Description:

The most underrated work in Crimson's history is now available again in a renewed format that reexamines its true value, with the SHM-CD intact and reissued in a plastic case for the first time! The 2000 album by Crimson, which was rebooted as a double duo after a double trio formation and a project activity with the goal of research and development for the next generation of Crimson, was re-recorded with a new drum part by Pat Mastelotto, who was not satisfied with the original sound when he created the new mix in 2019. This is the least properly heard of Crimson's original albums, but it is a must-hear album that includes three long tracks that can be called the culmination of the collaborative work of the guitar duo of Fripp & Brew. The title track, which can be called the fruit of the project activities, "Fractured," a sequel to the classic "Breakthrough," and "Sun and Fear Part 4," a masterful performance of over 14 minutes in four parts. This is a collection of numbers that should be called "King Crimson".The renewed version with the owl motif artwork, one of the most popular of PJ Crook's works revised at the time of renewal, has been priced down to a more affordable placket version in response to those who are curious about the renewed version but find the paper jacket rather expensive. The master is a renewed stereo mix released in 2019. ■SHM-CD ■New commentary included ■Original 2019
