Greetings Guys and Gals...
 
Here's something for you Crimson fans:
 
http://www.frakctured.ukf.net
 
... On the "Music Notation" page... you will find sheetmusic for the first 5 Crimson albums... most hand-written... possiblyby Fripp himself. I remember that this was posted at Elephant Talk afew years ago... and promptly disappeared a few days later... so checkit out NOW, while you can! Also on the same page is Crimson sheet musictranscribed by someone else... including a transcription of "Starless".The sheet music is fairly complete... considering the fact that Crimsondid so much improvisation in their songs... enjoy!
 
As for the 35 note question I posted a few days ago...thanks for the comments... I still believe that with the new 'Tronscoming out... both analog and digital... increasing the keyboard to afull three octaves, is an improvement I'd love to see. I know... themaster tapes only cover 35 notes... but I for one wouldn't mind if thebottom "G" sounds were "stretched" to cover "F#" and "F" below thebottom "G"... if we could get a full 3 octave keyboard out of it.
 
That's it... Thanks again...
