The great poet and songwriter has now sadly left us.
I was still hoping for a follow up to Still ....
RIP Pete Sinfield

Re: RIP Pete Sinfield
Anyone who produced the debut Roxy Music album is ok in my book.
... didn't he used to post here occasionally?

RIP Pete
The wall on which the prophets wrote
Is cracking at the seams.
Upon the instruments of death
The sunlight brightly gleams.
When every man is torn apart
With nightmares and with dreams,
Will no one lay the laurel wreath
As silence drowns the screams.
The wall on which the prophets wrote

Re: RIP Pete Sinfield
That’s very sad news. I played a few tracks from Still
Only a couple of weeks back.
He was quite amused when he read the beautifully written posts he had supposedly written about Gregory and ELP on Mojo4music back in the good old days. I can take no credit for them but I know a man who can.

Re: RIP Pete Sinfield
Listening to the ITCOTCK mega box when I read this news.
I’m a new Crimson convert, so I can’t say I’m too affected by this sad news. I googled him a couple of weeks ago, to try and learn about the fallout from his KC sacking.
The DGM website wasn’t at all disparaging. Maybe him and Fripp weren’t on bad terms. I don’t know.

A friend of a friend has a weekly music show on his local amateur radio station. It doesn't have a listen-later facility, you can only hear it live. It's a prog rock show, and tomorrow (23rd) he's doing a Pete Sinfield edition.

Re: RIP Pete Sinfield
Hey C!
I’m getting into the big discipline boxset right now.
Yeah, there’s an eighties vibe you can’t escape, but Belew, Levin, and FRIPP!
I’ve sunk a lot of time and money into my latest obsession, and it’s paying off.
What I’m learning about fripp is COMMITMENT!
It helps that I now live in Bournemouth, so the biographical details are relatable.
Fripp,, Levin, and Bruford are monsters; Belew is on his own. Frank knew how to pick ‘em.
I reckon Frank’s, not Bowie’s patronage, gave Belew the affirmation.

Good lad
There are some excellent live albums from a range of periods and line ups
Have you heard/got USA the extended version?
That is essential. It shows off the improvisational skills of the lads - tracks nestled between album tracks
The track Trio on the part live album Starless & Bible Black is an improvised track credited to all the members of the band - including Bruford who does not contribute anything - not even a cymbal crash!
He was waiting to join in but found the track so beautiful that he decided to abstain
Unusual for Bill!
