As he gets older, Robert Fripp writes more and more like an eccentric college professor, and less like an actual human being.

Robert Fripp's ALWAYS been an eccentric college professor.  :rollin

Yeah, uh. This may have made my day, and I thought it was already good with the DT box set arriving.

That's a pretty badass line-up, and its funny that I was just listening to Ministry this morning too.

Indeed. The only part of the update I understood was this line:

Quote from: Nekov on September 24, 2013, 07:26:27 AM
King Crimson is in motion.
Which is good enough for me.  :biggrin:

The line up looks fine, but it's pretty much the same one that recorded A Scarcity of miracles two years ago, right? I don't know why they needed three drummers and I'm slightly disappointed that Adrian Belew isn't in it, but oh well, it's not like I'll be able to catch them live. Never say never, though.

Well Mladen, while that is true, I think bringing back Tony and Pat will take this to a different level. A Scarcity of Miracles had a lot of King Crimson but didn't really sound like it, I'm thinking this will

Nothing sounds like King Crimson.  The 80's band didn't sound like any of the 70's bands, and the 90's band only had a slight connection to the 80's band despite having most of the same members (though only some of the time).  The ProjeKcts each had some of the Crimson sound, but were meant to be offshoots to begin with.

This band will probably sound most similar to the 90's-00's band, but even that is conjecture.  Typically, when King Crimson reforms after a hiatus, Robert has taken the opportunity to reinvent the band.

From this, it could be a serious reinvention:
Quote
Writing on his (not yet published) dairy for September 24th Fripp notes "The Point Of Crim-Seeing was of a conventional Back Line – Gavin Harrison, Bill Rieflin, Tony Levin and Pat Matstelotto - reconfigured as the Front Line, with Mel Collins, Jakko Jakszyk and myself as Back Line."

Ok, saw a little more, it looks like there will be a tour, but nothing said about original music.  However, something was said about a serious rework of existing material to accommodate the new instrumentation.

Even though Fripp said there's no plans for new music, I would not be surprised if a new album comes out of this lineup. I mean, less than a year ago Fripp had quit the music business and now look what he's doing.

Agreed. Fripp is the definition of unpredictable.

And that's why I didn't freak out too much when he "retired" from music forever.

Yeah, he even did this, which was probably the least predicable thing for him to do.

Surely the 2008/2009 band also had a distinct sound compared to the early 2000s band.

Listening to Red again, I realise I'd forgotten quite how great the bass solo on Providence is, and how great John Wetton's playing all over that album is in general.

Reminds me that Steven Wilson still owes us a high quality stereo remix of Red. Any news if it's ever going to happen?

Finally. The 30th anniversary remaster isn't too bad and could stand by itself, but listening to it alongside the Steven Wilson mixes of the other albums makes it weird.

I'm not sure if I want to put down money for another version of Red when I already have the first.

Maybe if it's much, much better.

I'm just hearing King Crimson for the first time right now - "Epitaph".

It is so beautiful, it's nearly tear-inducing.  Very affecting.   Wow....   :'( :heart

I guess "In The Court of the Crimson King" is an album to get...

It is.

Be forwarned, however, that it is very different from what King Crimson would later become.  The band is truly progressive in that it has continuously changed its format and sound.  The first couple of albums are somewhat similar, but even then, they pretty much did whatever they wanted, and being consistent with what they'd done previously was not a huge consideration.

Make sure you get the Steven Wilson remixes (40th anniversary editions), seriously. Remixes and remasters are often lousy but this is a rare exception.

"Epitaph" is one of their best songs, so no surprise you like it so much. :)

Someone already mentioned "Starless," but also check out "Matte Kudasai," "Frame By Frame," "The Night Watch," "In The Wake Of Poseidon" and then, finally, the epic "Lizard." King Crimson runs the gamut from soft and beautiful to some of the most chaotic, abrasive and heavy progressive rock imaginable.  Give "21st Century Schizoid Man," "Larks Tongue In Aspic: Part II," "Thela Hun Ginjeet" and "Cat Food" a listen for examples of their latter sound. :)

Definitely at least listen to In The Court Of The Crimson King. It's a landmark album and while it's not my favorite album by them, everyone should hear it at least once. The 40th Anniversary Edition is the best sounding version, but I don't know how readily available it still is. Might be a bit pricey to get a hold of, but it is worth it. :)

I'll give 'em a whirl.  I don't care for harsh,  abrasive, chaotic music of any genre...but I wouldn't have known I didn't like it if I'd never heard it, right?   ;)

Thanks for the suggestions. Discovering new music, to me, is like discovering I love someone. Extremely rare, really exciting...but never as inevitably disappointing.   :-\   ;D

Extremely rare that I stumble upon new music.  :)

I'm not often *searching* per se...but I see suggestions on music boards or on Facebook, check it out and am very often blown away.  It's great.
