Exiles Foldback Mix
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 сер 2024
- Featuring John, Bill, and Robert, this pre-Red power trio can be heard mapping out the song’s overall structure with Robert putting in placeholder strumming that gives the piece a welcoming, almost folk-rock feel.
John’s funk-soaked bass pushing around below the song is quite high in the mix and it’s possible this reference copy was run off for home listening in order to define the part he would soon finalise. Interesting also, hearing Bill refining the clipped military march feel.
By utilising Robert’s introspective Mantra theme which had last seen live action in 1969 where it surfaced during looser, free-form sections of their concerts, combined with David Cross’s wistful main melody and Richard Palmer-James’ semi-autobiographical lyrics about youths leaving their native stomping ground (in this case Bournemouth), Exiles has a kind of end-of-an-era poignancy.
STORMY MONDAY SELECTION is the best. So glad he has the keys to the King’s castle and sneaks us in the side door.
Love how much clearer it becomes that Mantra from the original lineup was adapted into the intro.
Whatever iteration it is, Exiles is always one of the highlights of Crimson's catalogue.
Well said. Exiles is a special gem 💎
Bruford made the best artistic decision in Rock by leaving Yes at their peak and joining Crimson
Where did you find this comment?
And a bold one at that
I love these rough mixes where you can hear some mistakes...It gives hope for all the other humans musicians to carry on I think, at least that is my case.
@AlexanderBabikovHimself Thank you! I guess we´ll keep on practicing and finding different motivations, as they are actually infinite...Saludos desde España.
Saw them twice with this line up, with and without Jamie Muir. John Wetton was particularly impressive. I like this 'formative' stuff.
Man! Lucky!!!
This is the line-up that I love more... by far: Bill-John-Robert. I got a sensation of KC end after Red wasn't happy...
@@domico5838 For sure!!
@@xqlbikes5790 Surprisingly enough the band's future was bright after the excruciatingly tense 1974' US Tour they had. They were even in talks to bring back Ian McDonald and even another studio release after Red. It all came falling down though. The band in general was happy except Fripp who was becomingly increasingly disillusioned with he music industry after reading Gurdjeff's works. It also lead Fripp to believe that somehow the world was ending in 1981 and that he had to prepare for it. Fripp presented EG, King Crimson's management label a proposal to continue King Crimson without him but the label declined. It was most likely Steve Hackett would've joined the band along with Ian if the label accepted. I'll also add that when the label declined his proposal Fripp disbanded King Crimson immediately two weeks after the release of Red.
What a memory to be left with some 48 years later. This is my favorite incarnation of KC. This period was short but oh so very sweet. I never thought David Cross received the recognition he was due for his unique contribution to KC.
The intro sounds like Fly on a windshield by Genesis.
I like King Crimson... I like Genesis!!
Perfect!!
Except Crimson's came first.
This also came to my mind when I heard it!
@@steverickenbacher7110 Yeah!
Intro is Mantra by OG Lineup.
Similar to the Beat Club version! Wetton's vocals and bass playing are particularly impressive. "England's finest bass player" I think Fripp said at the time.
The ornate instrumentation of the album version adds a sad, nostalgic and bittersweet mood. But, but by i reason i don´t know, this naked and raw version turns the song into a sadder one. Can´t explain why, but this is the way i feel.
So grateful King Crimson immortalized their music so youngsters like me can enjoy these clips
This is what all music channels should do, upload unused mixes/songs.
Robert Fripp Bill Bruford John Wetton The best trio ever!
Oh I've gone all unexpectedly nostalgic on a Monday morning! Nice to hear this, thanks.
Brilliant to hear this, my all time favourite KC tune.
Love Wetton's bass playing and singing here along with Bruford's drum playing.
Bill Bruford in his best:)
Viva King Crimson! 🎸
These are a gift to humanity, thank you so much for uploading them! I love that the intro sounds more like how the original line-up would play Mantra; I love Mantra so it's nice to hear a studio version of what it would sound like.
I miss JW.
Thanks for making my day better
Thank you Mr. Stormy for sharing this, very nice 🙂
Sounds completely different without that extra instruments
How can Wetton play these sick bass lines and manage to sing at the same time so perfectly
Love this song and always have one of my king crimson faves by far and away for me the best version is the live version on USA I’ve never heard any other recordings were they did it in that style someone in the comment section mentioned that they out Floyd Pink Floyd the USA version is exactly that
One of my favourite songs...
Very interesting. Thanks
Bill Bruford is a dawg
Hearing fly on a windshield for a spell
Que maravilla
Wetton’s bass playing!!!
Super power trio
I really hope to see this live with the current lineup
I’d love it if they brought the violin back in. We could finally get a proper version of Dr. Diamond
@@robbieclark7828 too bad they don't have a violinist
@@kidflersh7807 he's saying it would be nice if they brought David Cross back, or found someone else that could do it. Now they have real electric violins, too. No more duct taping a mic or pickups to one and running it through a hiwatt stack or whatever they did back then lol
Magistral... 💎💎💎👏👏👏🎼🕪
Pure magic in a bottle.
On a different but related subject did anyone else notice the banner on this video advertising a KC show on 6/28 in Lewiston, NY? I think someone is overly optimistic. I would like to hope the world would be back to normal by then but things aren’t looking so good. Hang in there gang, I hope to see us all at a KC show in the future.
So good! Simple as that.
that bass tone!
Exciting As the whole King Crimson work. 🎵🎼🎶

now it's 640-1. that one dislike must be from a post malone fan. i wish i'd never knew who that was.
Que bien, ahora se de que trata la letra de la canción
I know it's controversial, but this song out-Floyds the Floyd
apples and oranges (no pun intended)
Just as nobody can out-crimson King Crimson, nobody can ever out-floyd Pink Floyd.
Status of the Floyd: *outfloyded*
JokeGen, Press: Floyd: Not quite my tempo.
Except that John Wetton could play circles around Roger Waters.
Even in this "skeletal" version, you can see just how good a song this is...🫡
Exiles
So long ago...
Exiled to my age, I just laughed at myself - so long ago that I can't remember how old I was - old?😂what age? - was I ever that young? Just a few years ago someone really young sang he'd be riding shotgun. That's old. 19th century old.

Sounds like they transformed into a combo of the Velvets and ELP it seems. Just saying.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
King Crimson never got anyone laid...except for Robert Fripp
I could see Greg Lake getting laid back then. He had a great voice back then and looked sharp.
@@michaelsestak8383 its a joke I've been making for 20 years...the last part is new
It wasn't even KC that Toyah was into, but No Pussyfooting
@@michaelsestak8383 too true. Greg Lake was adorable
Very beautiful version. The trio is wonderful. Wetton's voice is now a key to nostalgia and sorrow

Dunno what to say

Esa tonada acústica 00:07 me recuerda a la pachequísima "Mantra" (Live Fillmore West, Dec-69)
Estoy en lo correcto o estoy chafiando gacho?

Vi a varios en esta sección de comentarios decir lo mismo, así que supongo que es verdad. Eso, o es una flayada colectiva entre todos jaja.
Dear Luis, If you read the notes about the track it tells you exactly that. Al utilizar el introspectivo tema Mantra de Robert, que se vio por última vez en acción en vivo en 1969, donde apareció durante secciones más sueltas y de forma libre de sus conciertos,
