King Crimson Releases Improv Bass Jam with Trey and Tony from Thrak Sessions

PLAY: King Crimson - "Two Sticks" (Track hosted on DGMLive)

This week's free download from King Crimson is an improv bass jam with Trey and Tony from the Thrak sessions (recorded 9 Nov 1994).

What happens when you put two formidably talented Stick players in a room with an idea? They try and try again to iron out the creases and wrinkles. This is Trey and Tony taking time out from the main recording of Thrak to see if they could get an idea to fly. Despite going on for an hour (this is just an extract) it never quite made it from the drawing board stage. Fascinating nevertheless. I don’t know about you, but does this particular idea share some of the same DNA of Trey’s labyrinthine bass line to The ConstruKction of Light?

King Crimson Releases Demo of "Inner Garden" (from Thrak) as a Free Download

PLAY: King Crimson - "Running DAT 8" (Track hosted on DGMLive)

This week's free download from King Crimson is a studio session from Thrak where the band is working through an early version of "Inner Garden".

After Pat’s count-in, we hear the happy-sad sound of Inner Garden but in this earlier form it comes with double drums. Adrian guides the team through the changes on this work-in-progress rendition that would eventually dispatch the percussive parts in favour of something slightly more open-ended and ambiguous on the Thrak album.
