been more than 35 years by the triptych Larks' Tongues in Aspic, Starless and Bible Black, Red, and I do not know what to expect from a violinist who has helped make the historic name of King Crimson , with its melodic elegance, but also with its deraglianti noisy delirium. Then I am surprised to find myself in front of a progressive metal band, packed with sounds and powerful, pounding drums and double bass passages, solos at the speed of light. The surprise is positive. The songs have great grooves and melodies are impeccable and engaging. Nothing original but still very effective, obviously played so divine, but never cold or detached, nor excessive. Cross joins the violin very well in this array of music, which still takes too liberally from the 70 crimsoniani, alternating moments of great melodic atmosphere, nervous steps, tantrums and metal. Demonstration of the incredible openness of this ultra-sixties, which continues to have fun on stage, and creating unusual melodies. There is time yet for a twisted version of Exiles, a really successful in his alternate intro worthy of Ozric Tentacles, and some passages are reminiscent of Pink Floyd. The band's songs convincing, especially in the great guitar-violin plots, but the task of closing the show has given immortal Starless, played rather like the original, although "metallic" and "square" in some passages. Result exciting and convincing, for one of the best songs of all time (no exaggeration!). The BIS is assigned to a distorted version of metal and very 21st Century Schizoid Man, pretty but not excellent in my opinion as revisiting previous proposals, as well as unrelated to the period spent in the band Cross Fripp. It 'still a treat for fans of the British band (who knows if they will have appreciated so much metal?! Mah .. doubt it ...) that has marked the history of rock. Great concert
