| ATTAKcATHRAK (The Vicar's THRAK) is a sort of sequel to THRaKaTTaK insofar as it's assembled from live improvs, but is also very different. One of David Singleton's best pieces of production, the editing process for the new improv album provides more form and function to the material without compromising the spirit of the original improvs. Unlike THRaKaTTaK, which was based on stereo board recordings, this album is newly mixed, in both stereo and 5.1 Surround Sound, from multi-track tapes. | |

Limitowany zestaw "THRAK" to najnowsza pozycja z popularnej i uznanej
serii wznowień dyskografii King Crimson. 12CD, 1DVD, 1DVD-A i 2BD
dokumentują kompletną historię King Crimson z lat 1994-97, w studiu i na
scenie, prezentując imponującą ilość muzyki w formacie 5.1 surround
sound i hi-resolution stereo, niepublikowane dotąd materiały filmowe
oraz wiele innych atrakcji. Wszystko opakowane w stylowe pudełko o
wymiarach 30x30cm, w którym mieści się również pięknie wydana książeczka
i wiele pamiątek.
Powrót King Crimson w 1994r. idealnie zbiegł się w czasie z jednym z
najlepszych okresów sprzedaży CD, pojawieniem się wielu nowych stacji
radiowych w Stanach Zjednoczonych oraz rosnącą liczbą zespołów, które
powoływały się na wpływ KC na ich muzykę. Po ukazaniu się zestawów
"Frame by Frame" i "Great Deceiver" przygotowanych przez Roberta Frippa
także krytycy spojrzeli na zespół łaskawszym okiem, a muzyk odniósł
zwycięstwo w walce o prawa do katalogu King Crimson.
Łatwiej i taniej było też nagrywać, więc niemal wszystko, co zespół
zagrał w tamtych latach zostało zarejestrowane, a większość sfilmowana.
Taśmy obracały się nieustannie: od najwcześniejszych jamów i sesji demo
po ostateczne sesje w Nashville w 1997r.
Taka mnogość materiału ułatwiła przygotowanie znaczenie szerszego
przeglądu dokonań tamtego składu, szczególnie w formacie hi-resolution
stereo i 5.1 surround sound. Blu-ray 1 zawiera trzy pełne albumy w
formacie 5.1 surround i sześć w hi-res stereo, a Blu-ray 2 rejestrację
dwóch pełnych koncertów i dwa krótsze filmy.
Na nowo zmiksowany i podany masteringowi materiał (słyszany wcześniej i
nie) stereo na 12 CD to pełny przegląd studyjnych i koncertowych nagrań
zespołu. Nie ma przesady w stwierdzeniu, że zespół można w pełni
zrozumieć i docenić, gdy "THRAK" rozbrzmiewa z mocą z sześciu głośników.
