Anyway SW has already won a few Grammy's for his surround versions of Porcupine Tree albums. The catalog is in good hands.<BR/><BR/>I've been listening to Insurgentes this week. Amazing album, amazing production. Track 5 takes the current Crimson Rhythm section and seems to throw down a bit of a challenge to Fripp, a bit of "see what I can do with these guys Bob?" Even the title, "no twilight in the hearts of the sun", screams KC.<BR/><BR/>I love Fripp's work on the Fear of a Blank Planet companion EP, "Nil Recurring", if you combine the full length Fear with the EP, it fills out 70 minutes nicely.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13866170199126950518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2199327163012873402.post-73348651489187602142009-03-21T19:33:00.000-04:002009-03-21T19:33:00.000-04:00I wonder what "alternatives" there are available a...I wonder what "alternatives" there are available and how they were done - guess I will do some researching ...<BR/>I went to the Fripp "diaries" and didn't see much, or else I did something wrong.<BR/>However, whenever I see "remixes" I think of rap, and a waste of my time, too, just added junk for money! Oh well, what do I know? I do know I've seen King Crimson with Buford, Belew and stickman, Tony Levin and it was pretty damn good! I was too young to see the original King Crimson but heard Greg Lake was with them for a short while. I have many of K/C's tapes, etc.<BR/>Gary<BR/>PS. (And I have heard Fripp is quite the perfectionist). LOL<BR/>PSS. oops, 'surround sound mixes' cool beans!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
