Bill Bruford reading the newspaper was the cherry on top.

I think Jamie Muir was one of the voices as well.
Amazing. Here we can hear why Fripp regarded John Wetton as an exceptional bassist, even suggesting that "the only player with comparable authority was Jaco Pastorius." I believe Wetton's outstanding vocal talent might have overshadowed his prowess as a bassist... due to his prominent role as a vocalist in numerous bands and his singing career, many overlook his sheer brilliance as a bass player, especially during this time. Wetton remains my all-time favorite bassist. Thanks!
5:04 “…wonderful clatter of Jamie Muir there….” Priceless. 🤘🏼🎧🤟🏼
Excellent stuff, David. The bass in this sounds extraordinary.
Larks' Tongue In Aspic is an excellent master piece now it becomes extraordinary... I hope some day we can have Red sessions and outtakes Amazing job... Thank you
David this is very very cool. I am so interested in hearing these in more detail. This is one of the reasons I enjoy the multichannel surround mixes, being able to hear parts that are sometimes lost in the stereo mix! Count me in.
This video is excellent, informative and also rather exciting. I can't believe nobody thought of this before. Once again DGM lives up to its promise of finding new ways to get fans to part with their money. I like that.
The thought that this kind of sonic sculpture was done 50 years ago in full analog is mind boggling, in retrospective; what I always admired in KC music, especially in the older recordings, which shines beautifully in these elemental mixes, is the absolute economy and essentiality both in production and playing -- there is no sound that shouldn't be there, there's not one track too many. That in itself, for someone even remotely familiar with the craft (sometimes, the toil) of recording, mixing and mastering, is a work of art.
Looking forward to the 100th anniversary.🍺🍻🥃💯✌️👍
wouldn't it be fun if artists released these raw recordings to the general public to see who could comeup with their own final mixes to share on line.

I've always dreamed of that. I've spent my whole life listening to music and wishing I could hear everything. There's a magic to the combined effect of a good mix, but the maker in me wants to separate all the component parts to best appreciate what goes into that effect. Listening to the bits & pieces David separates here is exactly what I mean.
In the history of modern music, King Crimson represents one of the greatest expressions of talent, creativity and originality, so we could say the same thing for Genesis too, but the evolution of Crimsons (which perhaps is not yet complete) was so high in quality to leave behind them an incalculable void, no one like them.
Bass sounds freaking amazing. Almost tempted to buy this...
this sounds amazing
My favorite KC album. This got me excited for the new mix.
Elementary my dear Singleton! Very exciting.
A fascinating use of the various takes to embellish; in a way, improvising and fabricating a new window through which to view the thinking behind the original mixing.
talking drum is certainly the best song to be released under King Crimson
I just might have to buy this....
As if Lark’s Tongues wasn’t fascinating already ? 😂

Thank you
Great stuff. How about a second part featuring 'Easy Money' and 'Exiles'?
Wow! I never thought about all of the extra takes that were recorded in the process of creating the finished recording. Of, course, now with the availability of computers makes the cut and pasting of these easy to experiment with. One thing you didn't mention is what the musicians think about your reconstructing their performances into a new mix. Were they consulted?

awesome
I love all of the hard work and care that gets put into these re-issues and the new insights that are brought to light. (As someone who does re-issue / box set mixing on a regular basis, I know what it takes intimately). However, I just get exasperated with reissue producers being beholden by the sonic fidelity of the original source material. There are so many tools to bring out the subtle details. Must we have to suffer again and again the sound of Bruford's snare sounding like a cardboard box? Keep the balances - give me the fidelity

But it's also important to preserve what the instruments sounded like in the first place - Bruford's snare was just tuned that way. Probably had some sort of muffling on it too.
love it
nice

Nice!!!!!
How do you guys do it - offering a such an AMAZING sessions set for $50. I have continued faith in the KC world offering so much for a reasonable price (wish Apple Corps takes notes)
wow

Always disliked how wettons voice is kinda drowned out on this album, still fantastic though.
The only problem I have with this album is Exiles ...Wetton should have practiced just a little bit more in order to nail those higher notes...
