You've listened to the Travis & Fripp albums?

I've only heard this one but it was good:

On a huge Discipline kick currently.



This still sounds like rock music from another planet. Just incredible.

I saw them in 2003. It was an awesome show. At one point the bass player was playing two basses at the same time.

Man, that's weird - there must be something about January as I'm again listening to barely anything other than 80s King Crimson.

I was fortunate enough to see them open for Tool at Red Rocks in 2001... They truly are uniquely amazing both live and on album.

That was a pretty good interview. I am a bigger fan of King Crimson in theory than in real life. I will see them everytime they pass through town but it is not easy listening music. It takes concentration and awareness. So I don't listen to them as much as I probably should but am so glad that there are bands like them in the world. Excellent musicians, slowly widening our musical palettes.

Man, I wish King Crimson would pass through town; to date, they've never toured Australia. I'm still holding out hope.

So I haven't listened to prog in over a decade (mainly Pink Floyd and Rush back then) but I heard this in a bar yesterday and had to go ask the DJ what song it was because it was so awesome:



I have been listening to a lot of Esperanza Spalding, Snarky Puppy, Knower and Miles Davis' Dark Magus lately, and this definitely fits the "category".

Awesome!

As evidenced by this thread, I go through occasional phases of listening to not much other than 80s Crimson.

Bill added such a human touch to the band live. I saw them with Verizon's three drummer set up. Bill held the rhyth m section together, mean feat give one of the other drummers was Gavin Harrison.
