Stick Men – Tentacles

Description

With King Crimson officially in retirement (untilRobert Fripp changes his mind), the team of TonyLevin, Pat Mastelotto and Markus Reuter servesas a more than suitable alternative, with the soundwonderfully similar to the Kingdoms Red period.

Levin is on Chapman Stick, touch guitars andvocoder, with Mastelotto on various drums andpercussion and Reuter creating soundscapes withhis own touch guitars. The result is a mix ofgorgeous textures as on Ringtone and Danger Inthe Workplace that mix ambience with ominoussonic atmospheres.

Theres also a thunderous pounding of drama onCompany of Ghosts and a relentless drum patternfor Reuter on Satieday Night while the team rockshard on Tentacles.

Levin continues to be one of the most impressivecreators of new sounds, as his Chapman sticktakes fusion to an exciting new level. Three of aperfect pair. – George Harris, Jazz Weekly
