I really liked Poseidon a lot, especially The Devils Triangle.
Listening now to Lizard.

I love the Jon Anderson track!

I thought I heard his voice, good to know.

Onto this one now, but to mention Lizard, it was good.

George Strait: Honkytonkville (SACD 5.1)

Starless And Bible Black was highly enjoyable.
Now onto my final one for the night, good news is that all 7 have been ripped so will be easier, going to have to take another listen thru to get anchored in King Crimson.

Blimey Out of Stock Already!!!

Something niggling me about this surround release.
You know when you start to get your ear against each speaker to listen to what's going on.
I think its the lead vocals coming from everywhere.

Don't get me wrong, it is good, think I'm just being super critical over the sound and mix.

Now this one is a totally different experience to me listening devices.
Completely delightlful

Expensive yes....but had it on my wish list for some time and it just appeared last week brand new for a good price.

You are not alone Marpow
I have all of the King Crimson releases and I too find them heavy going at times.
Unfortunately they are a not a go to, for my first choice in listening.

The musicianship is really top notch
And the mixes are brilliant
Need to play them more I guess.

I realise that this is sacrilege to all you Crimson fans but better to be honest than sit on the fence.

You know when you like a record ..now on it's third play!!

Er...Where is the poll listing?

The Magic bit was referring to my aside and then boom, at virtually the same time, you post a Crimson album..

 

[svengaleekie]

Well, this afternoon I've listened to the new Katatonia - Night Is the New Day, Be-Bop Deluxe - Futurama, King Crimson - Poseidon, Islands & Larks' Tongues I have to say that the Crimson mix and sound knocks the other 2 into a cocked hat!

Love me some Sundown

Remember this? Sure seems like a long time since we got this jem... but it was only last year! If only every "expanded stereo mix" came with a bonus discrete "raw studio mix"...
