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.

Track Listings:
1. 21st century schizoid man (7:20)
2. Epitaph (8:45)
3. In the court of the Crimson King (7:19)

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
04. Epitaph - 3:20
05. Travel Weary Capricorn - 11:06
06. Improv (including Nola and Etude no. 7) - 12:29
07. Mars - 8:29
08. Trees - 18:44


Line-up :
* Robert Fripp / guitar
* Greg Lake / bass guitar, vocals
* Ian McDonald / woodwinds, keyboards, mellotron, vocals
* Michael Giles / drums, percussion, vocals
* Peter Sinfield / illumination

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.

Studio Album, released in 1971

1. Suite in C including Turnham Green, Here I Am and others (11:15)
2. Flight Of The Ibis (3:11)
