King Crimson's Discipline comes to mind, oddly

:)

Are the various recent remasterings any better than the 1990ish remasters (definitive?) I have of 'Discipline' and 'Beat'?

King Crimson- Elephant Talk. It was ok, definitely no Court of Crimson King or Starless though.

Never heard it...any good?

I found it on my hard drive, bought it from emusic a few years back, don't think I ever gave it a spin.

It seems good in parts, 'Speak to me/Breathe' is neat, has Malcolm McDowell doing the mad bloke voice.  :cool:

I'm listening to the rest of it now.

Has a lot of other musicians on in, including Gentle Giants' Gary Green, also Bill Bruford, Tony Kaye and Geoff Downes.

I'll report back.


edit:

The Rick Wakeman led version of the 'Great Gig In the Sky' is very different and rather good.
'Time' is a disappointment given who's on it.
'Money' is OK, a bit pedestrian, which is odd given it's got Bruford, Levin and Gary Green on it.

Equilibrium have done a pretty decent cover/medley of Jeremy Soule's main themes for Morrowind and Skyrim - if you're into symphonic metal:

If link doesn't work, search for "Himmelsrand" in Spotify. Only a short version exists on YouTube (and bad quality live clips).

Adrian Belew certainly has guitar credentials. I think he played on Zappa's "Sheik Yerbouti".

Yeah he's a pretty cool guy.

I have a couple of his solo albums, 'Twang Bar King' and I think 'Lone Rhino', some interesting wacky sounding track on them.
