![An Unexpected Gem ✨ | YES - And You and I [REACTION VIDEO]](/img/n.gif)
I was right. This goes deep. Apparently, Peter Green of Fleetwood Mac was inspired to write "Albatross" after hearing "Sleepwalk" by Santo and Johnny. The Beatles were inspired to write "Sun King" after hearing "Albatross". And in 1981, King Crimson was inspired to write "Matte Kudasai" by "Albatross".
Everything King Crimson is worth listening to, and yes, Adrian Belew's voice complements the music so perfectly. Loved KC back in the day, and love them still.
What a band. Tony Levin, on bass and Chapman Stick, has also played with Peter Gabriel for decades now. Bill Bruford was of course already legend for his time playing with Yes. And Adrian Belew's resume is deeeep...played with King Crimson, Frank Zappa, David Bowie, Talking Heads, Laurie Anderson and more. And Robert Fripp of course played on a Bowie Album, played with Peter Gabriel, and is a prog-rock legend of the highest order.
When "Discipline" came out it was the first KC album in seven years. When they released "Red" in '74 we who grew up listening to them were absolutely crestfallen. It was no secret it was a farewell album for the Wetton/Bruford/Fripp iteration of KC.
And then these four got together and put out "Discipline". You can hardly imagine our joy at their return. And I got to see them live when they were touring their next album, "Beat". It was magical. Belew was bouncing around the stage and was such a fun front man, while Fripp sat on a stool, body still but fingers flying, producing the most astounding sounds.
Anyway. Glad you got this through (for now at least).
Blessings.
I think 'matte kudasai' is Japanese for 'wait for me' or 'please wait' or something to that effect.
Elephant talk from same album. Really funky 😉
""Battery" means the collection of things you hit, specifically, the instruments of a percussion section as in an orchestra, from the Fr., batterie. It's a more concise substitute for the standard "drums and percussion."
Wait till you hear the rest of the album... Discipline is perfection.
Adrian Belew, his name is pronounced buh-LEW ....
I I never got the chance to really jam with him but I did hang out with him at a party for a while once talking about all the stuff. I was a big fan. He initially got his start well I don't know about that, but I do know that early on he played with Frank Zappa and the mothers and he had this groundbreaking moment where Frank just randomly decided that night like he often did for anything you could think of, that the whole band was going to dress and drag. And Adrian was brand new and resisted.
I guess he resisted so much and he was new enough that at one point Frank got angry and this was right before they were going to go to the afternoon sound check and just get ready for the evening you know? And he got angry and said well you're either going to wear a dress or you're out of the band. Just try to think of it as having fun for Christ sakes.
And he went ahead and did it and years later in an interview he would say how pivotal of a moment that was for him. It doesn't have anything to do with wearing a dress or anything, it's just that you have to be free to Let Yourself Go when you're performing for people. And he was better I think at doing musically than he was you know like in an Elvis style or anything like that obviously. But he was so damn good man. Incredibly creative incredibly incredibly creative. I can't tell you how many ways he innovated. He would rip like an old bass guitar pickup that was going bad you know like maybe one of the wires had shorted somewhere and so it just was all complete plinky and he incorporated into a larger cutout section that he had to use a Sawzall to open up on one of his guitars and put that failing bass pickup into the cavity. And then he hooked it up just so and just magnified it enough you know Amplified it that he utilized that failed bass pickup for this incredible incredible texture. It was amazing. Nobody ever knew what it was until if you bothered to go find an interview with him or something, laugh.
Waiting to see how long this stays up. KC has several different eras musically. I feel like they were one of the few prog bands to not fall into the 80's trap and stayed experimental.
Pretty sure Tony is playing a standard bass in this one. To hear the stick listen to Elephant Talk.
Adrian was discovered by Frank Zappa and was well known for making animal sounds with his guitar.
He also did work with David Bowie and Talking Heads where he almost replaced David Byrne. He rejected the offer and instead joined KC were he stayed through the early 2000's.
I have the knot design from this album cover tattooed on my arm. Listen to the title track, it’s kind of mind melting.
This is about Adrian’s Japanese Grandmother being in a interment camp in WWII
Oh, now it gets more emotional!!! Beautiful.
This song is special.
There are not many bands that have always been capable to produce great output with frequent personnel changes. Japanese ukiyo-e masters used to change their names frequently to reinvent themselves, and over the years, Fripp _engineered_ something similar with help from brilliant musicians all along the way. For a brief taste of this particular line-up in full effect, I'd recommend the "live in Frejus 1982" video, which is available on UA-cam --roughly 50 minute set, including "Matte Kudasai". --Waving from Istanbul.
That's such a great album. Belew was an awesome front man for the group. Loved his voice, and he and Fripp were quite a guitar duo. Throw in Levin and Bruford, and wow!
Those cool atmospheric effects sound an awful lot like a steel guitar to me, but I think it was just Belew performing his magic on a regular guitar, perhaps with a slide. Wait until you hear his guitar sound like an elephant on Elephant Talk!
Floating ❤
All that early Yes? Same drummer on this
He’s doing that with a guitar , you should watch Belew live. Thanks Jon , good choice!!!!
Adrian, who sings on this tune, also sang the vocals on your Frank Zappa “City of Tiny Lights” review. You should check out his solo stuff. He also was the musical director for a Bowie tour, was involved with the pop band “The Bears”, and many other groups. Amazing musician.
Batterie (sp?) is French for percussion.
Batterie is french for drums. Percussions in french is... percussions.
Wow - I haven't heard this before, but I immediately thought "that sounds like Albatross by Fleetwood Mac". I just listened to Albatross, and it's not the same, but has a very similar flavor.
Pure gold.
5 Months later and this is still the only reaction to a King Crimson track? C'mon there is way more to discover there! I suggest to start with the 1973-1974 era with Fripp, Bruford and Wetton. For a starter I suggest to react to Starless from the Album Red (1974)
Battery = Drums...
Some times the drum kit is called a battery...
Listen to Thela Hun Ginjeet , you’ll love it !
Batterie, est le Francais. Le batteur est le drummer.
It seems that the “Matte Kudasai” turned into a JoJo reference, lol
80's Crimson is really lovely. You should go backwards and listen to The Cheerful Insanity of Giles, Giles & Fripp..
I was lucky enough to see this line up in the Discipline tour at the Savoy in NYC in 1981. Belew and Fripp are both adding their own unique guitar styles and effects on this album. I also got to see them twice on their last tour in PNC Art Center and Beacon Theater with The Zappa Band.
Adrian Belew loved to make animal sounds with his guitar. It's kind of his trademark.
Loved? He propably still does
@@aaaaa111aaaaa He's touring with Jerry Harrison right now.
Yoko waiting for John
T.S.McPhee The Hunt • ua-cam.com/video/BRIUUBlFVZ8/v-deo.html 19:09 minutes
is a single psychedelic art rock electronic composition in four movements, featuring Arp 2600 Synthesizers, Electric Piano and The Rhythm Ace Drum Synthesizer. Entitled The Hunt, it explores McPhee's strong stance against Fox and Stag-Hunting.
It's a shame because unless it has changed, so much of their catalog is not on UA-cam and it gets taken down immediately. For some reason this particular song they have left up I don't know why. And I love it of course. It's off the so-called red album. Unfortunately I can't go here my famous and favorite old school one Lark's tongues in ass pic part 2 but you have to listen to the talking viola before that, laugh. But no this whole album was Fire Man it was a bit later and this is one of the few that you can actually watch on UA-cam now I don't know if it's tied up in an estate or what their problem is. It's beautiful music that everybody should be able to hear.
As far as what it means, there are many different ways to say I'm sorry in Japanese depending upon your social status and your gender and all that stuff. But this is one of them basically. But I think he's just saying oh well too bad, so sorry. It was nice but I guess you weren't into it. I guess man I haven't heard it in 8 billion years, laugh. Getting ready.
As far as devices associated with Robert Fripp who is almost a genius or maybe he is I wouldn't know because I'm not one myself. I can't tell you on how many levels he's at least seeming like a genius. But yeah this time, he really got into like kind of just crafting his own electronic you know like foot pedals for guitars and stuff like that. And then he also experimented with not what we think of as surround sound today but it is a very close precursor to it it sure is. But it was you would have like quadraphonic sound which they used to have was a big deal at some point in the seventies but it was expensive and hard to pull off but it was fantastic in a vehicle by the way. Oh my God that was great
But he had this idea that certain of the speakers in that configuration had to be good and some of them had to be messed up. And particularly the one behind you, and this is where he hinted at the future of surround sound was to be more of Distortion though, that's where it separated from that and so he would have you he actually had instructions for all the stuff, laugh, I'm not kidding. Fripper tronics. Look it up. And it's all one word but my autocorrect is killing me man. But at any rate he collaborated with Brian Eno a whole lot if that means anything man.
Tony Levin on the stick bass was an absolute phenomenon. An absolute phenomenon.
But I have to say, my favorite probably is Bill Bruford on drums. He originally was more of a modern Jazz drummer in a lot of his training but he sure did learn how to pull up the damn stops when it came to stuff like this. And unfortunately he's showing how amazing he is at being gentle here. But that's what burns me about I can't easily share a link to anything else on this cutting album that everybody loves. He shines on so many other things in crazy ways but I've tried and for some reason they just keep those things off UA-cam I don't know why.
So the title of the album has the word discipline in the title and it's hilarious because and if I recall correctly they're on two different sides of the record album back when we thought that way right? But I think in discipline was on the first side and discipline on the second side. And they were night and day. But the cool thing about indiscipline is it's hilarious. It has lots of stopping storytelling butthole surfer type parts for Adrian blue just has fun lyrically, and apparently it was based off a letter that like his wife got from a girlfriend or something. But Bill bruford on this shows you what's up man.
The whole thing is in slow triplet fives but it's just loud and distorted and Relentless and at some point bill just starts going nuts. And he's doing all these overlays and like he's starting to play a whole lot of straight stuff just to see how it matches back up with the Oddball five beat meter. And it's hilarious man he's just starts to go on increasingly longer and longer and longer and longer fills that are just insane and then somehow you lose all track of where the beat is and then he smashes it really hard. And then you realize you're right back on that one that downbeat of the five pattern. What a thing and it hurts me deeply that I cannot easily share it.
🤘🏻
batterie = drums/percussion
I'm shocked this hasn't been blocked
Ha - I just though of another thing. How ironic (and dishonorable) would it be if King Crimson blocked this video when their song was heavily dependent on another artist's song which was heavily dependent on a 3rd artist's song?
I'm surprised you got away with this usually it'll be blocked
Batterie = Drums in French. Not sure why he used the French word, but that's another story.
Matte Kudasai = Please wait in Japanese
