King Crimson – Mister Stormy’s Monday Selection Vol. 11 (2023)
Review:
If there is one group that embodies progressive rock, it is King Crimson. Led by guitar/Mellotron virtuoso Robert Fripp, during its first five years of existence the band stretched both the language and structure of rock into realms of jazz and classical music, all the while avoiding pop and psychedelic sensibilities. The absence of mainstream compromises and the lack of an overt sense of humor ultimately doomed the group to nothing more than a large cult following, but it made their albums some of the most enduring and respectable of the prog rock era. Alex “Stormy” Mundy and DGM present the unearthed treats from the murky, cavernous archives in the Stormy Monday series, some of which have been newly created from the archive of multi-track reels of tape that we just happen to have lying around the place. Unearthed treats from the murky, cavernous archives, some of which have been newly created from the multi-track reels of tape that we just happen to have lying around the place, some from CDR’s and DAT tapes, and more recently from a multitude of hard drives! This is the eleventh volume of these wonderful gems, and this collection has some very fine pieces within it.—
