much better than the other drivel he's been posting on FB during quarantine which has all been defensive stuff about random complaints people have made about his reluctance to do autographs over the years.

Ordered the Live at Summit Studios 1972 a few weeks ago, it's really great - probably one of my favorite Crimson things I've heard lately. Just a really great line-up and interesting configuration without the Mellotron.

Anyone else jealous that Fripp managed to find a wife who is just as much of an oddball as him? Us other oddballs and eccentrics have never found that joy.

their entire house is pretty ugly, if you have design tastes that were formed any time after 1965

Just heard the sad new that Keith Tippett has passed on. King crimson’s one of a kind piano player on In The Wake of Poseidon, Lizard, and Islands. Pure genius! pic.twitter.com/y0WKyTpcFt— fernando perdomo (@fperdomo) June 14, 2020

Considering how many people have been in KC, the band has fewer dead ex members than you'd expect; Wetton, Burrel, and now Tippett.
Bets on who's next? You lose points if your answer is "Robert Fripp if he keeps making those bloody viral videos with Toyah"

Oh yeah. Major brain fart there particularly on Bill.My vote is Pete Sinfield or Jamie Muir, who i’d actually thought died some time ago.

I never knew Tippett appeared with KC on Top of the Pops doing Cat Food. The notes on this youtube say that the original episode was wiped but this soundless version has been preserved (colorised here):

apologies if that's what you meant!
― sleeve, Monday, 15 June 2020 14:23 (four years ago) link
yes it's a dub; I assume that it was actually broadcast as a dub. They probably took the sound off the YT version to avoid a takedown notice. It's cool to see this full version though; the clip I'd seen prior was B/W and only part of the song.

I'm a bit into that Mercy Dash album he did with Hugh Hopper and Elton Dean in the 80's at the moment, marvellous stuff.

Muir is definitely someone I thought had passed away. There was that anecdote in the Jim O'Rourke interview someone posted on that other thread, where he goes to visit Derek Bailey, iirc, and one of Bailey's neighbors is Jamie Muir, who I can only hope would don a big, crazy fur cape when cooking out. I guess he's a painter now? Here's a more recent picture:

I'm finally getting around to getting Crimson on LP after decades of shitty Editions EG CDs and am now honing in on Islands as the last of the studio LPs I need. Anyone ever grab the recent reissues? I heard MP3s of the Steven Wilson mixes which were stunning, but wonder if I should not just go for an original pressing, to have the LP as intended.

I have a repress LP of Discipline which sounds fantastic.
― mike t-diva, Saturday, 20 June 2020 19:00 (four years ago) link
i think the wilson remixes on vinyl are the way to go, personally. I have originals or close to it for most of the albums but I do have the wilson mixes of Lizard and Wake and they just sound much better than anything else I have on vinyl from the band. I'll probably replace my 72-74 albums with the new ones soon since my copy of Red sounds pretty worn out.
― akm, Saturday, 20 June 2020 19:28 (four years ago) link
Are there any Wilson remixes of any of these prog albums that are not preferable to the original mixes?
― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 20 June 2020 19:30 (four years ago) link
some people didn't care for his yes remixes (I like them). I never really cared for Jethro Tull or ELP so I can't really compare those; I've heard them all but can't tell you which is better.

looks like they're releasing the Steven Wilson mixes as individual LPs. That's what I'll go for. I really liked what he did with Islands.
