DGM Sound World I

King Crimson
Salisbury
30 May 2022

“Can we listen?” suggests Bill Bruford at the end of the take of Vrooom. Here’s a deep drill down into the worlds of the Double Trio. Metaphorically speaking, on one side of the room, we have Adrian, Tony, and Pat, while over on the other side, there’s Robert, Trey, and Bill. By isolating the two trios, Alex Mundy brings the listen up close to these respective performances. For each of the players, the sessions at Real World Studios were dogged with problems when it came to getting a decent headphone mix, just one of the challenges facing all six as they attempted to bring their different approaches and passes to create a unified and powerful whole. There’s much fun to be had to compare and contrast these isolated trios against the original version released in 1995 and the Jakszyk/Fripp remixes in 2015.
