Jakszyk, Fripp and Collins - A Scarcity of Miracles

Palatable Vera · 06-01-2011, 09:05 PM

EDIT: I guess a tracklisting would be nice:
-A Scarcity of Miracles
-The Price We Pay
-Secrets
-This House
-The Other Man
-The Light of Day

I was surprised that no-one had posted this yet. Oh well. It's here now.

I liked this album quite a bit, actually. It's almost nothing like the King Crimson that I remember, except for the members, so don't listen and expect an In The Court or a Red. In fact, I found it quite jazzy and laid-back, even enjoyably so, but it's really just something to relax to and definitely isn't anything fantastic. Yes, I enjoyed it, but it won't be one of those classic albums nor do I expect it to gain much attention aside from the fact that it's the first new KC-related material to be released since, what? 2003?

So what do you guys think?

Currently my AOTY: the whole record gives me some fantastic vibes reminiscent of Fripp's work with David Sylvian back in the 90's. Plus, ambient-jazz isn't something KC have made an entire record out of in the past, so I'd consider A Scarcity Of Miracles to be an admirable progression from The Power To Believe.
