Last year (2021), the excitement of King Crimson’s performance in Japan has not diminished yet, and Stick Men’s live sound source will be released in April this year. The sound is King Crimson itself. That should be Tony Levin and Pat Mastelotto’s rhythm section. Although the number of people will be small, there is no thinness at all because each person has a large number of notes. Crimson’s masterpieces such as “Red”, “Revel Fiave”, and “Sun and Shiver”. It’s like an introduction to the King Crimson trio, but this is just a band called Stick Men. Moreover, Stick Men has released a new album “Tentacles” for the first time in a long time (I also recommend that new album). It is also a collection of masterpieces with irregular time signatures. Fortunately, it is also played here. In other words, King Crimson’s masterpieces + Stick Men’s new songs. Furthermore, there is no doubt that the prog-rock fans will be crazy and crazy when the sound quality is outstanding while recording the audience.
去年（2021年）キング・クリムゾンの来日公演の興奮もまだ薄れない今年4月のスティック・メンのライヴ音源登場です。サウンドはキング・クリムゾンそのもの。それもそのはずトニー・レヴィンにパット・マステロットのリズム隊。人数が少なくなりますが、各自手数音数激多の為、薄っぺらさは全くありません。『レッド』、『レヴェル・フィアイヴ』、『太陽と戦慄』などクリムゾンの名曲ずらり。と、まるでキング・クリムゾン・トリオの紹介のようになってますが、これはあくまでスティック・メンというバンドです。しかもスティック・メン、久しぶりの新譜“テンタクルス”を出しています（ついでにその新譜もお勧めします）。それもまた変則拍子の名曲ぞろい。嬉しいことにここでも演奏されいます。つまり、キング・クリムゾンの名曲＋スティック・メンの新曲達。さらにオーディエンス収録ながら音質抜群ときてもうプログレ・ファン狂喜乱舞間違いありません。
