5 December 1977 Disengage

Unknown
“A bit more guitar!” says Phil Collins as he prepares to go through another take of what would turn out to be Disengage. It’s a barbed kind of riff which the players are still getting to grips with as John Wetton’s “I can’t remember the beginning” comment indicates. “No worries” says Fripp has he shows his old band mate the introduction before he counts the three of them in.

One part surgical precision and two parts blunt object, had 1974’s incarnation of Crimson continued this track may not have been a million miles away from what they might have sounded like.

Consisting of four different takes of the same track, we get to hear the anatomy of Disengage as it begins to breath and stretch. It’s interesting to hear each musicians trying out little experiments, pockets, retreats and chancing the occasional headlong thrust as the temperature rises or the inclination takes them.

Not all of it us quite yet under their fingertips so we hear the musicians listening to the parts, their own groove, and the others in the room - though not always in that order. And how about that brief break-out solo from Robert on version 2. Phew! Never mind what might have been - here it is!

Cool songs, I need more !!
These are cool takes of Disengage which is much better without vocals as on Exposure. Wetton's bass sounds great. Cool songs, they rock pretty hard. And it's 13 minutes for only $1. Worth buying if you want to hear a cool 1973-74 style riff. Need more from Wetton-Fripp-Collins!

An Unexpected Delight
I came across this after I downloaded the WMCF Sessions and am eternally grateful this moment in time was preserved, and that it is available here. Phil’s playing just ooozes excitement, seemingly just from playing with someone else other than Genesis. John Wetton is just a god on the bass in my musical world, so listening to this combo noodling around on a theme was a pure pleasure to me. Thanks again for bringing this one out and making it available. Cheers.

Muscular Riff
Similar to the beefy style of Red (as opposed to the more nuanced layering of LTiA) I wish there was more.  Did these fellows ever record anything else? (together, I mean)

MORE OF THIS...
Did Wetton play on any more demos like this? Love to hear them. Thanks.
