King Crimson
Salisbury
31 Oct 2022

Stripping back the layers of instrumentation to peer through to the inner core of a song is always an interesting exercise. This latest demix from Alex Mundy offers Crimheads an opportunity to go, metaphorically at least, ahem, into Into The Frying Pan. Initially beginning life as a descending/ascending motif developed by Fripp and Gunn it was prominently featured during King Crimson’s fraKctalisation in 1997, firstly in ProjeKct Two and all the subsequent iterations. In this version, we hear for the first time alternative guitar breaks from Belew, especially those tenaciously clawing their way into the unfolding soundscapes at the conclusion of the main song section. Belew’s vocal experimentations are every bit as interesting as anything the instrumental players come up with. Speaking in 2001, Adrian stated that the strange patina on the vocals across 2000’s The ConstruKction Of Light, reflected his interest in processing his voice in a microtonal fashion perhaps echoing the ‘fractal’ approach that had been taken overall. “Instead of it being just 12 notes, it’s split up into 32 notes in the vocals. So you have all these little notes that are in between the normal notes.”


Good listen
