Reissue of a long out of print classic from 1980 from these two fine, composers & instrumentalists....

This is the 1st of two collaborative albums that paired Hugh the composer with vocalist Lisa. Both of the albums they made are quite good, with Lisa's lyrics and vocals set against Hugh's compositions and programming. Also appearing are Hugh on fuzz bass, Elton Dean, and a couple of other guests. An interesting album of songs.

Newly lowered and extremely attractive pricing on this excellent box set. Hugely recommended to fans of 70s electronic sounds!

Philippe Besombes is a French electronic musician of the 70s and this reissues four of his works from the 70s, both solo and with his group Hydravion.
The two solo releases, Libra (1975) and Ceci Est Cela (1979) have both been previously released on CD by MIO, but they have been out of print for a decade. These include the bonus tracks that were on the MIO...

This set, which includes THREE ALBUMS of previously unheard live recordings from 1967-1969 by the band that grew out of Pärson Sound and turned into Trad, Gras Och Stenar and perfectly exemplified the mind meeting of Terry Riley with The Velvet Underground, is just a great as you would hope. Recommended.

“CIRKUS - originally issued in 1999 as a 30th anniversary celebration of the group's live output 0 offers an effective introduction to Crimson as a touring outfit. From the Fillmore West in San Francisco in 1969, via the Concertbouw Amsterdam in 1973, to the Spectrum Montreal in 1984. And on to Nakano Sun Plaza Tokyo in 1995, all eras of Crimson are represented and a variety of the band's most enduring music is featured. Crimson live has always been a very different beast in the concert hall compared to...

2004-issue, 24 bit HDCD remastered edition of the band's 80's comeback album (the drive to '84) with the bonus track of an alternative version of Matte Kundasai. [DGM]

Note: This is my personal opinion: Not even Robert Fripp can polish the sonic turd that is Earthbound and make it sound 'good'. Still, the Summit Studios stuff is quite good quality and there are bonus tracks which are better than most of what was originally on the album.

"The thirteenth release in the King Crimson 40th Anniversary series.
Earthbound was originally issued in 1972 and marked the final statement by the band's Islands-era incarnation.

* The CD features an...

"This 3 CD set draws together a collection of studio and live recordings of King Crimson as a double duo. It consists of three releases which were previously available individually, including Happy With What You Have To Be Happy With (2002 original y release date), Level Five (2001 original release date) and EleKtriK (2003 original release date)."

“In the Court of the Crimson King is really about as good as rock documentaries get” - VARIETY

“This elegant, intimate, funny and surprisingly moving film covers every aspect of the group — from its thorny interpersonal history to the almost religious loyalty it inspires in fans — and lays out exactly what makes Crimson such a singular and enduring musical force.” – ROLLING STONE

“King Crimson has been described as popular but never populist. Just as King Crimson has been, for more than...

2004-issue, 30th anniversary 24 bit HDCD remaster of their 2nd album.

The group's fourth studio album, now in a Steve Wilson full remix, and the end of 'mach 1' King Crimson, as it's the last with Mel Collins, who had served the Crimson King so well on #s 2-4, the last with the help of his Brit-jazz buddies like Keith Tippett, Harry Miller, etc., and the last with lyricist Peter Sinfield.

This is the new-new version of Islands, newly remixed by Steven Wilson with lots and lots of new things. The CD has a new stereo mix made from the original multi-track tapes as well as a group of six additional tracks that make for a nearly complete...

Fifth studio album and back in reinvigorated form with John Wetton, Bill Bruford, David Cross, Jamie Muir and bad Bob ripping out some amazing guitarwork!

"Larks' is the first of a studio trilogy that encompassed 'Starless and Bible Black' and 'Red' - a body of work that still sounds remarkable some 30 years later."

"Featuring 41 minutes of music in stereo (CD) and high resolution stereo (DVD-A), playable on all DVD players."

The surprising reunion tour that led to a 'everyone knew they would do this' but still quite groovy live disc....

This is a great sounding live release taken from a single night in the middle of the band's tour in November, 2015 from the surprising band reunion that gets nothing but very high marks from everyone who has seen it (they haven't come to my neck of the woods yet, so I am sadly not one of them!) and it's always nice to see new music from a seemingly fully engaged Robert Fripp and company! And it's a genuinely LIVE, live album!

Mel Collins: saxes & flute...

Their underrated third album and my 2nd favorite acid album back in the day (along with Soft Machine's Third [FACELIFT, dude] and We're Only In It For The Money; I guess I was into scaring myself!).
"The black abyss where jazz and rock meet." Yeah, baby. Bring It On!

This 2 CD set is completed with four pieces taken from the first concert of the tour's 2nd leg in Albany. The DC performance highlights a band in ferocious form, with a powerful, energetic set with some arrangements reworked and differing from previous tours.

“There’s a palpable sense of energy and enthusiasm from the audience captured on the tapes at this concert as King Crimson (sharing a European tour with then label band mates Roxy Music) take to the stage in Fréjus, France, in late Summer, 1982. With two albums’ worth of material to draw upon (Discipline, Oct 1981 & Beat, June 1982) &...

Sixth 'studio' album (more than half of it is live, actually) and back in reinvigorated form with John Wetton, Bill Bruford, David Cross and bad Bob Fripp! Includes the amazingly great tune "Fracture", which is worth the admission price alone. But you also get a bunch of other great stuff too, including The Great Deceiver. So, a must own.
