Our Take

King Crimson's "Beat" gets a fresh coat of paint with the Steven Wilson Mix, and let me tell you, it's like a psychedelic rollercoaster ride through outer space. The album's intricate layers and complex rhythms are brought to life in stunning clarity, with Wilson's touch adding a new level of depth to the band's already mind-bending sound.

From the funky grooves of "Neal and Jack and Me" to the prog-rock wizardry of "Sartori in Tangier," every track on this album is a journey in itself. Wilson's masterful mixing skills bring out nuances and subtleties that were perhaps lost in the original mix, making this reissue a must-listen for any King Crimson fan.

The band's signature blend of jazz, rock, and avant-garde influences is on full display here, with tracks like "Heartbeat" and "Requiem" showcasing their unparalleled musicianship and songwriting prowess. Listening to this album is like taking a trip through a sonic labyrinth, where each twist and turn reveals a new layer of complexity and depth.

Overall, King Crimson's "Beat" in the Steven Wilson Mix is a triumph of modern audio engineering, breathing new life into a classic album and solidifying its place in the pantheon of progressive rock masterpieces. So grab your headphones, buckle up, and prepare to be taken on a wild ride through the musical cosmos.

About the artist

King Crimson

King Crimson, the enigmatic British progressive rock band, is a veritable chameleon in the music industry. With a career spanning over five decades, the group has continuously pushed the boundaries of rock music, blending elements of jazz, classical, and avant-garde to create a sound that is uniquely their own. Led by the visionary Robert Fripp, King Crimson has seen a revolving door of talent over the years, with each iteration bringing its own distinct flavour to the band's sound. From the haunting melodies of "In the Court of the Crimson King" to the experimental sonics of "Larks' Tongues in Aspic," their discography is a testament to their commitment to innovation and evolution. But what truly sets King Crimson apart is their live performances. Renowned for their improvisational skills and fearless musical exploration, the band's shows are a sonic spectacle like no other. With intricate arrangements, complex time signatures, and mind-bending solos, King Crimson never fails to captivate audiences and leave them in a state of awe. Despite their cult following and critical acclaim, King Crimson remains a somewhat elusive figure in the music industry. With a mystique that is as captivating as their music, the band continues to defy categorisation and challenge the status quo. Love them or hate them, one thing is for certain – King Crimson will always be a force to be reckoned with in the world of progressive rock.
