Definitely one of the best reinterpretations by this lineup. The arrangement just goes into turbo for the last few minutes.. sax and drums just pushing it over the edge.Interesting hearing a "flatter" sounding board recording rather than the mix on the new release. Here the drums don’t leap out as much losing some of the three drummer conversation, but gaining in just the instrumental punch from the others.

David Singleton, touring with band, in a recent communiqué noted “During this track, Robert had the sense that for the very first time, Crimson were playing their music in their complete form. As if previously, this had been orchestral music played on a piano or a sinfonietta, and now it was finally being played by a full symphony orchestra.”
