Oh well, seeing as no-one else could be bothered.
The money-grabbing minions of questionable parentage at DGM in their monthly email wrote:Releases from the Inner Knot/DGM march on, pardon the pun. From In The Wake Of Poseidon, to a classic t-shirt, to some CDs from newer artists, read on for details in this monthly update.
In The Wake Of Poseidon
Pre-order your copy of the second album from King Crimson now. Packaged in a jewel case, this release contains two extra tracks, namely the single of Cat Food and its B-Side, Groon.
King Crimson - In The Wake Of Poseidon
Jewel Cases Only
We continue to receive inquiries as to packaging of the King Crimson classics from In The Court through Thrak. These titles are now being packaged in jewel cases only. They will not be released in mini-LP or gatefold format. For titles that have not yet been remastered, such as Robert Fripp's Exposure, packaging details to be determined.
A Classic Tee
Due to popular demand, we have brought back the In The Court t-shirts with the previous design with album cover on the front and the moon face and hands on the back. Available in black only.
T-Shirt - In The Court Of The Crimson King
Club 29
Many of you questioned our last newsletter which listed the Brighton Dome as the next Club release, and you were correct! We were mistaken. Club 29 will actually be King Crimson, Live at Heidelberg, March 20, 1974. We will add this to the shop as a pre-order on March 31st.
Degrees of Separation Contest
You have until the 31st of March to submit your entries connecting Robert Fripp to Louis Armstrong in as few degrees as possible. Please refer to the inner knot news page located at the dgm website for details on contest rules.
Willie Oteri Album With Some Well Known Players
We're proud to announce SPIRAL OUT by Willie Oteri to the shop. It features some players whose names you may have heard!
Mike Keneally: Organ, Fender Rhodes; Tony Levin: Bass, Whistle; Pat Mastelotto: Drums; Ephram Zimolest Owens: Trumpet; Ronan Chris Murphy: Fender Rhodes; Willie Oteri: Guitar
Review by Bruce Stringer
Produced, recorded and mixed by Ronan Chris Murphy, "Spiral Out" is an extension of the improvisational outings that made acts like John McLaughlin's Mahavishnu Orchestra and Tony Williams Lifetime, King Crimson and even Frank Zappa the uniquely memorable experience that made musical history. Whatever is in Willie Oteri's water, I think it's high time that it was poured into the two dimensional cesspool which is what some of the homogenized and pasteurized modern music industry has become today. Gone are the walls of conformity and the limitations of clichéd musical formats. What this stripped down skeleton of raw musical talent leaves us is pure musical spontaneity. This is pure back brain music with a brilliant cast. Tony Levin crosses the sound waves with skin maestro Pat Mastelotto and keys man Mike Keneally, all the while allowing Willie's guitar madness to take off and to subtly lay a musical platform for the Miles-esque trumpet of Ephraim Owens. Production genius, Murphy, is also released onto the recording with some Rhodes piano playing proving that music can once again allow the 'spirit of adventure' breathe through it.
We did not have a chance to insert the link to this album, but you can easily find it by clicking on the "new to shop" link below.
Review Contest Winner
With his review of the 21st Century Guide to King Crimson, focusing on the interviews, Ulrich Spiegel has been chosen as winner for this month. He will receive a free Club CD of his choice, and will be able to choose three CDs to sell in his category for the month of March. The categories from the previous two winners are still available as well, including Louie's Choices: Neal Morse - Testimony / Jars Of Clay - Jars Of Clay / Beatles - Abbey Road.
This contest is designed to encourage more customers to submit reviews for products in the shop. We will choose a grand prize winner later this year from all monthly winners. Details to be announced at a later date.
