As part of the 50th anniversary of King Crimson's classic 1973 album 'Larks' Tongues in Aspic', David Singleton at DGM was mixing every single take of the original studio sessions. These unreleased early takes are presented not as traditionally blended pieces, but with maximum separation, mimicking the experience of sitting in the studio with the individual elements being performed around you. The “Elemental mixes” apply this same approach to the main album takes. An excitingly fresh view on the familiar, with the focus often falling in unusual places, some originally hidden, some unused. Four of the album’s core tracks appear as 2023 Elemental Mixes here.

David Singleton explains the process in his video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nf6bG4KZBxk which we will re-post on King Crimson's social sites, for the digital release of this Elemental Mix album.
