Steve Hackett - (1998 UK) The Tokyo Tapes

Steve Hackett - (1998 UK) The Tokyo Tapes

Hackett, Genesis and Crimson in ASIA sound

Having conducted a progressive rock workshop An Appreciation for GENESIS last week down here at Jakarta, Indonesia – I don’t know for some reason my attention then went on to Steve Hackett. For me personally, Hackett is a brilliant musician and composer, who was a very key member of Genesis. During the workshop, I played “Please Don’t Touch” tune just to indicate to the prog audience who participated actively at Mario’s Place (the workshop venue) that this tune has a strong historic value for Hackett, I believe. It’s because this song was originally approved by the band during the recording of “Wind and Wuthering” album but … at the later stage it was dropped by Phil Collins. So then … we all knew that Hackett left the band right after the release of Wind Wuthering and completing the tour which was recorded under “Seconds Out” live double album.

Hackett’s composition is for me so unique and he has explored his musical talent not limited to just rock but he also adventured into a blues, jazz and a bit of avant-garde music. Have you listened to “Mechanical Bride” (To Watch The Storm) or “Dark Town” (album title track)? You will find his interpretation of avant-garde music in these tracks.

This live album “Tokyo Tapes” has been with me since it was released and by then when I got it, I was not so impressed with this record. The main reason was being the fact that the sound is not like typical nuance of Hackett album. It’s totally different with “Voyage of The Acolyte” or “Spectral Mornings” or “Defector”. Something strange for me and I did not pay further attention with this record until recently. I try to spin many more times and forget about the Hackett nuance at all. It helps a lot because by doing so I do not need to expect anything on the sounds of this music at all. What I got was a totally different experience: the overall live album sounds like an ASIA album. It’s probably on John Wetton’s singing style which reminds me to his tenure with ASIA and not with King Crimson at all. So I call that this is like the music of Steve Hackett, King Crimson, and Genesis are being played with ASIA nuance. That’s what I feel.

Why liking this album?

Different Sound. Oh yes, this was actually the thing that turned me down to further explored this album – because the sound was not exactly what I expected with Steve Hackett. I thought that this album should not be titled under Steve Hackett solo album because I did not find the “soul” of Hackett music in here. Time went by and by the time I switch my mind by releasing any expectation at all from Steve Hackett, I then can easily enjoy the music this album offers. Even from the start of the album with “Watcher Of The Skies” (8:59) I can sense how this legendary track by Genesis is being played with modern keyboard sound of Julian Colbeck. Even when “Riding The Colossus” (3:32) is being played I can sense different sound than the “Genesis Revisited” album. This also happens beautifully with “Shadow of the Hierophant” (7:14) which offers different nuance under this version.

Music Experimentation. This thing happens wonderfully – to my ears – for tracks with great insertion of avant-garde style. This happens, for example – with “Firth Of Fifth” (9:32) . In a nutshell I don’t like this version until I find its beauty during interlude where this collaboration of genius musicians produce avant-garde style. I think Ian McDonald’s role in this nuance is very critical. This also happens with “Los Endos” where so far I has considered that the version of “Genesis Revisited” album is the best one but now I think this live version is also great. I especially like when Ian McDonald plays his inventive sax work. It’s great!

Collaborative Effort of Great Musicians. This is a live performance of great musicians from legendary bands like Genesis, Asia, King Crimson, Asia and even Frank Zappa. You can find ASIA track “Heat of The Moment” as well as King Crimson “The Court of The Crimson King” and “I Talk To The Wind”. All of them are performed combining the strengths of each individual musician from other bands. It’s very enjoyable to listen to Hackett’s guitar interpretation of Robert Fripp’s (King Crimson) unique guitar playing. Chester Thompson is Genesis’ drum player during tour, so he should be familiar with some Genesis tracks. For my taste, I do not actually enjoy his style of playing at this album. John Wetton plays like how he played with Asia and not in such a way represents his style with King Crimson (at all!). “Battlelines” (6:43) is the best example of Asia sound.

Why (you are) NOT liking this album?

Newbie. If you are newbie to prog or to any of Hackett, Genesis, King Crimson, or Asia music, I do not recommend you to have this album directly. It’s too risky for you if you have not listened to the studio albums before. But of course this is not a 100% guarantee because actually you might still have some holes on how to best enjoy this album. For newbie in prog, you should listen to the studio albums of Steve Hackett, Genesis and King Crimson prior to listening to this album.

Don’t want improvisation. well, I understand that some people are so peculiar on maintaining the originality of composition and don’t want to listen to any improvisation from its original version. If you are this kind of people, it’s gonna be very hard for you to enjoy this album.

Conclusion

I consider this album, overall, is an excellent addition to any prog music collection. I experience it myself that since couple of days ago I keep listening to this album many spins already. On other thing, I also like the insertion of some Genesis parts like “Cuckoo Caccoon” or “Blood on Rooftops” guitar shots in “Black Light”. This also happens with some improvisation on “Los Endos”. All of this sum up into one excellent album that any prog head should have. Keep on proggin’ ..!

King Crimson - (1993) The Concise King Crimson

King Crimson - (1993) The Concise King Crimson

Boxset/Compilation, released in 1993

I have taken the easy way to make a review, it´s easier to review a compilation or "Best of" than an a complex studio album.

King Crimson being a monster of Progressive Rock, is neccessary to be tasted by every prog fan, if you like it or not, that´s the less important, but you have at least to listen to them to haveyour persola criteria about the band, i think for deep prog fans like the most of the people in this site, is not important to own a compilation, at least it´s not that usual that i put my Bests Of in my CD player very often, sometimes is good because maybe you have the mood of listen to those classic songs (usually called hits) , but it´s obvious that we prefer much more the studio albums.

The fact is, that the opposite happens when you are a newbie, i mean, i have had the experience of people that are interested in new bands, the first thing that they do before buying the album , is download some songs, usually the most well known songs, and then they decide if dig the band or saty away, so my thoughts here is that a compilation or best of could be recommendable for people who is not familiar with the band or the songs, they probably dont know the names of the most beautiful albums, so the easy way is buying a compilation which supposes to contain the most representative songs (not always the best songs.

King Crimson had released some compilation albums, Sleepless is one of them, and maybe the one that i prefer.

A newcomer of King Crimson maybe won´t know that they have had several line up changes, and musical changes, in this album i think the track selection is suitable for newbies and also for Crimson lovers (as i said above, a Crimson lover won´t play a compilation that often, but sometimes it´s ood to have a nice time).

The order of the tracks is chronologically , which is a good point, because you will appreciate the different eras one by one, and not suddenly like in "The Compact King Crimson" which track list is not that different from this one, but the order makes it terrible to listen to. Also we won´t find the original songs, some of them have been edited to give pass to other ones, it´s only like a proof of what King Crimson music is about.

King Crimson - King Crimson Collector's Club 01 (1969) Live at Marquee

King Crimson - (1969) KCCC01 Live at Marquee

(Review from wikipedia, progarchives.com)

In 1998, King Crimson Collectors' Club (KCCC) were founded, a service that regularly releases live recordings from concerts, studio sessions and radio sessions throughout the band's career.

Live at The Marquee is the first of many KCCC albums. Tracks 1-7 believed to be recorded at the Marquee Club, London, UK, July 6, 1969. Track 8 was recorded at the Fairfield Halls, Croydon, UK, October 17, 1969.

Fripp is absolutely marvelous on this record, and his harmonizations and arpeggios are flawlessly executed, as well as the occasional shreds. Greg Lake's vocals here are awfully forced and there's hardly any modulation in his voice, often just shouting. Giles is Giles as always, a very underrated drummer, although this album is probably not the best way to be introduced to his talents; studio albums will do much better. Ian McDonald's flute sounds flowing as always, especially on "Travel Weary Capricorn": a very jazz-flavoured piece, in which he pulls out a "Ian Anderson".

This album has the worst bootleg quality you could find anywhere, but if you're not an audiophile or a sound quality freak, then this will present no problem. Proceed with caution though... this albums has as much flaws as virtues.

Track List :
01. 21st Century Schizoid Man - 6:21
02. Drop In - 5:41
03. I Talk to the Wind - 5:17

05. Travel Weary Capricorn - 11:06

Mc Donald and Giles - (1971) Mc Donald and Giles

After recording "In the Court of the Crimson King" as founding members of KING CRIMSON, Multi-instrumentalist Ian McDonald and drummer Michael Giles made a blunder of a career move and left the band, forming the no-so-cleverly titled MCDONALD AND GILES. Lack on originality aside, they managed to record one self-titled album of fine quality prog music. The style is a less bombastic take on the first two KING CRIMSON albums. Steve Winwood guested on the album. It's recommended to fans of early KING CRIMSON.

King Crimson - (1976) A Young Person's Guide To King Crimson

Young Person's guide to King Crimson

Young Person's guide to king crimson

This superb compilation probably took its title from one of Benjamin Britten’s works, ‘A Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra’. One of Robert Fripp’s little jokes, I guess. As a two-LP overview of King Crimson’s career until 1974 this set just couldn’t be bettered, but when it appeared many critics complained about the absence of “Schizoid Man”, which many considered to be KC’s signature tune. I don’t think A YOUNG PERSON’S GUIDE has ever appeared in the CD format. The packaging really only comes into its own when you can admire the original gatefold sleeve. The cover pictures are delightful; I like to think the little man on the mountaintop is actually playing a mellotron!

The extensive booklet showed us for the first time how thoughtfully Fripp would handle the “King Crimson inheritance”. Not only did he include a detailed family tree and a superb collection of black and white photographs, he also printed virtually all the reviews Crimson albums had received through the years (or at least the ones he got hold of), both positive AND negative. How many artists would dare to do that in a compilation of their best work? Fripp’s tactics certainly paid off: the reader commiserates with critics bemoaning the low quality of albums such as EARTHBOUND, and sniggers at idiots who, all of thirty-five years ago, failed to appreciate the splendour of LARKS’ TONGUES IN ASPIC.

(Fripp would later extend the YOUNG PERSON’S booklet, as well as its selection of tracks, for the first King Crimson CD box set, FRAME BY FRAME, which appeared in 1991.) (Prog Archives)

Steve Hackett - (1996) Genesis Revisited

An unashamed homage to prog days of yore, as Steve Hackett does 'Genesis Revisited'=, and takes the tribute acts head on. After all, nobody can do a better tribute to a person's music than that person themselves. Steve Hackett has one of the greatest pedigrees in prog rock, being a member of a band who are always destined to be one of the greatest bands ever, and as such could attract pretty much anyone to play in his band- the names here are enough to make any prog fan drool- John Wetton, Chester Thompson, Tony Levin, Bill Bruford et al. However, for some songs, he's hired world class singers like Paul Carrack and Colin Blunstone to sing slightly neglected Genesis tunes, and also has written new tracks in the spirit of Genesis. But how is this album, which has an undeniably brilliant pedigree? Well, it's hard for anyone who calls themselves a Hackett or Genesis fan not to enjoy this album, as it's mostly top notch stuff here. 'Watcher Of The Skies' gets a very good reworking, with the superb mellotron introduction played marvellously by Julian Colbeck, and a great vocal from the legendary John Wetton. Chester Thompson's drumming is typically powerful and commanding, and this is a top notch version, yet doesn't stray too far from the original, but that's a good thing, in truth. 'Dance On A Volcano' is quite different though, and I don't particularly like Hackett's voice here, which is that awful 'growling' effect he uses rather too much on his stuff. Other than that, it's done well enough. 'Firth Of Fifth' starts out wonderfully, with the majestic introduction initially played by Tony Banks on piano handled by a full orchestra, and the excellence is upheld by the great John Wetton's vocal track. However, I'm not sure about the experimental bit in the middle, which although is a new addition to the song, seems to be tacked on just to have something new in the mix, and rather than add anything to the music, actually detracts. Although, Steve Hackett's splendid guitar solo will make up for anything. 'For Absent Friends' is the one song here that actually improves on the original- it's simply gorgeous, as Colin Blunstone of The Zombies takes a rather slight song, and with the help of the orchestra, turns it into pure class. Wonderful. However, 'Your Own Special Way' confirms something I always suspected, that it's a rather dull AOR tune, and Paul Carrack, while his delivery is first class, is used to playing this sort of bland, unchallenging MOR material. 'The Fountain Of Salmacis', one of my favourite Genesis songs ever (as you may have guessed) sees the unwelcome return of the 'growling' Hackett, which marrs an otherwise brilliant rendition of a classic, with Hackett's again flawless guitar solo. 'I Know What I Like' is given an odd, yet entertaining smooth jazz reworking, which seems to deliberately go against the grain. 'Los Endos' is given a great latin prog feel, with Hackett and Chester Thompson on great form. But what of the new songs? 'Valley Of The Kings's is by far the best, and could have fit on any of Hackett's solo albums, with its moody atmosphere. 'Deja Vu', apparently written at the time of 'Wind And Wuthering', is OK, but breaks no new ground. 'Waiting Room Only is however, horrid, and is just experimental blather of the worst kind. It's mystifying that this track got chose over 'Riding The Colossus', which was on the Japanese version, that's one of the greatest Hackett guitar showcases ever, and a fan favourite. However, he'd actually called this piece 'Depth Charge' previously, and can be found on the 'Horizons' DVD. All in all, I'd say it was worth about 3.5 stars- it's not essential, but is hugely entertaining, and is a very nice addition to a Genesis collection.
