of course, it’s the music
that matters, and the album sounds wonderful. Peace – A Beginning is the
familiar opening fusillade of intricate power dominated by guitar and
saxophones, but the restrained Cadence And Cascade, with its quiet
opening passage, and Fripp’s pert acoustic flourish of Peace – A Theme
and Peace – An End shine through with a clarity and warmth that confirms
the quality of this reissue. As well as a perfectly-replicated
sleeve – right down to the rough texture – the LP also comes with a full
download card, the image on which craftily recreates the Cat Food/Groon
picture sleeve. You can grab yourself a copy here and here.
