Cring Kimson: Nashville Rehearsals 1997 (Soundboard) FLAC*

Nashville Rehearsals, 1997
Notes
Culled from the many hours of rehearsals during the Double Trio’s time in Nashville’s SIR studio in May 1997, Pat Mastelotto finally produced two CDR’s worth of material for consideration of the Tone Probe team. It hadn’t been an easy task. Not only had there been to music to whittle down, Pat was dogged by equipment trouble. “I am out of time and need to move on” said an exasperated Mastelotto in his covering note to the team in the UK.

The frustrations of preparing what became KCCC13 (released in 2000) were perhaps a reflection of the tensions that emerged during the sessions themselves and which would become the epitaph of the Double Trio enterprise. Following these costly and ultimately unproductive dates, the whole FraKctalisation of King Cri mson began in November with the recording of Space Groove by ProjeKct Two (Gunn, Belew and Fripp) and then in December 1997, ProjeKct One – Gunn, Fri pp, Levin and making his last appearance under the Crimson banner, Bill Bruford.

Part of the fun with a release like this is spotting for the themes and motifs that would later crop up in the fraKctals and Double Duo line-ups. For example, Ragin’ Drones would eventually be integrated into Frying Pan, Seizure would occupy many improvisations by P3 and P3 as well as the springboard for several excursions by the Double Duo on the Heavy ConstruKction tour, whilst the snaking theme Robert plays in “Too Many Eee’s” had to wait until Level Five until it found its proper home.

Please note that this album was first released as KCCC13 though has been out of print for some time. It has been out of print for some time and there are no plans to reissue it on CD.
