BELEW, ADRIAN - Side One (2005) [rated 2/5 by Easy Livin]

2008-02-03 10:28:05 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
 
...Belew has been such a long time stalwart of King Crimson, his solo work can often reflect the music of that band. This album is the first of a trio of connected albums (no prizes for guessing the titles of the other two) released in 2005 after a lengthy break from solo work Overall, there is a looseness to the music here, which is rooted in...

...Belew's prominent lyrics and delivery might chagrin some, even if they do work for me. I suppose the question is whether you view these things as flaws, or merely as features. Sure, Bruford is the storm of percussion he was on SABB, but that gives a much greater chance for the guitar interplay to be heard. Yes, the lyrics and vocals are a key...

...Belew, a deceptively simple-sounding drum part from Bruford, who manages to contribute a unique feel effortlessly, and Levin's array of bass sounds. A number of grinding guitar solos (presumably from Fripp) and a brilliant elephant impression from Belew complete the sound side of the song. Lyrically (supplemented by Belew's excellent,...

KING CRIMSON - Absent Lovers - Live in Montreal, 1984 (1998) [rated 4/5 by sinkadotentree]

2008-01-14 23:03:07 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
 
...Belew asks the crowd if they would like more of the weird stuff.Well they get it with Dig Me.Those last 3 songs for me are the weakest section of disc 1. Three Of A Perfect Pair really impresses me with the intricate guitar work and the ripping guitar after 2 1/2 minutes. Indiscipline opens with Bruford doing some complex and intricate drum...

...Belew, who almost directly went on to join King Crimson and revived the Crimson glory in what was to be a trio of high quality albums on which he sang, wrote lyrics and guitar duelled with maestro Fripp..3 years ago i made an eighty minute show of these three albums, each had a unicolor cover, Red, Blue and Yellow....btw I mixed up those...

...Belew, Levin and Bruford, but also adds Trey Gunn (Chapman Stick) and Pat Mastelotto (Drums/Additional Percussion) to create a double trio of 2 guitars, 2 bass and 2 percussionists. Abandoning the new wave influences of the 80s, and returning more to the sound of Larks/Starless/Red era but with an even heavier sound The album opens with an...

...Belew's playing is particularly interesting on this record, as his command of more mainstream 'rawk' artifices and techniques is a very effective counterweight against the more avant garde leanings of Robert Fripp. Adrian appears to take on the role of a 6 string equivalent to the previous 'rocker' in the band, John Wetton and this lends the...

...Belew, formerly seen often with Frank Zappa, a good singer and guitarist who writes some odd lyrics. But here we have the band reformed, with a couple new members, and with a completely different outlook on music. One of the key ingredients here that makes it so unique is the ubiquitous Tony Levin, an impressively mustached bassist with a...
