King Crimson - Radical Action (To Unseat The Hold Of Monkey Mind) (2016) (2xDVD9 + 3CD)

Rock from United Kingdom, music DVD and 3 CDs box set released in 2016.

King Crimson are an English rock band formed in London in 1968. The band has undergone numerous
formations throughout its history of which 21 musicians have been
members; since 2016 it has consisted of Robert Fripp, Jakko Jakszyk,
Tony Levin, Mel Collins, Pat Mastelotto, Gavin Harrison and Jeremy
Stacey. Fripp is the only consistent member of the group, and is
considered the band's leader and driving force. The band has earned a
large cult following.

Developed from the unsuccessful trio Giles, Giles and Fripp, the band
was seminal in the progressive rock genre in its first five years with
its standard of instrumentation and complex song structures. King
Crimson's debut album, In the Court of the Crimson King (1969), remains
its most successful and influential, with its elements of jazz,
classical, and experimental music. Their success increased following an
opening act performance for The Rolling Stones at Hyde Park, London, in
1969. Following the less successful In the Wake of Poseidon (1970),
Lizard (1970), and Islands (1971), the group reached a new creative peak
with Larks' Tongues in Aspic (1973), Starless and Bible Black (1974),
and Red (1974). Fripp disbanded the group in 1974.

In 1981, King Crimson reformed with a change in musical direction which
lasted for three years, resulting in the trio of albums Discipline
1981), Beat (1982), and Three of a Perfect Pair (1984). Following a
decade-long hiatus, Fripp revived the group in 1994 and released Thrak
1995). Since 1997, several musicians have pursued aspects of the band's
work and approaches through a series of related bands collectively
referred to as ProjeKCts. In 2000, the band reunited once more and
released the construKction of light (2000). The band's most recent album
is The Power to Believe (2003). In 2009 the band undertook a tour to
celebrate their 40th Anniversary and continue to perform live in various
capacities. King Crimson has been influential to several other musical
artists.

It has been stated many times that King Crimson is not so much a band as it is “a way of doing things”.
Less frequently stated but equally true, is the fact that the band
inevitably seeks different ways of doing things. The current incarnation
of the band, 2014 – the present day, has already released two taster
sets in the form of 2015’s Live at the Orpheum mini-album and the vinyl
picture disc EP that accompanied the 2015 tours of Canada and Japan,
while the full raw concert performance from a single night in Toronto in
2015 was presented as a 2CD set earlier this year to great acclaim.

Now, with the release of Radical Action comes the most fully realised
audio and visual statement from this band to date, running to three
themed CDs and a Blu-Ray disc offering the filmed content along with an
audio only option in lossless high resolution stereo and surround sound.

The set includes at least one performance of every song/piece of music
played by King Crimson in 2015, some pieces originally composed in 1969
the year of the band’s inception, others composed/initially performed at
a variety of points since, some new to the tour, all arranged for this
specific line-up. Indeed it is characteristic of this King Crimson – in
direct contrast to all other post 1970s line-ups - to feature a broad
range of material from the 1969 - 1974 era, performed in such a manner
as to maintain much of what made the music so arresting when first
issued, while arranged for fresh interpretation by the seven piece
line-up of today. As Fripp put it (when asked what the title of the
album meant to him): “What I like about this band is, that what it is
actually doing is not what it appears to be doing...”. The idea of King
Crimson re-imagined, that the music as presented is new,irrespective of
when originally composed, is the key element in this band’s makeup.

The set will be released to coincide with King Crimson’s most extensive
European tour since 1974, with performances slated to include, for the
first time ever, material from all seven of King Crimson’s 1969 – 1974
iconic studio albums and with limited availability via mail order and
concert venues.

Audio: Three themed CDs of material recorded in 2015, each forming a separate discrete
performance with audio selected from a variety of shows and fully mixed
from multi-track tapes by Chris Porter, Robert Fripp and David
Singleton. As no audience is audible between tracks, this allows for a
“virtual studio album” effect. (The current King Crimson line-up was
deliberately conceived as a performing band rather than as a band
concerned with making full studio recordings).

Video: Among the problems most associated with filming live performance,
perhaps the key problems are those of the film-makers’ cameras
intruding on the audience’s capacity to enjoy the show without
interruption and the intrusion of the cameras on the band’s performance.
In effect, both performance and audience response must be
misrepresented to approximate a live show for later consumption. In
order to record the performances more accurately, a series of Japanese
concerts was captured via a number of discreet cameras in a “video
vérité” style – with neither band nor audience disturbed by filming – by
Trevor Wilkins who also edited and assembled the footage.

Audio/Video: Two DVD discs featuring the complete concert performances.
Blu-Ray features the concert film in high-resolution [24/48] stereo and
5.1 surround sound with additional ‘video off’ mode allowing for
high-resolution audio only playback in stereo and surround sound.

In essence the music can be experienced in a number of different ways –
as continuous uninterrupted audio on CD, as a viewable concert
performance in stereo or 5.1 surround on the DVDs and Blu-Ray, or in
high-resolution, lossless audio stereo or 5.1 surround without pictures
on the Blu-Ray.
