Given the task of writing arrangements for the three drummers by Fripp, Gavin Harrison outlined his approach. “There’s a lot of challenges because not only are you thinking about what you’ve got to play but you’ve also got to consider what the other two guys are playing from their point of view the parts, and also thinking from a perspective of frequencies so that it’s not too muddy in the low end…We don’t necessarily have to play what was on the original record for example, and in fact it quite often works better when we don’t.” Perhaps the most significant example of this last point was the new brisk military-style march underpinning the ‘verse’ sections of Red. While some warmed to the somewhat rigid patterns others found the stiffness somewhat indigestible. The following year this arrangement was significantly revised.
