Our Take

King Crimson's "In The Court Of The Crimson King" gets the royal treatment in this Steven Wilson Mix, and boy does it pack a punch! Wilson, known for his work with Porcupine Tree and other prog legends, brings his signature touch to this classic album, breathing new life into these groundbreaking tracks.

From the iconic, haunting title track to the mind-bending "21st Century Schizoid Man," Wilson's mix adds layers of depth and clarity that make you feel like you're hearing these songs for the first time. The drums hit harder, the guitars soar higher, and the vocals cut through the mix like a knife.

But fear not, purists! Wilson stays true to the original vision of King Crimson, preserving the essence of these timeless tracks while adding his own special sauce. It's like putting a fresh coat of paint on a classic car - it may look shiny and new, but it still has that vintage charm that made it great in the first place.

So whether you're a die-hard King Crimson fan or just dipping your toes into the prog rock waters, this Steven Wilson Mix is a must-listen. It's like taking a time machine back to the golden age of rock music, but with a modern twist that will leave you spinning in the best way possible. Long live the King!

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.
