I wouldn't consider them to be a tribute band! How do you pay tribute
to yourself?


Well, it ain't Crimson without Fripp... I didn't mean it as a put-down, and
they were fantastic both last year and this, but it's not *actually* King
Crimson.


At the moment I think it's more like a strange sort of reunion tour,
but hopefully they'll start playing more new material!


Hopefully it'll have more character than the stuff they've played so far.
Not bad, but a bit faceless.
