Our Take

KING CRIMSON's "Islands" gets a fresh makeover with the Steven Wilson Mix and boy does it sound like a delightful whirlwind of prog goodness. Wilson, known for his work with Porcupine Tree, has brought his magic touch to this classic album and the result is nothing short of spectacular.

From the haunting vocals to the intricate guitar work, every element of "Islands" shines through in this new mix. Wilson has managed to breathe new life into these tracks, giving them a modern edge without losing any of the original charm.

Tracks like "Formentera Lady" and "Sailor's Tale" sound as vibrant and dynamic as ever, with Wilson's mix bringing out the subtle nuances and hidden depths of these songs. The production is crisp and clean, allowing each instrument to shine through with clarity and precision.

Fans of KING CRIMSON will no doubt appreciate the care and attention to detail that Wilson has put into this mix. It's a loving tribute to a classic album that doesn't just recreate the past, but reimagines it for a new generation of listeners.

So, if you're looking for a trip down memory lane with a modern twist, look no further than KING CRIMSON's "Islands" (Steven Wilson Mix). It's a sonic journey you won't want to miss.

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.
