King Crimson - Robert Fripp Announces Return Of The Band
An astonishing surprise in the music world today as Robert Fripp has announced on his online diary that the legendary prog band King Crimson are back in motion. On September 6th 2013, Fripp confirmed King Crimson's newest iteration, stating that "this is a very different reformation to what has gone before: seven players, four English and three American, with three drummers. The Seven-Headed Beast of Crim is in Go! mode". Now revealed, the 8th incarnation of King Crimson will be Gavin Harrison, Bill Rieflin, Tony Levin, Pat Mastelotto, Mel Collins, Jakko Jakszyk and Robert Fripp.
Fripp notes: "The Point Of Crim-Seeing was of a conventional Back Line - Gavin Harrison, Bill Rieflin, Tony Levin and Pat Matstelotto - reconfigured as the Front Line, with Mel Collins, Jakko Jakszyk and myself as Back Line."
Robert goes on: "All the Crims have expressed great excitement at the return to Go! mode. Given the considerable commitments of all members, it will take a year before Crimson is able to perform."
Robert Fripp expects that they'll be rehearsing, in full and small group formations over that period.
The King is back.

Last regular album by King Crimson was amazing, so I'm hoping for a new one

Written by Unhealer on 25.09.2013 at 15:47 Maybe he found a label that would support his vision more readily (like Kscope or something). I don't know how to feel about it either, but hopefully it leads to a great album.

Maybe they will not make an album and just tour. We'll have to wait and see.
