Recorded in the aftermath of King Crimson’s implosion in 1969, when two of its founding members unexpectedly quit the band, In The Wake Of Poseidon shares some similarities in approach and sound to In The Court Of The Crimson King and has been a firm favorite among fans of the band since it's initial release on 15th May 1970. It's an eclectic and experimental mix of bone-crunching riffs, Beatles-ish pop, tender ballads, soaring mellotron-drenched anthems and inscrutable atonal episodes. Highlights include Fripp’s savage guitar throughout Pictures Of A City and Greg Lake’s stunning vocal on the title track — his last with the group before his departure to form ELP. When In The Wake Of Poseidon was released in May 1970, it peaked at No.4 in the UK charts with one journalist proclaiming “If Wagner were alive today he’d work with King Crimson.”
The Devil's Triangle, Wessex Studio sessions 24th March 1970 and 6th April 1970 form part of the previously unreleased recordings from the In the Wake of Poseidon studio sessions in early 1970. Catfood and Groon are issued from Wessex studio sessions 3rd February 1970. All the original studio sessions from 1970 are being made available by download in 2020 to satisfy recent changes to copyright laws: all recordings must be released within the fiftieth year of their recording in order to continue to enjoy copyright protection.
This is the original 1970 stereo mix where Hi-Res format comes from, 30th anniversary remaster — by Simon Heyworth and Robert Fripp in September, 1999. The Hi-Res master is issued from the original album mixes. This edition of the album contains the single version of Catfood and it's B side Groon as additional tracks. © CM/Qobuz
