With little in the way of formally composed music during the making of Beat, King Crimson improvised their way to a solution to that particular problem. The result was Requiem, whose audio fireworks between solos by Robert and Adrian would lead to a breakdown and falling out between the two guitarists.
Taken from the Beat sessions’ 24-track tape, DGM’s Alex ‘Stormy’ Mundy has discovered two alternative solos which formed the introduction to the track.
Edited together, they provide listeners with a wonderfully intimate view of the artist stepping forward toward the blank canvas, as it were, and beginning those first bold strokes that might set the mood and direction of what will follow.
