Car Bomb: Meta.

For Christmas, all in 5.1 mixing.

King Crimson Trip? Sounds like a great christmas to me!

I've got TOAPP and COTCK.

I have all the King Crimson Albums from a previous remastered series. I've been a fan since my late teens.

Yes, I've got most of them on cd already, but I've wanted to buy them with the new mix by Steven Wilson, for a long while. Some of these records are really outstanding. Yes, great christmas present, I think.

Bonny, you should get Starless and Bible Black, Red, Larks tongue in Aspic and Discipline, imo.

The first three are my favourite pre Belew albums as well. Discipline is a good Belew era album, but Power To Believe is a monster.

I hope you realize I haven't been able to buy new albums for quite a while...

Hee, no, I didn't realize that, sorry. :shy: Bonny, I'd be really glad to send you Starless, Red and Thrak. Actually, this is what I'm gonna do as soon as I've received the new versions.

I really like Power to Believe, I'm impatiently waithing for its 40th anniversary release. I like In the Court and In the Wake, but my favourites are definitely Lakrs Tongues, Starless and Red. I like the Belew era stuff too, but the production sounds so dated and thin in comparison to the previous and the following stuff, imo.

Add this to the 5.1 stuff.

Damn, these 5.1 mixes are awesome! There's such better clarity, definition and spacialization, I can clearly hear stuff I'd never heard before. I'll probably get the Yes remixes in the future.

Good to hear!

The Comet Is Coming: Channel The Spirits .

The Blues and the Abstract Truth. That's a good one. I've had that for a while. I got it when I found out about the Stolen Moments connection. Have you got any of Eric Dolphy's albums?

So you've obviously listened to the track Straight Up and Down on Out to Lunch. Am I the only one that thinks that inspired the Memorial Barbecue?

Well, I guess we can establish links between the two but The Memorial barbecue has typical Zappa style traits. Dolphy's tune has a more classical jazz structure: theme/solos/theme, Zappa's track is more complex.
