To celebrate the 50th anniversary 2LP edition are being released this Autumn. Taking the music to new levels of clarity & power. 'Red' was one of the earliest mixes undertaken by Steven Wilson in 2009 & King Crimson was the first of a number of classic bands & artists to be mixed by Steven so it's entirely appropriate that he return, some 15 years later, to take the album into the Dolby Atmos era. Whilst mixing the album for Dolby Atmos, Steven also prepared new stereo & 5.1 mixes. Those new stereo mixes appear on LP1 of this 2LP set. LP2 consists of a complete album's worth of Elemental Mixes by long-time King Crimson producer (& band manager) David Singleton - using the original multi-track recordings to present a very different audio picture of the album, with greater separation of instruments & utilising many elements recorded for, but not included in, the original mixes. This LP features a unique insight into Bruford's percussion overdubs in place of 'Providence' & an extended intro to 'Starless'As King Crimson biographer Sid Smith puts it in his new notes for the album: "David Singleton's elemental mixes pull the veil aside on the original sessions and act as a kind of alternative account, a Red that could have been, revealing the different passes and takes that the band undertook as well as those of Collins, Charig and McDonald as they engaged with the material".

Obwohl bald mal 40 jahre alt, klingt diese musik immernoch wie next level shidd verglichen mit dem quark der heute dem geneigten hörer serviert wird, ihn noch mehr zu verdummen. big brother alleine reicht ja nicht, da muss man noch lady gaga kreieren...

Eine der beste und heavy CD dieser Band! Schwarz. Wer diese CD magt, muss unbedingt "The Power to believe" kaufen, sie ist noch besser und harder!

"Red" und "Starless" sind der Hammer! Aber das Rest ist auch ganz gut! Eine heavy metal und hard Rock Scheibe. Red, aber auch Black! Sehr Intensives Album. Eine der beste von King Crimson!

starless haut dich schlicht um, ein jahrhundert-song. ergreifend, bewegend, einmal gehört, geht dir der song nicht mehr aus dem sinne. red rockt dafür gewaltig, einfach unbeschreiblich. was fripp damals mit der gitarre anstellte sucht bis heute seinesgleichen. alles in allem ein meilenstein in der progressive-rock.geschichte
yes!
