Product note

This 12-song compilation draws tracks from the early '80s incarnation of King Crimson, as well as from the 1969 debut of the original line-up. The contrasts between the two eras are striking, as is the common thread, namely founder and guitarist Robert Fripp. His structural, melodic and harmonic sensibilities gave the band its core identity. Though neither of the songwriting credits for "I Talk To the Wind" or "The Court Of the Crimson King" bear Fripp's name, his presence is so clearly articulated on both that they almost seem to be his alone.
Conversely, the band that reformed in the eighties (with Tony Levin, Bill Bruford, and Adrian Belew) shared writing credits with Fripp, though a song such as "Heartbeat" is most consistent with Belew's solo albums. Ultimately this is a well-sequenced set, with two-thirds of the selections from DISCIPLINE, BEAT and THREE OF A PERFECT PAIR, and the remainder (including the always staggering "21st Century Schizoid Man") culled from the first album.
