King Crimson - Did We Make The Album?

Riding in like the soundtrack to a lost Wild West apocalypse movie, a previously unreleased remnant from the THRAK sessions looms into view.
Based around one of Tony Levin’s patented earth-digging grooves,
Belew takes up some ornery growling guitar wreathed in Fripp’s soundscapes above the cantering beats from Bruford and Mastelotto.
As Gunn enters with some swooning, lyrical lines of his own, the piece is maintaining a steady gaze upon groove and deep texture.
At around five minutes the introduction of an ascending chord sequence suggests that the team was feeling their way around a song. There’s almost a hint of People’s DNA somewhere in there to these ears, but clearly different.
Gunn, Fripp, and Belew’s lead lines are beautifully intertwined after that first chorus and there’s a gorgeous moment near 7.00 minutes when some strings rise up adding a spectral grace to the stomp. For a moment I wondered if these might be emanating from the Mellotrons that were parked up in Real World Studio but Mr.Stormy attributes these to Belew’s string patch.
A sustained groove that’s filled with fascinating flora and fauna of the Crim variety.

I perfectly remember that Saturday in 1995 (I think, maybe my recollection is not so perfect) when I drove to a place in Italy beyond the border, just to buy bootlegs of Sabbath, Stones and similar. Then I saw on the shelf a new official album by King Crimson and almost choked, of course I bought it. “thak!” THRAK was a great album! Likewise this track, unbelievable soundscape, particularly the bass. If I had not written half the story of my life already in this comment, I would say I am speechless.

that's something I remember Bill Bruford talking about in an interview, he said in the THRAK band that he wanted to act more like how Jamie Muir acted in the Larks' band. He said something like he was the chaos factor, I can't remember lol, but he said Pat was playing the more steady beat a lot of the time and he wanted to be a disruptor to that. Super cool approach. Adds a very dynamic element to the music

You should check out the 1997 Nashville Rehearsals CD from KCCC. A 2nd album was likely to have a much more jazzy approach and also follow a more whacky riff approach ala Dig Me or ProzaKc Blues. The calm Walking on Air/One Time esc song can be heard developing on the track Sas Woman Jam... which automatically makes it my favorite. I vastly prefer calm Crimson over crazy Crimson.

Mundy, you have no idea how glad I am this is a Stormy Monday of yours. Like holy shid, sessions from KC V, the THRAK era/double trio... I know those are out there in the caverns of the DGM archives, but the description is on par. I must ask who wrote it; Sid Smith? David Singleton? Point is, the DNA of People being in this makes me ecstatic; that Crimson song is somehow my top favorite song in general. The tonality of everyone, Bobby scaping the sounds (as well as the SUPER HUGE WONDERFUL SOUND he throws in THRAK's title track), Belew going ham on his guitar as always, Bill rollin' the kit, and Pat with the tink a dink sounds I adore, Tony's heavy badass groove, and the wah noises of Trey's stick... I needed this. This is the peak Crimson soup I'll enjoy. And yes Bill, they made the album.

I had the opportunity to watch KC live on october 2019 and it remains as the best show I've ever seen. I hope I get another chance someday. I long for a new album soon, regardless if it's live or studio.

Unreleased material for sure, but at near 77y old, I doubt that Fripp is willing to put the necessary energy in something like this. RF has always pushed that KC is more a way to do things than his own input... Maybe is it time to introduce some younger people to such a way to do... Have you listened to Maria Barbieri playing Fracture and Larks' Tongues?

@ElizondoAbelardo 3 жыл бұрын

@@sunsetman22 my problem with Thrak is that I feel like Fripp tends to go on a darker, more serious direction instrumentally, like wanting to go back to the sound of Red after their 80s stuff, but Belew's lyrics and singing are quite goofy (even more than in the 80s), giving the album a certain crisis of direction. In other words, as for making a modern Red, Fripp totally delivers but we just don't get the same level of songwriting as songs like Fallen Angel or Starless, and I feel that really affected their last 3 albums

@christopherjobin-official7440 8 ай бұрын

@@ElizondoAbelardoI disagree... Not that they went in a more Red direction in terms of sounds and simultaneously went even more whacky-Belew with lyrics, but that it feels directionless... The thing is that it isn't (and doesn't have to be) a return to Red form. The album is very cohesive, not directionless. It doesn't even sound that much like Red! In fact, I'd say Red feels pretty different and directionless when listened with the rest of the Larks' era (not a bad thing). Double Trio King Crimson is peak King Crimson to me. The only thing I think feels even a little directionless is the live performances, due to the fact that it's half Discipline era and half Double Trio... I DONT EVEN MIND! Because a lot of Discipline era songs get new bits and changes that make it more distinct from the actual 80's performances of the songs. I'm really pointing to Indiscipline's new focus on Bill and Pat, which would lead to the eventual three drummer focus in Seven Headed Beast Crimson! I adore all eras of King Crimson, unashamedly. Every era of Crimson is the best era, but I definitely think the Double Trio was the best live Crimson ever got (without David Cross and Wetton, atleast.)
