 out of 5 stars5 out of 5 stars5 out of 5 stars5 out of 5 stars5 out of 5 stars5 out of 5 stars6 out of 5 starsRF interview   June 13, 2006
Written by Earl_Exxon

Now this is not a review in the usual sense, since it is dealing with is an interview and not a piece of music.

I believe this is the first time I’ve heard the voice of RF. I may have heard him back in 1979 when he was on his Frippertronics tour, but I can’t remember it.

While english is not my native language I may have missed parts here and there, but what I hear is an open minded, curious and very friendly gentleman.

Many of his visions then did not come to life as he hoped, but he surely has accomplished many other things like reviving KC twice, Guitar Craft and the Soundscapes thing keeps evolving.

When I compare to what RF writes in his diaries nowadays it occurs to me that RF is not too happy with parts of his past. Though I like his writings, his observations, comments and photographing, it seems to me he likes the role as a grumpy old man.

That’s why the interview stroke me by surprise, this very friendly gentleman.

O.H.E.

This recording’s mix is clearly presenting Trey’s contribution to the double trio on right channel. Highly recommended (and headphones). Cheers Ps. of course, the rest beside Trey is fantastic as well :-) Read more

Just making my way through the 2013 dgm-bundle of double trio crimsoning, I come to a halt now in St. Petersburg, FL: Take a deep breath, wait, reflect - this was a really outstanding gig in a series of regularily excellent Read more

Of Stick And Slit Drum   Tue., Mar 19, 2013
Posted by: syncopatico
I’d recognize that 17/16 pattern anywhere! Wonderful to hear *just* the "rhythm section" especially the modulation in the second half of the piece when Bill switches the percussion from the more genteel slit drum accents to the heavier boobams, rototoms Read more

A Testament to George Chkiantz   Thu., Mar 14, 2013
Posted by: syncopatico
Whenever I hear recorded evidence of King Crimson in 1973/74 I’m reminded of the superb audio recording/engineering talent(s) of George Chkiantz! Each instrument can be heard clearly in the overall mix: the guitar occupying its proper space, a full Read more

Judging by this performance and the Atlanta one the following week, Crimso were really on fire at this point - moreso than usual. While the sound quality isn’t pristine and has some occasional dropouts, it is certainly listenable Read more
