King Crimson: The Condensed 21st Century Guide to King Crimson 1969-2003
by John Kelman
Few groups have been anthologized as often as progressive/art rock band King Crimson. Perhaps it's the group's ever-changing lineup, or that guitarist/co-founder Robert Fripp has the habit of disbanding successive groups when they've fulfilled their purpose, with long gaps between the reincarnations. Since 2004 there have been two Discipline Global Mobile box sets ...
King Crimson: The Collectable King Crimson Volume One
by John Kelman
In 1973-74, King Crimson was not just a powerful progressive rock group capable of navigating guitarist Robert Fripp's most challenging writing to date.

The ...

Steve Hackett: Wild Orchids
by John Kelman
With the rumor mill in high gear about a 2007 Genesis reunion, the release of band alumnus Steve Hackett's Wild Orchid couldn't come at a better time.

The Great Deceiver (Live 1973-1974)
by John Kelman
Despite bassist/stick player Tony Levin stepping in to replace departing touch guitarist Trey Gunn, the incarnation of King Crimson that released The ConstruKction Of Light (Virgin, 2000) and considerably stronger The Power To Believe (Sanctuary, 2003) seems to be, at the very least, on hiatus. While Crimson's only remaining original member, guitarist Robert ...
White Willow: Signal to Noise
by John Kelman
White Willow, a group of Norwegian progressive rockers, has long since given up its early folk-rock roots, moving towards a symphonic prog sound with an aggressive edge that has made the band popular on the Scandinavian circuit for the past few years.
