The Other Discs

[Full Range]

Synergy - Audion  ( Larry Fast ) 

Have it on Vinyl 🤘

[JohnJ]

I know there are King Crimson fanatics here much moreso than myself.. but when you've got to listen... nothing else will do!

 

 

[JohnJ]

Then the other deal/steal I got, with the lineup changed a bit again... King Crimson was known for that!

 

 

 

Good stuff, different arrangements and versions are well done here.

Can’t go wrong with a little King Crimson in your life

& I'm sure that you know that is one powerful performance, kind of impressive/surprising without Bill B and Robert F.

Always makes me grin, when something´ s about Japan in the West, Hokusais "The Great Wave of the Coast of Kanagawa" is often quoted. I like his 36 Views of Mount Fuji.

[JohnJ]

Yea @AndreG. I've always loved those block prints, framed some from calendars and that's what I've passed for my artsy-fartsy flair for years now.

[AndreG.]

You can get actual woodblock reprints in Japan. Haven´t checked priecs for those lately, but i´ve thought about getting one or two for myself as well.

[JohnJ]

I'm not a total neanderthal, been in galleries before. It's my music that I'm particular about. I do have a first copy Rudyard Kipling from the late 1880s that is museum worthy! Sealed up with astringent packs for decades now. But for forty bucks for four frames then cutting up some old calendars that I saved for tax documentation for five or more years.. It's copasetic for me! 

[Full Range]

I have an art collection 

I like mostly impressionist works  

 

A rough number is just over 20 pieces 

I even have a Salvador Dali ( signed limited print ) 

[AndreG.]

John, i didn´t mean to lessen the pictures You framed in any way. If i made that impression, it was by accident! It was for Your interest only.

Relax bud, I did not take it like that!

I just pick and choose what I splurge on, that's all!

Cheapskate at heart!

Good guitar distortion manipulation on it!

Now spinning:

So now I have more Crimson than I ever did. Two of their first, Starless, Red, 80s Blue Yellow & Red, Thrak & USA. Then a couple Projekcts. Never had this or those post-group ones or Thrak or Beat prior.

The schizoidshop comes through again:

 

very hard to find the full disc online so here's the one where most of it came from.

[JohnJ]

Many, many times I've played that one. That guy was incredible with his musical imagination. From DSOTM to all of his Project's stuff.

IRobot was as trippy as if Pink Floyd had done it when it came out!

[AndreG.]

Until i completed my colleczion and read a bit about Parsons, i never realised how big he really is in the business, he had a lot of big names in his studios.
