speaking of Tony Levin... i saw him once again at the Peter Gabriel concert, i'd say he's one of the most prominent bassist who got such a dramatic stage presence! his build, height, and baldness score no doubt, and especially the way he carries himself, i totally dig his poisture and his panache playing his bass (or the chapman stick) on stage! love those devilish fingers props ;-) .: yonnie --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Couple things here...It would really be nice to hear Tony Levin do some more experimental (or at least left-field) work. He's got such a great sound and technique. I went to the Gabriel show a couple weeks ago and was very impressed. I would have like to hear more from the first three albums (what I refer to as "the Jerry Marotta years"), but I also understand that most people were not there to hear that stuff and all of that was 20 years ago anyway. That said, I really like "UP" and was surprised by how electronic it is. Oh, and something that's been lingering as I've watched people recommend particular King Crimson albums: There are a few compilations that do varied jobs of providing an overview of the various KC periods. Some people like old stuff, some like new, you know. "The Concise King Crimson" is a good place to start, or if you are confident you can go for the 4CD "Frame By Frame". For those merely tracing the genealogy of Foreigner, "Young Person's Guide To King Crimson" is a single disc compilation focusing on their earlier albums (with some pre-KC Fripp tracks, to boot). With such variety and age, it just seems a bit of a shot-in-the-dark to try and recommend particular albums to a newbie when for the price of a few (or one) of those they could get a taste of each period. For the album-recommendation camp, though, I'd just say "Discipline" and "Lark's Tongues In Aspic" to cover the major periods.

Prog rock has always been tres cool, true, but for me, it was a listening period that eventually led to fusion (and later bebop). Fripp and Co. prepared me for flks like David Sancious, Herbie Hancock, Mahavishnu, Return to Forever, and Weather Report. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
