| :: Posted by Sid Smith on Wed., Oct 24, 2012 |
My thanks to tboyd for the heads-up that Steven Wilson was at DGM HQ yesterday recording Mellotron parts for his forthcoming follow-up to last year’s Grace For Drowning album.
Writing on his Facebook page Steven observed "“ Today I was at Robert [Fripp]‘s place recording the mellotron parts for my new album on his original sixties MK2 mellotron, famously the one used on the debut King Crimson album. Playing a real mellotron is quite an exhausting physical experience, but it sounds amazing….” And this snap from Steven’s Twitter feed You can check out more about the making of the album by visiting Steven’s brand new website.

The Trouble With Experience
:: Posted by Sid Smith on Wed., May 15, 2013
My thanks to djcub00 for the following item. djcub00 writes "Here is a letter Noel Redding wrote to the editor of Guitar Player
Magazine detailing his frustrations with the industry back in 1989. It seems like Fripp and company can relate to the sad practices of the
music industry, even for the bandmate of the most influential guitarist
in popular music.
