Both hardly seem relevant anymore, with little to say. They have that in  
common.

It has to be better than the musical tedium of REM which has somehow  
hoodwinked the world.  What I have heard is NOT KC but musical  nonetheless.

Hi  Bruce, 
As a huge  KC fan since the early days I couldn’t agree more with your 
review.   It is spot on.  I hope the rest of the album  
is better  than this.  It seems to be without direction and uninspired.   
Very strange mix as well.

Hi-
 
Opinion.  The sample video of "A Scarcity of Miracles"  (noted that it was 
an "edit") gave me the initial impression  of un-Crimson-like production 
smoothness.  Okay, it is a  King Crimson "Projekct", so it kind of removes 
itself from  KC.  Nice variable ambience.  The music dosen't fly  anywhere 
unique.  Fripp's guitar is buried.  No  excuse for the sax sounding too much like 
Kenny G.  So,  it is hard to listen to it twice.  There it is, no  
apologies.
 

 
-Bruce D.

Has anybody on this list received  an advance copy of the new album ?  What 
are your  thoughts and / or opinions  ?

Thanks,

Robert
