May 16 & 17 - Best of the KCCC - Volume 1

[Extended Play]

Since 1998, Discipline Global Mobile has been running a bi-monthly cd club of King Crimson archival material, the King Crimson Collector's Club. This week and next week, I will be collecting the best releases so far.

What started as a subscription only service is now open for sale as individual purchases. But beware, once you start, it will be very hard to stop.

I. Live at the Zoom Club (King Crimson) Oct. 13, 1972

This was the debut show of the Larks' band formation of King Crimson. Of the released shows with Jamie Muir, this has to be the best. If the improvs are close to heaven, Zoom must be heaven itself.[list=1][*]Larks' Tongues in Aspic (Part I) - 8:22[*]Book of Saturday - 3:16[*]Zoom - 22:03[*]Improv: Zoom Zoom - 44:48[*]Easy Money - 4:08[*]Improv: Fallen Angel - 4:12[*]Improv: Z'Zoom - 4:48[*]Exiles - 8:36[*]The Talking Drum - 6:13[*]Larks' Tongues in Aspic (Part II) - 8:37[/list=1]
II. Champaign-Urbana Sessions (King Crimson) Jan. 17-30, 1983

This is a collected recording from writing sessions betweem Beat and Three of a Perfect Pair. So, some of the material shows up later on Three of a Perfect Pair. Definitely an interresting listen.[list=1][*]San Francisco - 2:06 [*]Tony Bass Riff - 3:28 [*]Sequenced - 3:55 [*]Steinberger Melody - 4:59 [*]Fragmented - 4:01 [*]Not One of Those - 1:45 [*]Zzzz's - 2:10 [*]Reel 3 Jam - 2:34 [*]Robert and Bill - 2:08 [*]Say No - 2:46 [*]Robert's Ballad - 3:44 [*]Heat in the Jungle - 7:07 [*]Grace Jones - 5:45 [*]Adrian Looped - 1:19 [/list=1]
