Je nach Preis gekauft. Die Crimson-Alben wollt ich mir eh noch alle holen (besitze bisher nur "The Power to Believe", "Thrak" und "The ConstrucKtion of Light") und das ist jetzt wohl ein günstiger Zeitpunkt.

Würde ich auch sagen. Allerdings werden diese Editionen wohl nicht die günstigsten sein.

Und der Wilson hat wohl einen 50-Stunden Tag, was der alles macht...

[Vince]

Jip, das muss man sich mal reinziehen. Der veröffentlicht doch jedes Jahr mit seinen verschiedenen Bands locker 3-4 Alben, ist ständig irgendwo als Gastmusiker zu hören und produziert und mischt fremde Alben am Fließband ab. Der sollte bei Liquid Love Mitglied werden, der hat sicher keine Freunde.

Aber solange die Qualität nicht drunter leidet, solls ruhig so weitergehen, und bisher tut sie's nicht. In keinem der Bereiche.

[deBohli]

Ja zum Glück, gibt ja genügend Musiker die auch so viel raushauen aber das meiste unhörbar bleibt.

Wilson ist halt ein Gott ;)

[Vince]

Ja zum Glück, gibt ja genügend Musiker die auch so viel raushauen aber das meiste unhörbar bleibt.

Omar Rodriguez-Lopez zum Beispiel.

Das stimmt. Ich frage mich aber manchmal ob er gewisse CDs wirklich veröffentlichen wollte oder Label sie einfach rausgeknallt hat.

Vor allem weil die sich immer so gut verkaufen... ;) Ne, aber irgendwie scheint es wirklich so, dass er immer "kommerzieller" wird. Erst das eingängiste Mars-Volta-Album rausgehauen und im September folgt schon sein nächstes "Solo"-Album mit einer in Mexiko sehr angesagten Sängerin. Ich bin skeptisch... obwohl "Cryptomnesia" mit sein bestes war, neben den TMV-Sachen, und besser als "Bedlam in Goliath" imo.

Bei Amazon ist jetzt ein angebliches 5CD- und 1DVD-Set zum Court of the CK für lockerflockige 65 Ocken bestellbar: *tadaaaa*

Heftiger Preis.

[vstverstaerker]

die anderen preise sind aber recht akzeptabel:

Lizard 21,95

Red 18,95

In The Court... 21,95

vielleicht kauf ich mir auch eine... dabei wollte ich nicht mit dvd-audio anfangen 8-) naja zur not tuts die normale dvd-player variante falls ich meinen audio-player abstoße

Der Inhalt der grossen Deluxe-Box:

The Ultimate version of the classic debut!!!

'In the Court of the Crimson King' is one the most revered rock albums of all time. The classic album has been mixed for 5.1 Surround Sound from the original studio masters by Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree), with Crimson founder Robert Fripp acting as executive producer. Additionally Steven Wilson & Robert Fripp have collaborated to produce a completely new stereo mix drawn directly from the original multitrack tapes.

CD1 features 5 additional tracks drawn from the original recording sessions -- a complete version of "Moonchild" (edited on the new stereo mix) -- a flute/guitar duet of "I Talk to the Wind", an alternate mix of "I Talk to the Wind", the full Epitaph backing track & the session recording of the 'wind' noises used to introduce the album at the start of "21st Century Schizoid Man".

CD2 features the 2004 remaster of the original album drawn from the original master tape plus bonus tracks including the Morgan studios instrumental take of "21st Century Schizoid Man", 2 tracks from 1969 BBC John Peel sessions, ("21st Century Schizoid Man" & "I Talk to the Wind" -- the latter previously unreleased,) and de-clicked vinyl transfer of the original mono a+b side single edits of "In the Court of the Crimson King".

CD3 features a complete album's worth of unreleased/alternate takes & instrumental mixes by Steven Wilson + a de-clicked transfer of the original pink label Island pressing of the album.

CD4 features audio restored bootlegs of the band's legendary performances at Hyde Park, London in July 1969 & Fillmore East in November 1969 -- previously only issued via limited edition mail order or online.

CD5 is a bonus disc featuring a vinyl transfer of the ultra rare, US radio promo only, mono album + the equally rare US radio promo only single edit of "Court of the Crimson King".

DVD-A (compatible with all DVD players & DVD Rom players) features a 5.1 DTS Mix and High Resolution Stereo mixes (24bit/48khz).

DVD-A players can, additionally, access a 5.1 Lossless audio mix and Lossless Stereo mixes (24bit/96khz)

DVD-A also features High Resolution & Lossless stereo mixes of both the full original stereo and the new stereo album mixes

DVD-A features 10 additional tracks drawn from the original recording sessions, including a complete alternate version of the album using instrumental & vocal takes -- All previously unreleased in Lossless Audio & High Resolution stereo.

Features short performance footage of classic Hyde Park performance of "21st Century Schizoid Man" with original audio from the show.

Presented as a 12" x 12" box with a large format 24 page booklet with new sleeve notes by Robert Fripp & King Crimson biographer Sid Smith along with rare photos & archive material. The box will also contain badges a 12" print of the album sleeve & band photos. Limited to 7,500 units worldwide.

Recorded over a period of 10 days in August 1969 & released on October 10th of the same year 'In the Court of the Crimson King' stands as one of the defining albums of British rock music & one of the finest debut albums of all time. Described at the time as "an uncanny masterpiece" by Pete Townshend, the album has achieved legendary status over the years. It is the only studio document of an extraordinary year in the life of King Crimson; a year that began with the group's first rehearsals on January 13th, included a residency at the Marquee Club, a concert in Hyde Park with The Rolling Stones, the recording and release of the album and ended with the dissolution of the lineup at the close of Crimson's 1st American tour in December.

In the 40 years since its release 'In the Court of the Crimson King' has never been out of print or unavailable in any of the world's main music markets & continues to enjoy consistently high sales.

Now expanded with a completely new mix, previously unreleased tracks & a stunning 5.1 Surround Sound mix. Steven Wilson said of the mixing work "The intention is certainly not to try to replace or supersede the 1969 mix (which, like many classic albums, is what it is partly because of the limitations of the original recording circumstances), but to provide an alternate perspective to what must now be considered not only a rock masterpiece, but also the foundation stone of progressive rock."

King-Crimson-40th-Anniversary-Serie verspätet sich

In Zeiten, in denen es zum guten Ton gehört, angekündigte Veröffentlichungsdaten nicht einzuhalten, will DGM natürlich nicht zurückstehen, und so verschieben sich die Erscheinungstermine der 40th-Anniversary-Series-Ausgaben von King Crimsons "In The Court Of The Crimson King", "Lizard" und "Red" nicht nur, sondern sogar erneut. Hier die nun hoffentlich endgültigen Termine:

- In The Court Of The Crimson King (DVD-A & CD oder Deluxe 2CD oder Limited Edition Box Set): 27. Oktober
- Red (DVD-A & CD): 10. November
- Lizard (DVD-A & CD): 10. November

[vstverstaerker]

im hifi-forum haben sie schon einige bekommen. es scheint als wären jedoch nur sehr wenige verfügbar gewesen, daher gibt amazon lieferzeiten von mehreren wochen an. auf jeden fall sind sie jedoch bereits erschienen und ausgeliefert worden

http://www.hifi-forum.de/index.php?acti ... stID=20#20

[deBohli]

Hmm interessant. Vielleicht stimmt das mit der Verschiebung auch nur teilweise, oder es wurde wirklich schon ein Anteil versendet. Die Deluxe-Box aber kann man noch nirgends haben.

[deBohli]

Habe die Box ja diese Woche erhalten und bin überzeugt davon. Nette Verarbeitung und grosser Mehrwert.

Klar, die verschiedenen Mixe werde ich mir wohl nicht mehrmals als 1 anhören.. Aber das Booklet, die Photos und die LP grosse Box machens wett. Nur diese 2 Buttons passen nicht so ins Gesamtbild.

[Vince]

Schick schick. Hab die Box im Saturn gesehen, stand - zu Recht - bei den Schallplatten. Hatte nämlich Schallplattenformat. 65 Euro wars mir aber nicht wert.

Ja wenn ich das Teil nicht schon lange vorbestellt hätte, dann wäre es auch nicht in die Sammlung gelandet.
Die Grösse der Box ist wirklich edel, nur schade dass nicht noch eine LP vom Album darin Platz fand.

Im Oktober kommt Larks Tongue In Aspic - unter anderem als 15-Disc-Set!

Larks' Tongues In Aspic, from 1973, is widely regarded as one of the truly great King Crimson albums.

With its raw tone, inspired improvisations and hard hitting odd-metered rhythms, the album marked a radical departure for this most forward thinking of groups and was the first to include Bill Bruford and John Wetton as band members.

This new 40th anniversary box set is the ultimate edition of the classic album.

* Mixed for 5.1 Surround Sound from the original studio masters by Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree) & fully approved by Crimson founder Robert Fripp.

* CDs 1 - 9 feature 8 CDs of live material from audio restored bootlegs + a CD of live performance in a film studio.

* CDs 9 - 13 also feature 4 CDs of studio including a new stereo album mix, an album's worth of alt takes/mixes, the original 30th anniversary master + audio extras & an audio documentary CD drawn from the original session multi-tracks featuring the first take of every piece on the album.

* The dvd-a contains a 5.1 DTS Mix and High Resolution Stereo mixes (24bit/48khz).

Dvd-a players and some Blu-Ray players can additionally access a 5.1 Advanced Resolution (Lossless audio) mix.

The dvd-a features the original album mix, the new album mix, an album's worth of alternate mixes by Steven Wilson (in High Resolution stereo) and over 30 minutes of rare, previously unseen footage of the band - something of a holy grail for King Crimson fans & collectors.

* The Blu-Ray features full dvd-a content + many additional audio features in full lossless 24/96.

* Limited to initial orders with a once only maximum pressing run of 7,000 units worldwide

* 12" box with booklet (with copious sleeve notes and rare images), memorabilia, album print and concert download.

Pre-order now for 15th October release.

Für mich persönlich etwas zuviel des Guten (ganz allgemein gesprochen , nicht nur auf diesen Release von King Crimson gemünzt).
