King Crimson – The Elements 2015 Tour Box

High on my list of things to do at the recent KC live shows was “Pick up a copy of the 2015 Tour Box”. After much post-gig queueing – with not a little consternation that it might in fact sell out given the number that were being snapped up – I got one in my sweaty hands, or more accurately into the very tasteful KC Elements carrier bag that was given away with it. Don’t they know we have a carrier bag charge here in Wales, where should I send my 5p?

Anyhoo, on to the artifact in hand.

Simply put, The Elements 2015 Tour Box is a delightful addition to anyone’s KC collection. Robert Fripp and David Singleton have done, and are continuing to do, a spectacular job in disseminating the KC archive, live and studio, for the delectation of the fan hungry for more and this is no exception. It’s a beautifully packaged thing, the booklet featuring an illuminating essay by Sid Smith plus great images.

The music itself is a fascinating listen and, as you would expect, as far away from a quickly cobbled together cash in as you can imagine. Great care has been taken to make this work as a unified listening experience and to sound fantastic too. It draws together elements from the earliest days of the band in 1969 right through to the 2014 U.S. tour and doesn’t skimp on the ’80s period which is missing from the current tour setlist, making it an alternative career overview, laid out as it is in largely chronological order even if the recordings are taken from performances by later bands.

From the atmospheric opening extract of Mellotron “wind” used on 1969’s In The Court Of The Crimson King (as opens the 2014 Tour Box) we move on through fascinating instrumental mixes of Epitaph and Catfood and on to Bolero from the Lizard sessions with bass overdubbed by Tony Levin. This is a wonderful piece with plenty of additional blowing from the brass section.

Islands is featured with an extract of the title track which is simply gorgeous with beautiful instrumentation. From the same sessions the feverish drumming and guitar of A Peacemaking Stint Unrolls is a link between Islands and what would follow, with familiar sections included that did just that.

Larks’ Tongues In Aspic, Part II is next, firstly as a 2014 rehearsal extract with Fripp explaining to the rest of the band how the guitar changes are going to work. Raw, tentative and exploratory it is followed by the real deal, live and dangerous in 1974. Also from ’74 is a great live run through of Fracture , a classic Fripp tour de force that is as malevolent now as it was then. Moving to Red we get a guitar extract from the studio sessions for One More Red Nightmare that again acts as a rough intro to the full piece recorded in 2014 with Jakko Jakszyk singing, the first vocal piece of this set.

To the ’80s band now with the extended 12″ mix of Elephant Talk followed by a pacey and Stick heavy instrumental Absent Lovers from the Beat sessions that incorporates a great live feel, Frippertronics added to good effect. Fitting in nicely at this point is a 2014 soundcheck extract with a particularly ’80s feel. To round off the ’80s quartet and the first disc we get a mix of Larks’ Tongues In Aspic, Part III and Sleepless from the Three Of A Perfect Pair sessions, another great live in the studio segment.

Over on disc two we start the ’90s with all hell breaking loose on Jurassic THRAK , a thumping studio blast from the THRAK sessions. Slightly out of sync but fitting in well at this point is a new piece that the band are currently playing live, the drum trio The Hell Hounds of Krim , again recorded during the 2014 shows. Next a couple of tracks live in 1995, VROOOM and its coda, Marine 475 , the Double Trio in all its glory.

From the ProjeKcts “research and development” period we get ProjeKction from ProjeKct 4 (Fripp, Gunn, Levin, Mastelotto), recorded live in 1998 and clearly showing where the band were heading for The ConstruKction of Light , the title track from which we get from the studio sessions coupled with Larks’ Tongues In Aspic, Part IV , both in very different and much rawer versions. Back to the ProjeKcts for ProjeKct 3 (Fripp, Gunn, Mastelotto) and Sus Tayn Z from 2000, which is very enjoyable and sounds much as the title suggests.

The Power To Believe is represented by a 2002 demo of Part II , the gamelan percussion as engaging as always, followed by a live version from 2003 with extended soundscaping. There’s a very funky unreleased Ex Uno Patres from 2004 featuring Fripp, Belew, Levin and Mastelotto which is interesting as a pointer to where KC may have gone after The Power To Believe if hiatus hadn’t followed. It’s smoother than the angular ‘Nuovo Metal’ path they were following previously and mightily enjoyable.

A jump forward to 2010 and the A Scarcity of Miracles , released as a ProjeKct album, and a fascinating take of The Light of Day , part smoky jazz with great flute from Mel Collins and a sinister Fripp guitar stalking the background. This version shows another side of the Jakszyk, Fripp & Collins album and the link to the new KC that subsequently emerged. To my ears this is superior to the album version which was probably used as a better fit to the rest of the material.

We drop back again to 2008 next for a glorious Gavin Harrison / Pat Mastelotto duet on Ba Ba Boom Boom and then even further back to ATTAKcATHRAK from 1996 before coming full circle to round things off with a thundering 2014 live version of the track that started it all in 1969, 21st Century Schizoid Man which, tantalisingly, is listed as being from the “forthcoming USA II album”.

Over 140 minutes, this really is a stunning listen from start to finish, the familiar mixed with alternative versions and new material, all presented in sound of the highest clarity. All of the various eras of the band are represented and the choices made for inclusion are fully vindicated by the quality of the material. The rarities included are fascinating and the integration of the current band throughout the set is very well done indeed with the bonus of one of the new pieces that is now in the live set.

Clearly aimed at the hardened fan there will also be much to enjoy for the uninitiated listener but there are certainly easier ways to start ones devotion at the altar of the King. Once the current run of touring is completed you’ll still be able to pick up a copy from various outlets and I can’t recommend it highly enough if you have any interest in alternative goings on within the KC universe.

9 Things to See in Moscow's Red Square

 Sir Francis Canker/Getty Images

In most cases, you'll be entering Red Square from the north, passing landmarks such as the Bolshoi Theatre and Duma parliament building as you make your way southward. Although you don't necessarily have to pass through the Voskresensky (or Resurrection in English) Gates in order to gain access to the square these days, they definitely provide a sense of arrival, to say nothing of the way their left arch frame's St. Basil's Cathedral if you look from just the right angle.

An interesting fact is that while a gate of some kind has stood here since the mid-16th century, the one you currently see wasn't built until 1994, having been destroyed in 1931 so that tanks could enter and exit Red Square during military parades.

St. Basil's Cathedral

TripSavvy / Christopher Larson 

Few sights are as iconic not only of Moscow and Red Square but indeed of Russia than St. Basil's Cathedral, whose colorful, onion-shaped domes are a symbol of the country around the world. Officially known as the Cathedral of Vasily the Blessed, this church has stood since 1561, which is quite miraculous when you consider all the turbulent history that has transpired since then.

Among other things, religion was severely prohibited during the Soviet period , which led some to believe that this emblem of the Russian Orthodox church might not withstand the tenure of the USSR. 

An interesting fact is that St. Basil's is the so-called "Kilometer Zero" of Russia; all of Moscow's main roads (which can take you anywhere in Russia) begin at the exits to Red Square. In this way, St. Basil's iconic status also has an extremely tangible element.

The Kremlin

TripSavvy / Christopher Larson

When you think of The Kremlin, it's unlikely that positive images enter your mind. The fact that simply saying the word "Kremlin" is too vague a descriptor (most Russian cities have their own Kremlin complexes; you should say "Moscow Kremlin") notwithstanding, this misunderstood place is incredibly beautiful, even if you don't like the policy that comes out of it.

Senate Square

In spite of its name, which refers to the role the building that rises above the square played during Imperial Russia, Senate Square is actually home to Russia's presidential administration, currently helmed by Vladimir Putin. In order to see where Russia's legislature operates from, walk just outside Red Square to the Duma parliament building.

Dormition Cathedral

Dating back to the year 1479, the gold-domed Dormition Cathedral pays homage to an Orthodox religious feast that commemorates the death of the Virgin Mary . As is the case with St. Basil's, it is curious that such a conspicuously religious structure was able to survive through the Soviet period.

Armoury Chamber

Though it takes its name from the fact that it housed Russia's royal arsenal when it was built in the 16th century, the most notable resident of the Kremlin's Armoury Chamber today is the Russian Diamond Fund.

Notable Kremlin Towers

Robert Schrader

The interior of the Moscow Kremlin is more beautiful and inviting than you'd expect, but the walls and towers that rise around it better live up to the intimidation with which the complex is associated. 

Borovitskaya Tower

Named to commemorate the dense forest that once stood atop the mount where it's built, this tower is extremely picturesque. Built in the late 15th century, it's visible from most places in the square, and also as you walk along the Moskva River.

Nikolskaya Tower

Also built in the year 1491, this tower currently suffered destruction at the hands of Napoleon's army in the 19th century. What you see now is the result of an 1816 re-design and renovation, though artillery fire during the Russian Revolution also caused superficial damage to the tower, named to honor St. Nikolas of Mozhaysk , so it's difficult to know which elements of it are original.

Spasskaya Tower

Known in English as the "Savior's Tower," this iconic, star-topped tower is perhaps the best-known of all the Kremlin's towers. Built in 1491 like the other two towers on this list, it's certainly the most photographed. As a result of its proximity to St. Basil's, it often makes its way into tourists' pictures.

Mausoleum of Lenin

Just as it's strange to learn how many religious monuments survived through the Soviet period, it's a bit odd to think that Lenin's preserved body still sits in a mausoleum just beneath the walls of the Kremlin on Red Square, given the lack of consensus about the ultimate impact of his Revolution, even in Russia.

It's not guaranteed that you'll be able to see the body (which, believe it or not, seems to be improving with age ) when you go, and if you do you will likely have to wait in line, but even strolling past the outside of the Lenin Mausoleum, flanked by stone-faced guards that almost look like statues, illuminates the gravity of his body still being here.

GUM Shopping Center

You might cringe, at least initially, when you realize that one of the most iconic stops on a tour of Red Square is a department store—until you see said department store, that is. Built in 1893 and known during Soviet times as the State Department Store, GUM  ( Glávnyj Universáľnyj Magazín​ or Main Universal Store in English) hearkens back to the grandeur of the late 19th century, both seen from the outside (especially, when lit up at night) and the interior, which might have you feeling like you're further west in Europe.

A trip inside GUM is a particularly good idea during winter, when frigid temperatures outside will have you savoring the heat, the quality of souvenirs, confections and other goods sold inside notwithstanding. Also, make sure not to confuse GUM with CDM, which sits near the Bolshoi Theatre, even though both are stunning and iconic in their own right.

State Historical Museum

The Russian State Historical Museum is located near Voskresensky Gates, though you should wait until after you've seen the first few attractions of Red Square and the Kremlin to head back there and go inside. To be sure, as you pass by its facade (whose late-19th century grandeur somewhat obscures that fact that it's currently a museum accessible to the public) you might not even think to try and gain entry.

Once inside the museum, you can plan to spend at least a couple of hours, given that artifacts here date back to the very beginning of the Russian state in the ninth century. As is the case with GUM, this will be a particularly alluring prospect if you visit in winter, when Moscow is arguably at its most beautiful, but certainly at its least tolerable. 

Minin-Pozharsky Monument

It's somewhat easy to disregard this monument, which pays homage to the two Russian princes who ended the so-called "Time of Troubles" in the mid-16th century, during which Polish-Lithuanian forces occupied Russia, among other awful things including a famine. That's because the statue currently sits just at the base of St. Basil's Cathedral, which makes it very difficult to photograph or even see without being overwhelmed by that much more famous edifice.

Though the statue originally sat at the very center of Red Square, it came to be an obstacle to the movement of tanks during the Soviet period, much like the Voskresensky Gates. As a result, authorities moved it during that time, and it's stayed where you currently find it ever since.

Kazan Cathedral

Taken by itself, the smokey-pink Kazan Cathedral is an architectural marvel; originally built in the 17th century, the church you find here today, located just north of the GUM department store, dates back only to 1993.

Unfortunately, since it sits not only in the shadow of GUM, but also in the shadow St. Basil's and the Towers of the Kremlin, it's easy to miss entirely if you aren't looking. As a result, you might wait until you've seen just about everything else in Red Square before coming here to take photos, and to appreciate the understated beauty of this oft-overlooked cathedral.

Moskva River

As you head south from St. Basil's Cathedral to exit Red Square, make sure to walk onto Bolshoy Moskvoretskiy Bridge, which crosses the Moskva River. If you look due north, you can get an excellent shot of the church framed, on the left, by the towers of the Kremlin. Directing your gaze a bit to the west allows you to see the skyscrapers of Moscow City as they rise above the Kremlin's walls.

Walking westward along the riverbank is also a worthwhile excursion, for the views it provides of Red Square and the Kremlin, as well as the fact that doing so takes you to other iconic Moscow attractions, including Gorky Park and the Pushkin Museum. The views you enjoy from the river and the bridge are particularly stunning at night, though you should make sure you bring a tripod if you want to get a clear picture, given how strong winds over and near the river can be.
