Gavin Harrison joining King Crimson!

[nelamvr6]

Interesting news on several levels.

Here's a link to the story.

I really like Gavin's drumming, and it would be really interesting to hear him with King Crimson, but I really hope he doesn't leave Porcupine Tree permanently!

hmmm. i thought they had already spent some time in the studio for their new album, are they going to start over, now?

Hard telling...

the way Fripp records, there's simply no knowing what has already been recorded... He may very well have not recorded the drum parts, or even have different drummers already recorded.

Or maybe Gavin won't be on the record but on the tour...

or maybe what has already been put down was just frippertronics.

The only thing I can say for certain is that I really want to hear it!

Mad man Fripp + Harrison should make for some sweet improv stuff

Come on ProjeKct XI!

And Park West is where I've seen them the last two times. This should be very interesting.

As for recordings, the Fripp/Belew nexus have recorded tons of stuff that later was dropped, evolved into ProjeKct stuff or was later recycled for Crim. So having most of an album in the bag will be no impedement to Uncle Bob.

For some reason I read the tread title as "George Harrison", and I was like isn't George dead? And since when did he play drums? I think I inhaled too much solder fumes today.

You know there is so much King Crimson stuff. All the CC stuff on DGM makes me dizzy. I have the 4 Projekts though, they are amazing.
