King Crimson - Facts Of Life

Stormy Mundy Selection (Occasional Series - Acts of Random Archive Rummaging)

This audio documentary showcases King Crimson at work on Facts Of Life during the making of the last studio album, The Power To Believe. It’s great hearing the guys finding their way through the take. We hear Trey querying the time signature of the ending, problems hearing the click as well as producer Machine in-cans question to Pat, and Pat pointing out the perils of speeding up followed by Adrian’s brilliant rejoinder, “Just because we shouldn’t doesn’t mean we won’t.” Also enjoyable in this fly-on-the-wall-audio is the brief discussion about where the bridge might or might not be located, putting feeling into a take, the pitfalls of ‘dinosaur tromping’ and urging from one of the guitarists to “disassociate from our subjective view of our playing.” All this as well as an alternative, previously unheard guitar solo in the middle. Priceless stuff and a wonderful insight into the Crims at work.

"May I suggest we disassociate ourselves from our subjective views of our playing?" "You mean we don't suck?"

Such a privilege to be in the crucible (virtually, of course) while magic is being born.

[rnemchev]

I don't see anything wrong with Adrian's playing :-)

[robertkeddie]

I've always thought the verses were in alternating bars of 5/4 and 6/4, but listening to this I've no idea what the rest is. Don't pay any attention to me - I know nothing 😒
On second thoughts, please pay attention - feeble wittering is a major part of YouTube's business model 😉

Seriously this group could collectively fart and it would sound radical.
