King Crimson "Level Five" 2003

King Crimson "Level Five" 2001

This hand-numbered limited-edition five-song EP was available exclusively at the King Crimson merchandising booths during the six-week Level Five tour of North America in November and December 2001. The 45-minute mini-set captures the quartet -- Adrian Belew (guitar/vocals), Robert Fripp (guitar), Trey Gunn (Warr guitar), and Pat Mastelotto (percussion) -- thrashing out some of the most intense and rhythmically diverse sounds to ever bear the King Crimson moniker. Likewise, Level Five reveals a band reaching for and obtaining new levels of soul -- a quality sorely absent in the " alternative" rock of the early 21st century.
