Something like all the recent King Crimson releases of live 
material. 
Let's all hope it is of better quality then some of the KC stuff that's
been released. It sounds to me like Thomas Edison recorded some of their
shows.

Now THAT'S a nifty lo-fi pre-'tron throw-back idea - put 35 wax
cylinders on a constantly spinning shaft, and have the keyboard actuate
the setting of the needle onto the groove - and the needle snaps back to
the start of the groove every time you lift the key..hmmmmm..I guess
you'd need 35 horns, too...Can you imagine the sounds coming out of
something like that?!?
