King Crimson "Starless-Live In Europe" Boxed Set 40Th Anniversary, 2016

Starless: Live in Europe also ups the ante by introducing something neither of the previous box sets had. In addition to the new stereo and surround sound mixes by Steven Wilson of the core album on which the box is predicated, Starless and Bible Black—already released in a two-disc edition in 2011—there are additional surround sound mixes of shows that were recorded in multi-track—specifically the Mainz, Pittsburgh (remixed by David Singleton)

King Crimson "Sailor's Tales" 1970-1972 Box Set 40Th Anniversary,2017

La inmensidad del material presentado en el Box Set "Sailor's Tales" abarca la era de la banda desde "In The Wake Of Poseidon", pasando por "Lizard", el "Islands", y terminando con el gran disco grabado en vivo llamado "Earthbound" de 1972.Es casi hasta lógico pensar que después de la tremenda formación que presenta una de las alineaciones más reconocibles de la banda, con Robert Fripp, John Wetton, Bill Bruford, Jamie Muir y David Cross, las alineaciones que anteceden al álbum "Larks' Tongues in Aspic" antes de 1973 hayan quedado eclipsadas por tremendisimos músicos y devastadores álbumes.

King Crimson ‎·"The Power To Believe" 40th Anniversary CD,DVDA 2019

The Power To Believe, originally issued in 2003 is King Crimson’s final studio album, to date. Drawing in part on material issued on the 2001 live mini-album Level 5 and the 2002 studio mini-album Happy With What You Have To Be Happy With, the album represented the final statement from the double duo which had recorded and toured from 2000.

King Crimson " Larks' Tongues In Aspic" - Boxed Set 40Th Anniversary, 2012

The idea of a 15-disc box set to commemorate the release of what was, in 1973, a single vinyl LP clocking in at a mere 46 minutes might seem a tad excessive, but when you're talking King Crimson and the seminal Larks' Tongues in Aspic, it's a whole other story. Beyond being an important addition to the legendary progressive rock group's 40th Anniversary Series of new stereo and surround sound mixes from Crimson cofounder/guitarist Robert Fripp and guitarist/keyboardist/singer Steven Wilson-a bandleader in his own right, first with Porcupine Tree and, more recently, with solo projects including the recently released Get All You Deserve (Kscope, 2012)-Larks' Tongues in Aspi

King Crimson ‎ "Earthbound" 40th Anniversary DVD, DVD-Video, Multichannel, NTSC, Compilation, Stereo, Quadraphonic 2017

Midwestern Record says:A strange entry in the Crimson log, the live album that would not go away where prog met heavy metal and sounded like it was blowing out the sound board, this is a photograph of a band that had broken up and hated each other but were determined to stick it out through their contract. Culled from 1972 dates but originally released later, this is an under recorded version of Crimson still dependant on the early days giving time and tide a run for it's money. Odd ducks and strange dogs are what legends are made from as they grow legs of their own and go on their merry ways. This set also includes a DVD in case you really want to feel like you are there.

King Crimson "‎Three Of A Perfect Pair" 40th Anniversary DVD, DVD-Audio, DVD-Video, Multichannel, NTSC, Album 2016

Robert Fripp saw King Crimson’s final album of the 80s, Three of a Perfect Pair, as representing the accessible and excessive aspects of the group’s personalities.Accordingly there are huge contrasts and shifts in tone encountered along the way;the dizzying MC Escher-like interlocking patterns of the title track;Nuages’ enigmatic electronic textures;stomp-along, air-punching choruses of Man With An Open Heart and the hard-edged sonic tone poems of Industry and No Warning.

King Crimson "The Road To Red" Box Set 40Th Anniversary, 2014

Commenting on the final live date on The Road To Red, Robert Fripp notes this was the first gig gig “since the 1969 Crimson where the bottom of my spine registered ‘out of this world’ to the same degree.”Between April and July 1974 King Crimson embarked on a tour of Canada and America which has come to be recognised as one of the most powerful series of concerts performed not just by Fripp, Cross, Wetton and Bruford but by any band of the era.

King Crimson "BEAT" 40th Anniversary DVD, DVD-Audio, DVD-Video, Multichannel, NTSC, Album 2016

Beat was released in June 1982 just eight months after the 1980s Crimson line-up’s debut recording Discipline. It marked the first occasion where a King Crimson line-up had remained intact for a two album stretch and was also the first album by the band to employ a separate producer – Rhett Davies. The juxtaposition of lyrics heavily influenced by 50s beat luminaries Jack Kerouac and Neal Cassady, the complex polyrhythmic musical textures of the 1980s Crimson, the strength of the songs and the cohesion of the studio performances, all helped the album chart upon release in the US and the UK.

King Crimson ‎ "USA" 40th Anniversary CD, Album, Reissue,DVD, Compilation, Stereo, NTSC 2013

King’s Crimson’s 1975 live album, USA, presented a band in legacy form, no longer active. By the time USA appeared as a chronicle of King Crimson’s 1974 US summer concert tour, guitarist Robert Fripp had dissolved Crimson, and would not resurrect his group (with different membership) until the start of the 1980s. USA followed on the heels of Red, King Crimson’s final 1970s studio effort, which had pared Crimson to a core trio. When released, USA was barely noticed in America and even less so in England, King Crimson’s home turf. Over ensuing decades, fans and recent musicians who were influenced by the 1970s King Crimson, eventually gave USA higher marks, and the record is now esteemed by some as one of the defining statements of mid-‘70s progressive rock.

King Crimson "Red" 40th Anniversary DVD, DVD-Audio, DVD-Video, Multichannel, NTSC, Stereo, Mono 2009

With numerous "definitive" editions already out, what can one more kick at the can of progressive rock progenitor King Crimson's discography offer? Plenty. With the entire Crimson catalog being remixed, remastered, and offered as CD/DVD-A sets that include stereo and 5.1 surround remixes in MLP Lossless, PCM Stereo, and DTS 5.1 formats, based on the first two 40th Anniversary Series releases—1975's Red and 1969's seminal In the Court of the Crimson King—they've simply never sounded this good. With added audio and video bonuses, it's safe to say that, even for the most cynical fan, these will truly be the definitive and essential editions

King Crimson "The Road To Red" Box Set 40Th Anniversary, 2014

King Crimson "Islands" 40th Anniversary DVD, DVD-Audio, DVD-Video,Multichannel,Stereo 2010

Recorded between the band’s numerous live dates, Islands continues King Crimson’s penchant for mixing contrasting styles and dynamics; from the gothic melodrama of The Letters, the warm laid-back musings of Formentera Lady, the stately chamber orchestra setting of Song Of The Gulls, through to the raucously skewed blues of Ladies Of The Road and the yearning, poignant title track.

King Crimson "In The Wake Of Poseidon" 40th Anniversary-DVD,DVD-Audio,DVD-Video,Multichannel,NTSC, Album Stereo 2010

Considered a poor cousin to In the Court of the Crimson King (DGM Live, 1969), 1970's In the Wake of Poseidon may possess superficial similarities to its groundbreaking predecessor, but as a 2005 All About Jazz review of an earlier edition suggested, ..."Poseidon also hints of changes in the wind." Part of the second round of 40th Anniversary Series CD/DVDA remasters/expansions of the King Crimson catalog along with 1971's Islands, Poseidon deserves reconsideration for its transitional music, Porcupine Tree founder Steven Wilson's remarkable remixes, and 50 minutes of bonus material which sheds light on the recording process.

King Crimson "Lizard" 40th Anniversary (CD, Album, RM + CD, Album, Mono, RM) 2009

Representing something of a shift in direction from the first two King Crimson releases, with an all-new line-up, Lizard captures the emergence of Robert Fripp as the sole composer for the group. Boasting an impressive cast of guest players, the third studio album presents a distinctive and ambitious distillation of rock, jazz and quasi-classical music settings wherein scorching guitar, squalling brass and apocalyptic mellotron are marshaled to dramatic effect.

King Crimson "Discipline" 40Th Anniversary 2011

When Robert Fripp declared in 1974 that King Crimson had "ceased to exist" nobody could have foreseen that they would break their silence seven years later with an album that perhaps had more in common with the then current post-punk new wave than the band’s progressive rock past.Released in 1981, Discipline was a startling reinvention with a new line-up performing radically different material that managed to delight fans, confound critics & pick up a substantial new audience along the way.

King Crimson ‎ "In The Court Of The Crimson King" 40th Anniversary (5cd´s + dvd) 2009

It was, quite simply, a sound that shook the music world. When King Crimson emerged from the dust of the considerably more oblique and largely absurd trio of Giles, Giles and Fripp—whose one release, The Cheerful Insanity of Giles, Giles and Fripp (Deram, 1968), was aptly titled—nobody could have anticipated that this group would literally change the face of the pop world, and almost single-handedly define a new musical genre: progressive rock. Crimson co-founder/guitarist Robert Fripp has, with a number of subsequent incarnations of Crimson, only partly been successful in distancing his flagship group from that stylistic marker, but in many ways it matters not. As labels become increasingly meaningless, revisiting this seminal album reveals far more than any reductionist categorization can.
