King Crimson - Radical Action To Unseat The Hold Of Monkey Mind

A 2015 live incarnation of the evolving entity that is King Crimson!

3CDs + Blu-ray offering performances on 2015 tours of U.K., Canada and Japan

Featuring 20-page booklet, packaged in two mini-vinyl-style gatefold sleeves in an outer slipcase

A comprehensive account of the 2015 King Crimson live tours of the U.K., Canada and Japan. Some pieces originally composed in 1969 the year of the band's inception, others composed/initially performed at a variety of points since, some new to the tour, all arranged for this specific band lineup.

It has been stated many times by Robert Fripp that King Crimson is not so much a band as it is "a way of doing things". Less frequently stated but equally true, is the fact that the band inevitably seeks different ways of doing things. Now, with the release of Radical Action comes the most fully realised audio and visual statement from this band to date, running to three themed CDs and a Blu-Ray disc offering the filmed content along with an audio-only option in lossless high resolution stereo and surround sound.

Featuring a 20 page booklet and presented in two mini-vinyl style gatefold sleeves in an outer slipcase, Radical Action includes:
• Three CDs - presented as individually themed ‘virtual studio albums' with no audible audience - featuring a representative example of every song/piece performed by King Crimson on its 2015 tours of the UK, Canada and Japan.
• One Blu-Ray featuring a complete concert performance in high-resolution stereo and 5.1 surround audio, complete with ‘picture off' mode allowing the music to be heard independently in pristine, lossless audio. (24/48khz as per original recordings)
