Esta semana, Rebelión Sónica estará dedicado al concierto que efectuará el próximo martes 06 de mayo Beat, la banda de Adrian Belew, Tony Levin, Danny Carey y Steve Vai que interpreta el repertorio de principios de los 80 de King Crimson. Para celebrar el acontecimiento, tocaremos piezas de dos de los tres discos que la banda de Robert Fripp editó en aquellos años: “Discipline” de 1981 y “Three Of A Perfect Pair” de 1984. Cabe destacar que Beat cuenta con la aprobación de Fripp, quien incluso les sugirió el nombre con el que ahora están girando a nivel internacional. Durante el tour ‘Performing the Music of 80s King Crimson', el cuarteto estelar revivirá algunos de los temas incluidos en las placas "Discipline" (1981), "Beat" (1982) y "Three Of A Perfect Pair" (1984). El supergrupo hará una “reinterpretación creativa” -como los músicos han señalado- de las canciones de la etapa en la que Belew y Levin militaron en King Crimson, con la apertura del importante músico nacional Jorge Campos. Como es tradición, Rebelión Sónica se transmite por radio Rockaxis los jueves a las 10 y 22 horas, con la conducción de Héctor Aravena.
Introducing the Band:Your hosts Scot Bertram (@ScotBertram) and Jeff Blehar (@EsotericCD) are joined by Andrew Stuttaford. Andrew needs little introduction as the editor of NR's Capital Matters. Find him online right here at National Review or at @AStuttaford on Twitter/X.Andrew's Music Pick: Brian EnoHere he comes, the boy who tried to vanish to the future or the past. Yes, it's time for Political Beats to celebrate one of the most influential musicians in the history of modern recorded sound -- a man who, ironically enough, is at pains to characterize himself as a non-musician. Children of the Eighties and Nineties may primarily understand Brian Eno as the producer who took U2 to megastardom, but his work as a producer is properly only a footnote to his work as a songwriter and (most importantly of all) a conceptualist. Eno first achieved fame with Roxy Music as their "noise man," providing outrageous sounds alongside "treatments" -- electronic reprocessing -- of the rest of the group's instruments. But Roxy Music was ultimately pianist/vocalist Bryan Ferry's baby, and so Eno soon struck out on his own, for a solo career that would bring him into collaboration with some of the best and most innovative musicians of the Seventies as he put out a sequence of four "lyrical" albums which bent the definition of "popular music" well past its breaking point and into the avant-garde. At the same time, Eno was creating an entirely new genre of recorded sound: so-called "ambient" music, written and recorded in such a way as to (per his maxim) "reward your attention without demanding it."This, of course, is only the tip of the iceberg in a career that also includes brilliant songwriting collaborations with Robert Fripp, David Bowie, and Talking Heads among others. All of this and much more are discussed on a episode Political Beats has been waiting to do for eight years: Brian Eno played an enormous role in inventing the sonic world we still live in, and also made some of the most unexpectedly profound and beautiful music while doing so. We are lucky to be joined by NR's own Andrew Stuttaford for this episode, who lends particular credibility to the discussion as a fan from all the way back in 1972, during the Roxy years. Enjoy stepping into another (green) world.

In the early ‘80s, The Police guitarist Andy Summers and King Crimson mastermind Robert Fripp formed an unexpected partnership—blending avant-garde progressive rock with stadium-ready new wave. Despite their vastly different styles, the duo released I Advance Masked (1982) and Bewitched (1984), crafting intricate soundscapes that pushed musical boundaries. Surprisingly, Summers wasn't even a King Crimson fan when they first collaborated. In a recent Guitarist interview, he revealed that he and Fripp had a “cosmic connection” dating back to their teenage years in England. Their journey—from crossing paths in local music scenes to creating two groundbreaking albums—remains one of rock's most fascinating stories. Now, previously unheard recordings from their sessions have surfaced in Mother Hold the Candle Steady, part of the Complete Recordings reissue. Summers admits he was “knocked out” revisiting these lost tracks, questioning why they were left behind in the first place. In this video, we explore how this unique collaboration came to life, why it still resonates, and how their experimental approach influenced generations of guitarists. Plus, we dive into the latest discussions surrounding Fripp, King Crimson, and the ongoing legacy of progressive rock.

Here we are with musician, songwriter, and activist David Fagin who has spent his career challenging the industry. As frontman of The Rosenbergs, he pioneered artist-friendly deals and teamed up with Robert Fripp to fight for master ownership. He's testified on Capitol Hill, composed for major networks, and co-wrote Boston Strong, the Boston Marathon theme song.A former HuffPost columnist, he's never shied away from controversy, from taking on corporate exploitation to creating viral videos with millions of views. Leading The Counterfeiters and The Wankers, he mixes music, satire, and pranks—including fooling the internet with a fake Oasis reunion tour. We will get to hear about his unique experience and the advice he shares for artists.
This week we're discussing every album by King Crimson from 1969 to 1974. Led by the legendary (and partially insane) Robert Fripp, King Crimson is one of the pioneers of prog rock, as well as one of the wildest and most influential bands of all time. This era of the band chronicles some of the most memorable albums in all of prog rock. But be warned, this is not a band that welcomes everyone. The insanity is real.Closing track” One More Red Nightmare” from Red (1974)Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/everyalbumeverMerchhttps://pandermonkey.creator-spring.com/Mike's EP:Pander Monkey on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple,Mike on Instagram @pandermonkeyAlex on Bluesky @octatron3030Tom on Instagram @tomosmansoundsHistory Tom's stuff:Music on Spotify, ApplePodcast on Spotify, YouTubeSubstackWebsiteMike's Picks:In the Court of the Crimson King (1969) — Best AlbumRed (1974) — Personal FavoriteLarks' Tongues in Aspic (1973) — Worst Album, Least FavoriteAlex's Picks:Red (1974) — Best Album, Personal FavoriteIslands (1971) — Worst Album, Least FavoriteAlbums we discussed this episode…In the Court of the Crimson King (1969)In the Wake of Poseidon (1970)Lizard (1970)Islands (1971)Larks' Tongues in Aspic (1973)Starless and Bible Black (1974)Red (1974)
On this episode of Vinyl Verdict, Bell, Jamie and Adam listen to Adam's next pick, King Crimson's "Red". Released in 1974, it was their seventh studio album, and the last King Crimson album until the group was re-formed by bandleader Robert Fripp in 1981. The album has been cited as an important work in both progressive rock and heavy metal, influencing a multitude of other artists, such as Kurt Cobain. But what will the boys think of the album? Will they describe it as "One More Red Nightmare" or will it influence them as well? Come along and find out!

A well-placed song in a film holds the power to shape a viewer's emotions, heighten tension, set the tone, foreshadow events, provide insight into characters, or deepen the narrative. In essence, music is the heartbeat of the cinema that can elevate a film from good to sublime. Take it from someone who knows, like this week's Third Lad, Barry Andrews - he's had songs soundtracking pivotal moments in films such as Manhunter and Band of the Hand. Barry Andrews began his professional music career in the punk era lending his keyboard stylings to a little band that you may have heard of, XTC, giving them one of the most defining and distinctive features of their sound for their first two albums. After leaving XTC in 1979, he released a fine solo EP and single, formed the short lived Restaurant for Dogs, and played with Iggy Pop and Robert Fripp's League of Gentlemen before forming the band Shriekback with Gang of Four bassist Dave Allen and singer Carl Marsh in 1981. For the better part of the last 43 years, Barry has kept Shriekback alive through various incarnations, continuing to release music that's daring, experimental, and artful, as well as maintaining an ambitious and rewarding solo career.

Welcome to Why Music Matters, a podcast where we examine the power and influence that music can wield in our lives. I'm your host, Jeff Miers. Today, my guests are three musicians who seemed destined to end up playing together. Guitarist/vocalist Drew Azzinaro, bassist/vocalist Eamon Rayhn and drummer Ethan Fox all hail from Buffalo, NY, and they met in the music department at the State University of New York at Fredonia a decade back. It would take them a few years and a handful of varied musical ventures for them to finally come together as the FAR Trio. But when they did start playing together as a unit, to borrow a phrase from Robert Fripp, “Grace was present.” Performing what they describe as a blend of “earthy fusion and soul-drenched rock'n roll,” with a healthy dose of improvisation and a keen ear for adventurous song structures, the Far Trio quickly earned a reputation as a top tier live act. They've since released a pair of studio albums, and are currently at work on a third, in Woodstock, NY. In between, they've managed to perform more than 150 shows a year across the Northeast. During our chat, we touched on musical inspiration, the power of improvisation, and music's ability to elevate both the musician and the listener. Welcome to Why Music Matters, Drew, Eamon and Ethan - the FAR Trio.

On Episode 150 of the RETROZEST podcast, Curtis kicks off a celebration of the 45th Anniversary of the premiere of STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE! This film is a 1979 American science fiction drama directed by Robert Wise. It is based on and stars the cast of the 1966–1969 television series Star Trek created by Gene Roddenberry, who serves as producer. In the film, set in the 2270s, a mysterious and powerful alien cloud known as V'Ger approaches Earth, destroying everything in its path. Admiral James T. Kirk (William Shatner) assumes command of the recently refitted Starship Enterprise to lead it on a mission to determine V'Ger's origins and save the planet. Assisting Curtis in this endeavor in an exclusive interview is DAVID GAUTREAUX, the actor perhaps best known for work he never did – the role of Vulcan science officer Xon in the proposed Star Trek: Phase II television series. When the series was aborted, he was given the role of Commander Branch in Star Trek: The Motion Picture. David has also guest-starred in numerous television series including Man From Atlantis, Search for Tomorrow, One Life to Live, T. J. Hooker, L.A. Law, ER, Rules of Engagement, Boston Legal, and The Beast. He played recurring roles on Franklin & Bash, Damages, and the latest incarnation of S.W.A.T. In this interview, David discusses with Curtis about his career in and out of Star Trek, complete with several nuggets of minutia and obscurity which you'll only hear right here on RetroZest!

One of our rays of sunshine in the dark days of Lockdown was Toyah and Robert's Sunday Lunch, fizzing clips of the two of them in their Dorset kitchen, him playing off-brand rock and roll, her singing in extravagant finery, occasionally on an exercise bike. Their version of Metallica's Enter Sandman got 8.6m views alone. One time they were dressed as bees, another re-staging Swan Lake wearing tutus. This has now flowered into an all-the-trimmings Christmas show with a full rock band touring in December. They look back here at how it started and where it's ended up, which includes … … the teenage Fripp doing the twist at the Cellar Club, Poole. … Strictly judge Craig Revel Horwood's reaction when Robert booed him on set. … when the “elite newspapers” declared their kitchen shows were “genius”. … where their two different audiences meet. … plans for an upcoming Fripp memoir and his 1981 King Crimson diary. … things you find in old boxes in the attic. … how the grumpier end of King Crimson's supporters regard the “other Robert Fripp”. … what Tony Iommi and Robert Plant thought of their lockdown clips. … and what you can expect from their Christmas Party show – which involves Bowie, Blondie, Neil Young, Slade, Metallica and an inflatable penguin.

The writer, Jon Kremer, has lived in Bournemouth, a town on the south-coast of England, since he was a teenager, coinciding with the start of the 1960s. That famous decade of cultural change allowed him to experience many aspects of the UK music industry via both the ownership of his town's original vintage vinyl shop, Bus Stop Records, which opened during 1967's Summer of Love, and a long-standing friendship with ‘Year of the Cat' singer-songwriter, Al Stewart. A 60's music highlight was meeting the Beatles at the height of Britain's Beatlemania. The story of Jon and Al finding themselves in the backstage company of John Lennon moments after the Fabs had first performed “She Loves You” live for an audience, days before the record's release, became known as ‘The Men from Rickenbacker'. The tale of two teenagers pretending to be representatives of Rickenbacker guitars and needing to talk with the Beatles, eventually was retold many times in books, magazines, newspapers, tour programs, and on TV and radio. Jon's first book, Bournemouth A Go! Go! – A Sixties Memoir, visited the story in-depth, as it takes a look back at the Bournemouth music scene in the early 60's, featuring future members of The Police, King Crimson and Emerson, Lake, and Palmer - Andy Summers, Robert Fripp, and Greg Lake. A long-time fascination with the often obscure or overlooked key history-making moments that created and energized the story of pop and rock led to Jon writing the book, Chain Reaction, Rock ‘n Pop's Magic Moments. I've read Chain Reaction and can tell you it's a fascinating exploration of how artists influence one another as they build out their careers, especially so in the music industry.
Master of the bass and pioneering Stick man, Tony Levin regales us with tales from the court of King Crimson's Discipline era and more in this conversation recorded from the Beat tour (in which Levin and Adrian Belew play material from Crimson's early 1980's era in collaboration with qualified accomplices Danny Carey (Tool) on drums, and Steve Vai on guitar. But our main focus is Levin's new solo album, Bringing It Down To The Bass (Flatiron Recordings) in a far-reaching chat that gets into his entire illustrious career as a road dog and first-call session musician for the likes of Peter Gabriel, John Lennon, Paul Simon, Lou Reed, and more.

This is an extraordinary story on many levels – about the power and sanctuary of music, about what it took for bands to get noticed in the ‘70s, about how a teenager obsessed with King Crimson eventually joined the band and about the struggles of “a rabid Henry Cow fan trying to get on Top of the Pops”. Jakko Jakszyk is a fabulous storyteller, both in his memoir ‘Who's the Boy With The Lovely Hair?' and on this podcast with the two of us. Among the highlights … … two things musicians need to know. … why the divisive appeal of music and comedy is so similar. … life in a band where “Stravinsky meets the Barron Knights”. … “Who'll be the singing Jack Russell?” Doing voice-overs as a piece of toast and a baked potato with a Yorkshire accent. ... the quaint Englishness of Soft Machine, Caravan and King Crimson and why they were like “a holiday resort no-one knew about”. … why there are even more idiots in advertising than the music business. … the rigours of the Melody Maker Folk Rock Contest, aged 17, judged by Tommy Vance, Bob Harris and Brian May of Queen. … the militant wing of the Adrian Belew Fan Club. … Dave Robinson's sage advice after telling him he was “unfashionably heterosexual”. ... why Robert Fripp is more Miles Davis than Frank Zappa and the longest audition in history. …the complications of the King Crimson reunion caused by one person who shall remain nameless – “though let's call him Greg Lake”. … “two screaming lead guitars and a trumpet, what could possibly go wrong?” … and working with Pete Sinfield, Peter Hawkins, Sam Brown and Nigel Planer.

Send us a textDavid Bowie's “Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)” is, for many fans, his last great album. Mick regards it as one of Bowie's best, with the singles "Ashes to Ashes" and "Fashion". Mick and Jeff talk through what makes this album great, and look at the music environment as Bowie, along with many other 70's greats, faced the changes and challenges of the 80's.“Knockin' on Heaven's Door” offers a long line of new entrants to Rock'n'Roll Heaven including Herbie Flowers, Tito Jackson, Kris Kristofferson and Liam Payne from One Direction. Our Album You Must Listen to Before you Die, fresh from Robert Dimery's book, is Dexy's Midnight Runners' “Don't Stand Me Down”, a massive failure on release in 1985 but receiving a fresh critical re-evaluation in modern times. We didn't like it! Not least because of their complete rip-off of “Werewolves of London” by Warren Zevon.

We've developed our On First Listen series to give us a chance to explore albums that we didn't know but had heard about for years. Maybe a friend recommended it, perhaps it was popular at a time in our lives when it slipped past us or maybe we'd seen in on all-time lists. King Crimson's debut fit into the third category as many progressive rock fans hold In The Court Of The Crimson King in very high regard. And with many talented line-ups over the years including Greg Lake on bass & vocals, Ian McDonald on keys and many other things, and Robert Fripp on guitar on this album (with future versions featuring John Wetton, Boz Burrell, Bill Bruford, Tony Levin, Adrian Belew, Mel Collins and many, many more) we figured we'd give it a go. However, while the musicianship is off the charts and they experiment with many keys, times and toys (the new mellotron was driving much of their experimental sound), sometimes it's not terribly listenable. 21st Century Schitzoid Man is abrupt and in your face as a protest to the Vietnam War but isn't a toe tapper. The wistful I Listen To The Wind is 180 degree turn as a lovely ballad but is more than 6 minutes long. And Epitaph, Moonchild (nothing like the Iron Maiden song) and The Court Of The Crimson King though they have moments of beauty and style fail to land in the fun zone. While many will appreciate the music for it's complexity and degree of difficulty, it's not an album you put on in the background of a party. Perhaps our blues based rock brains aren't mature enough to understand but we find 70s era Yes and Genesis far easier to digest and enjoy. Note: We recorded this a year before releasing it as we planned for it to be our first On First Listen but scheduling necessities caused us to leave it on the shelf. We mention that it's 54th anniversary is coming up but as we release this it's the 55th anniversary of original release. And it was before we interviewed director Toby Amies about his fabulous documentary King Crimson: In The Court Of The Crimson King for episode 158.

Full Rig Info: https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/rig-rundown/adrian-belew-2024Visit Eastside Music Supply: https://eastsidemusicsupply.com/Adrian Belew is one of the most inventive guitarists of the past half-century—an incandescent player and songwriter who has a vast menagerie of tones and sounds at his command. You've heard him with King Crimson, Talking Heads, David Bowie, and Frank Zappa, among others, and with his pop band the Bears and on his solo recordings and tours.This fall, Adrian is following dates with the Talking Heads-fueled Remain in Light tour, which he co-led with Heads keyboardist and guitarist Jerry Harrison, with the BEAT Tour—a run drawing on his recordings with King Crimson in the '80s: the albums Discipline, Beat, and Three of a Perfect Pair. Of course, this is just a small—but extremely potent and influential—portion of his 30-year collaboration with Crimson founder Robert Fripp, who has given BEAT his blessing. But putting this repertoire in the hands of Belew, fellow Crimson alum and super-bassist Tony Levin, the incendiary Steve Vai (playing the guitar role of Fripp), and the Earth-shaking drummer Danny Carey from Tool promises magical performances. It's also one of the year's most-anticipated tours.As I write this, Belew, Levin, Vai, and Carey are rehearsing on the West Coast, and by the time this video posts, they will have played their first BEAT dates. So, word is likely to have spread that Belew has brought some crucial pieces of gear he played with '80s Crimson back into play. But here, you'll get a close up look and listen as Premier Guitar joins Adrian—with tech Blair White of Nashville's Eastside Music Supply—at his mid-Tennessee home for a pre-tour Rig Rundown.

Send us a Text Message.On this weeks episode, we discuss King Crimson's 1969 debut: In the Court of the Crimson King. Not only is In the Court of the Crimson King regarded as one of the greatest and most influential progressive rock (or prog rock) albums of all time, it is considered by many to be the album that defined the genre. Like all prog rock musicians, Robert Fripp, Greg Lake, Micheal Giles, and Ian McDonald all know their way around their instruments. But what makes King Crimson stand out from those they would influence, and what makes this album worthy of a listen, is that the band never lost the sight of what made a song a song; they weren't interested in excessive musicianship over musicality, and most of In the Court of the Crimson King is hauntingly beautiful. Based on the band's live performances, established artists such as Pete Townsend and Jimi Hendrix sung the band's praises before the album was ever released. Their performance in front of an estimated 500,00 people in Hyde Park on a bill with the Rolling Stones in July 1969 reinforced that King Crimson was a band to watch. When In the Court of the Crimson King was release later that year, songs like title track and "21st Century Schizoid Man" laid down the foundational building blocks for progressive rock for years to come, and cemented King Crimson as one of the most influential bands to come out of the 1960s.

VII En el programa 138 y el 140 hablé de famosos y experiencias paranormales, eran famosos en general, modelos, cantantes, actores, que han vivido fenómenos inexplicables. En esta ocasión, quería hablar solo de músicos. Y aunque a veces sus anécdotas las han vivido solos, no en pocas ocasiones, ha sido toda la banda… algo que puede dar qué pensar. Casas embrujadas, encuentros con fantasmas, avistamientos OVNIs, o mensajes de esperanza. Voy a contaros anécdotas de muchos músicos muy importantes, tal vez de la historia, como Elvis Presley, quien tuvo experiencias con su madre fallecida y con avistamientos, entre otras anécdotas. David Bowie, a quien canciones como, Space Oddity, Oh! You Pretty Things, Starman, Moonage Daydream, Station to Station, podríamos decir que han sido inspiradas en dichas experiencias. Durante la década de 1970, también se adentró en un mundo oscuro y misterioso: el del ocultismo y la magia negra. La canción “Quicksand” del álbum “Hunky Dory” menciona a Aleister Crowley, el famoso ocultista británico. Hablaré de Jimmy Hendrix y Robert Fripp de King Crimson, quienes grabaron en Château d’Hérouville, al parecer un lugar embrujado, ya que se dice que el músico Frederic Chopin, se veía con su amante George Sand. En la actualidad la compra Michel Magne y hace un estudio de grabación. También pasan por allí, Grateful Dead, Bill Wyman, el bajista de los Rolling Stones, Bee Gees, Pink Floyd, Cat Stevens, Iggy Pop, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep , Jethro Tull, Elton John, Richie Blackmore, T Rex, Sham 69 y Fleetwood Mac. También hablare de músicos de la talla de The Clash, Black Sabbath, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, Ozzy Osbourne, Radiohead, de su cantante, Thom Yorke, New Order, Robbie Williams o The Cure, The Police, Sting, Sammy Hagar, reconocido por su brillante carrera en Van Halen tras reemplazar a David Lee Roth, John Lennon, The Beatles, Ringo Starr, George Harrison y Paul McCartney.

Richard Norris is a man who believes in music, in its endless possibilities, in its catalytic effect on both the listeners and its creators. In his new book 'Strange things are happening' he reveals how his musical journey began in the silence of the countryside where he would listen for moles underground and the birdsong that filled in the air and how this attention to audio would snowball throughout his life as he adopted the DIY ethic of punk, made fanzines, formed bands, dug out psychedelic nuggets and found himself collaborating with an incredible list of artists & musicians. He co-wrote and produced seminal dance album 'Jack The Tab' (often cited as the UKs first Acid House record despite never having actually heard Acid House at the time). That started an affiliation with dance music that spawned worldwide success as one half of 'The Grid' and critical acclaim for his role in the psychedelic dance act 'Beyond the wizards sleeve'. As a producer and remixer he has worked an amazing list of artists including Joe Strummer, Sky Saxon, Genesis P'Orridge, David Ball, Erol Alkan and Robert Fripp. It's been an incredible life lived through music and we are delighted to welcome Richard to the podcast.
