King Crimson – In the Wake of Poseidon (2011 Reissue Remixed and DMM Remastered on 200g Vinyl)

In the Wake of Poseidon is the second studio album by progressive rock pioneers King Crimson, released on 15 May 1970. The album was recorded during instability in the band, with several personnel changes, but features a very similar style and sequence to their first album, In the Court of the Crimson King. As with their first album, the mood of In the Wake of Poseidon often and quickly changes from serene to chaotic, reflecting the versatile musical aspects of progressive rock. To date the album is their highest-charting in the UK, reaching No. 4. The album has been well received by critics.

This wonderful album was originally part of the remix / rarities series of titles previously only available in boxed set editions. Originally Remixed 2009 by Steven Wilson & Robert Fripp for King Crimson’s 40th anniversary. 

The great thing about revisiting a new copy of your old favourites is that, with modern mastering techniques such as Direct Metal Mastering, the quality of the sound reproduced on vinyl is now even better than you remembered it, and a pristine new gatefold sleeve is another gem to be treasured anew.
