Soni Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 QUOTE King Crimson ProjeKct, A Scarcity Of Miracles is the debut release from (Jakko) Jackszyk, (Robert) Fripp, and (Mel) Collins. Featuring a dream rhythm section comprising Gavin Harrison and Tony Levin, ASOM is a sonically rich and detailed collection of surprisingly accessible and heartfelt songs which boasts a seductive, widescreen production. Echoing elements of King Crimson's unique vocabulary, while presenting a unified group sound far removed from anything previously released under the KC name, A Scarcity Of Miracles manages to be both intimate and epic, complex yet immediate. Honouring a great band's legacy, whilst undoubtedly taking it somewhere new, ASOM is the Crimson related album your wife and ballad loving friend might just fall in love with! 'One of my favourite albums of those where I am a determining element. It has the Crimson gene, but it is not quite KC.' - Robert Fripp The album comes as a standard cd, a heavyweight 200gm gatefold vinyl edition and in a deluxe cd / dvda version (which features a 5.1 mix, 24/96 stereo, the ASOM video, and an album's worth of alternate mixes and improvs from the original sessions). http://www.burningshed.com/covers/large2188.jpg Not quite the real KC but that's close enough to make me happy!

By the way who does all of their artwork? The dude must be making some good money! Glad Fripp can still play the guitar in his old age.

I'll check this one out. Very curious especially with the return of Mel Collins to the Crim fold. I can't believe you're going to pass on this one Earl.

ColdFireYYZ Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Even though I'm not a huge KC fan, I was looking forward to this just because of the lineup, but after listening to that sample I'm not sure if I will even bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
