Upcoming releases of interest

And the 6th of September?  It's Roger Waters' birthday...

The sixth of September?

If I'm still alive by then, I'll consider it.

That's a ridiculous wait.

It is a bit.
Perhaps he needs the money to produce them.
Probably it's to tie in with some live dates or something.
I preordered, though more out of habit than excitement.

I've just been reading an interview with Mel Collins, who is working with Jakko Jacszyk on a re-release of A Scarcity of Miracles with outtakes etc, AND new material involving those two, Tony Levin, Gavin Harrison, (possibly) Pat Mastelotto and Robert Fripp. Mel refers to this being King Crimson material and says KC is "not dead yet". Interesting...

Hmmm.  Well, ASoM is the only new material (most of) the last lineup put out (13 years ago!) so it's KC in all but name.  I can't see Fripp stepping back into the beast fully though...can you?

Mel doesn't mention live shows, just recordings - he avers that there will be 2 separate releases - the revised/expanded ASoC and the new (KC) material.

RF seems to be enjoying treading the boards with Toyah again this year, but another KC touring/live iteration?  As TLev, P@ and Mel will be busy with Stick Men, Tu-Ner and Dire Straits Legacy gigs respectively this year and next, I agree - I think not.

I guess Robert and Toyah are involved with the remastered/remixed Sunday All Over The World album due this year, and he with any remaining live releases from the 2014-21 era.

He was quoted last year as saying he made more money from touring with Toyah, together with their YouTube channel than with KC. So no, can't see that. (Wouldn't have thought he needs the money, but his back seems pretty shite so his future touring days are limited, it would seem)

Why do you say that?  Because he sits down, or some other reason?  He's been playing sitting down virtually all his career...
