Lyrics

For Elena.
Outskirts of Kyiv.
Status unknown.

And now the russophobic Boston Philarmonic Youth Orchestra performs Glinka's Ruslan and Ludmilla Ouverture
(I had the care to pass on Tchaikovsky's 1812 Ouverture... you see old Tchaikovsky's sexual tendencies are a bit off on his homeland these days)
The well known russophobic Americans teaching... Russian music to their youth...

And now, paraphrasing someone. Wagner tones...

Most recent addition to PGX Concert Hall.
A two part youtube doc on the place of Robert Fripp / King Crimson in the history of music.
Part 1 +-30m
Part 2 +-45m
Unmissable for "Progressive" fans.
Potentially interesting for music fans in general.
There isn't a single full track present.
Frequently some seconds long samples are used to "illustrate" points.
Includes excerpts from interviews, band members (summary) musical profiles, artist equipment lists, genre influence rosters.
Structured on album by album approach and covering also Robert Fripp's non KC career.
King Crimson went through various interregnums and Fripp was not musically idle on all of them.

What it is astonishing to me is that King Crimson is clearly less known than Genesis, Pink Floyd, Yes.
Sometimes even prog fans seem to overlook or ignore their existence...

I visited individual sections for the first time today and saw that you are putting a lot of time and effort into the Project.

Briefly about King Crimson: I am definitely not a prog fan. My interest was in the band in the early seventies and my musical knowledge never went beyond the 1969 release of their first album. After that, the band was dissolved for me, no longer existent. All the more I was surprised by your post here that there was also a life after "In The Court of the Crimson King" . Thank you.

In a recent e-mail exchange with Jeff Crouch I was writing what I listen of music these days is half classical, half the four main prog bands, half for the rest and I would like to have a fourth half...
The four main prog bands are Pink Floyd and Yes in a second tier, Genesis and King Crimson in a first tier.
Actually when there is no one hearing I call these four classical music.
Peter Gabriel's Genesis is pure opera.
It's music carefully tailored to the service of telling stories.
Later Genesis only departed completely from that after 1980..
(I've found and posted a Genesis doc from same fellow)
King Crimson is more instrumental classical, particularly after Sinfield's outing. Classical with jazz elements.
In later phases incorporating much more elements.
And the KC changes are not easy to digest.
It is only now, while I'm adding the more recent material to the repository, that I'm starting to form ideas about it.
Years back I had to break through a mental block on the 80's material.
At first impression it seems it's more product of the 1980 Great Musical Extinction Event. When it got just rythm.
But after all the melodic lines are there too. They just aren't clearly at the forefront anymore.
In part the rythm section is really stronger but there is probably some influence at sound engineering level.
Let's fetch something (almost) from the 00s:

King Crimson - Lark's Tongues In Aspic IV (1999)
(numbers I and II date from 1973, number III from 1984)
The aspic in this 1999 contains much more than just lark's tongues...

After many years of successive appearances of good old music in official youtube channels, finally, it is the hour for Jimi.
Even King Crimson had done it after the pandemic precipitated the announcement of the musical project's closure.
There is some material with the indication that they were posted 8 years ago.
But even as recently as last month I could only find the usual half dozen very low sound quality Jimi concerts.
Now they are by the ton, from the official channel; all the core studio albums, the posthumous ones, a plethora of lives.
Let's post one... with the longest Machine Gun I ever listened Jimi playing... live at the Isle of Wight

Jorn - The Rhythm of the Heat (Peter Gabriel cover)

Speaking of Peter Gabriel and still on Robert Fripp.
Fripp is the guitarist on the three first Peter Gabriel solo albums...
Probably would be on the fourth if not for one more King Crimson reforming that led to KC's three 80's albums...

not specially musical as said many times, but like some inspirational video sometimes... this one almost make me want to play the game, looks like nice story (like revenge stories) but not my style really and action... as said my personal story with Rome predates shortly even "Gladiators" or such copies in ideas as this, finished high school with ancient Rome "doctorate" ...don't know why, maybe genetical but i hate empires - maybe this one because it was "our"... anyway, nice video, maybe even i posted it before.... maybe it will let some tear down your face )

Vircator - Bootstrap Paradox (Full Album 2023)

There is Metal here but not the most agitated kind.

https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Vi ... 3540522969

With the exception of first and last, tracks bear the names of ancient civilizations...

since this is about music, let me hug you United England, sis ...they say if you are close to UK on this contest, you are really low... must admit i didn't watch, but guess our song was really awful. Nothing until we de-activate medieval/ancient style from early 2000s, only songs i even remotely could give "pass" personally, did not like any song in last 15+ years from our side... out of interest checked German song and without knowing any others surely better than many in-front, blind guess ; despite trashy style of clothes ; ...and looked back at voting now on back-on-demand-TV, how things changed from times 20 years ago when on every competition we had few 12s even automatically now just 3 and 4 points from German and Portugal jury as best (trrue pals)), but circus itself lost any importance indeed, but admit i watched it regularly until some 2010 - those who gave up competing are maybe right.... btw, respect to Iceland TV presenter and their message of love and to all winners since then if you are fan )

anyway, i'm not musical so much, so for entry here are two versions of one of fav songs from my collection, try to have every version outhere... always gets me up despite it's name. like every being unique and guitar having own voice, enjoy

...could also be song/anthem of our game 2 against Real Madrid still we think about such golden chance wasted, but doesn't matter, next year Euroleague....

here's btw German song - saved in favs really doubt it was deserved place, though German metal produced much better pieces... but not for public and tastes of Eurosong ; ...checked televote for us just and except Croatia and Slovenia (7 & 6), 2 from Malta and 1 Swiss from public, really find those things most ineteresting, though song unimportant - next time "moj Milaneee, moje lane" among best when you look at independent history of us

Lately there was hardly any new music for me that really interested me and that I would have liked to share with you here.

It's time again for the legendary Wacken Open AIR (W:O:A). Here you can find all information about the program and the bands: https://www.wacken.com/en/

Also this year TELEKOM offers a streaming service: https://www.magentamusik.de/wacken/woa-2023

W:O:A Update: Due to massive rain over northern Germany, the arrival was temporarily interrupted today by the organizer. The festival area is not passable and the tent and camping sites for the visitors are only limited available. This will be a big challenge for all involved this week ...
Led Zeppelin - The Rain Song

The W:O:A is obligatorily opened musically by the brass band of the Wacken Fire Department, the Wacken Firefighters.

In the meantime, the situation around Wacken becomes more and more dramatic. The organizers have declared a travel stop.

I haven't watch the livestream on Magenta TV, it was too hard as it hurt to look at them and feel that I should have been there

But nevertheless, I have my ticket for W:O:A 2014 (and for HellFest 2014 too )

Well, maybe in a few weeks you will get over the pain and have the desire to see to one or the other concert. Then I recommend the following link: https://www.magentamusik.de/collection/wacken-2023
It's almost 100 concerts, interviews and reports. Probably you could have seen only a part of them in Wacken.
Unfortunately, the top acts of each day are not available in the media library. Iron Maiden was not broadcast at all - instead, highlights of their old Wacken performances were presented at the same time. But this is due to the management of Maiden, who are a thorn in the side of such offers, because they don't earn enough with it (my guess). So the only possibility is to enjoy private videos in YT.
