  Sustaining! March 19, 2012
Written by syncopatico
Concurring heartily with previous reviews! I’ve actually "always" loved Lizard (and felt the initial stereo mix and mastering was *state of the art* for 1970 (especially the drum sound!) so i haven’t quite understood all the hubbub over the new Steven Wilson mix enabling this album to be heard clearly and spatially ’correct’ for the first time (in regards to his new stereo mix anyway); 5.1 will have to wait for this sonic resistor.
Getting back to the alternate take selection at hand, it would be interesting to know the order or number of each of the four solos recorded for Prince Rupert’s Lament (obviously we DGM visitors have only heard this alternate and the master so far of course). This particular alternate solo sounds slightly ’busier’ than the master (could this have been an earlier take?), and is as equally as valid, with perhaps a fadeout beginning at approximately 2:00 and ending at 2:12 on that long sustained note/bend being effective (on the alternate reality master/album) before Big Top kicks in.
I agree with the choice of removing the clean chordal accompaniment for the album--its presence makes the solo sound not quite lamentable enough--but is very interesting in this context to hear what RF was originally playing/listening/responding to.

Quite what the punters at these gigs made of this I can’t imagine. Those expecting hundreds of notes per minute might have had a problem with this material. Listening to it now, I find it Read more

Regardless of what he thinks (most musicians are never happy with thier sound, anyway), Giles had the best sounding snare drum ever recorded, hands down. What a great find! Thanks, Stormy...

Giles may never have been happy with the sound of his drums, but I just find it extremely beautiful.
Thanks for another gem, Stormy!

One of the most distinctive drums sound ever put to tape. I can tell it’s Mike Giles’ kit from a million miles away. As instantly recognizable as Fripp’s guitar from this Read more

This is a record I’ve been coming back to often over the last few months, largely because it’s so free-flowing and exploratory. There is a lot of long, sorrowful sweeps here, but they’re not intense - they come and go Read more
