King Crimson's 1969 debut is the record that drew the blueprint for progressive rock, and this pressing lets you hear it fresh. Steven Wilson and Robert Fripp built the new mix from the original multitracks, a project begun for the album's 40th anniversary, and it is cut here to heavy 200 gram vinyl. Five tracks cover remarkable ground: the snarling riffs of 21st Century Schizoid Man, the pastoral drift of I Talk to the Wind, the Mellotron grandeur of Epitaph, the free-floating Moonchild and the regal title suite. Pete Townshend called it an uncanny masterpiece, and it still sounds like nothing else.
