La nuova ristampa di “Larks Tongues
In Aspic” contiene nuovi remix di Steven Wilson del 2023 e uscirà a ottobre
I King Crimson hanno annunciato che pubblicheranno una nuova edizione di “Larks Tongues In Aspic” per celebrare il 50° anniversario del loro quinto album in studio, rilasciato in origine nel 1973; la pubblicazione avverrà attraverso Panegyric Records il 13 ottobre.
La nuova ristampa arriva in un set di due Blu-ray e due CD, e in edizione in vinile a due LP. Il set Blu-ray e CD contiene nuovissimi mix 2023 in Dolby Atmos, DTS-HD MA 5.1 Surround Sound e Hi-Res Stereo di Steven Wilson, nuovi Elemental Mixes di David Singleton, le registrazioni complete di ogni sessione registrata per l'album (tutto questo materiale è stato mixato dalle esibizioni originali ed è presentato su disco per la prima volta in Hi-Res 24/96 stereo), Mix stereo Hi-Res dei master stereo originali e del documentario audio di David Singleton sulla registrazione dell'album “Keep That One, Nick” precedentemente incluso nel cofanetto del 2012. Queste sono le uniche inclusioni ad essere state emesse in precedenza.
I CD includono il mix stereo del 2023 e strumentali dell'album e i mix e le bobine master selezionate. La nuova ristampa si presenta come un'edizione con copertina apribile 2 x contenente i singoli dischi più libretto con note di copertina del biografo dei King Crimson e scrittore Prog Sid Smith, confezionato in un cofanetto rigido.
IMMAGINI DI REPERTORIO
L'edizione vnyl contiene due LP da 200g con i nuovi mix di Steven Wilson e David Singleton.
“Larks Tongues In Aspic” presentava una formazione incredibile dei King Crimson che comprendeva Bill Bruford alla batteria, il compianto John Wetton al basso, il percussionista e batterista Jamie Muir e il violinista David Cross insieme al pilastro Fripp, che è stato spinto a dichiarare: "Questa band è più King Crimson di quanto non sia mai stata. Tutti gli ideali e le aspirazioni originali sono lì: amore rispetto e idee compatibili. È una band magica!"
Fu l'unico album dei King Crimson con Jamie Muir, e un anno dopo l'uscita dell'album - dopo altri due album, “Starless And Bible Black” e “Red” (entrambi pubblicati nel 1974) - Fripp sciolse la band.
