Description:

One of the best albums of 80's Crimson, which has been reevaluated for its innovative sound that redefined the concept of progressive rock. The Steven Wilson mix and SHM-CD version are now available in the basic catalog at a more affordable price. The most powerful guitar duo, R. Fripp and A. Breaux, and the sensitive and daring rhythm section of Bluford and Levin, who make the most of their potential, weave together in a polyrhythmic adventure. This is geometric rock music of another dimension, clearly presenting where progressive rock is headed after passing through the New Wave. The challenge to uncharted territory led to the invention of a new rock sound. Included are many popular songs such as "Elephant Talk," which has become a Crimson classic, "Frame by Frame," "Sera Han Zingito," and "Wait Please. Along with "Palace" and "Red," this is one of Crimson's three sacred albums. The master is a 2011 Steven Wilson stereo mix, and the SHM-CD version is now available in a placket version at an affordable price.SHM-CD ■New commentary included ■Original 1981
