Nicky BookKeeper is in today, continuously & ongoingly nervous about my solvency & her role in that process. Her concern is matched by my desire to be paid large sums of unpaid income, going back 14 years, by UMG & EMI.
In DGM SoundWorld I there is a through-listen of assembled & sorted sound suggestions of KC at the Nokia, compiled by Mr. Stormy & David I..

Once Mr. Stormy’s sticking practice subsides, a blur of 5 against 1, we are off to NYC.
12.27 During down moments, several e-mails are being sent. One to UMG is titled another week, another e-mail. I note, there is rarely a sense of urgency in correspondence from those who owe us large amounts of money.
And from this e-mail to Last FM…
since ... You have been previously advised that the streaming of any King Crimson music is a violation of copyright ... why would last FM have any KC music for de-streaming at all?
15.23 Post-late-lunch & back in DGM SoundWorld I, continuing our through-listen.
17.45 We have the basis of an agreement with UMG, seven months after the presentation of the audit.
Onto the last KC blast of celebration from the Nokia: VROOOM Coda.
My overall view: the magic was in the air, in the space, in the moment. The recordings are interesting, variable in accuracy & performance & intensity, and the back line a treat; and these are not definitive renderings. And there was magic in the air.
