Album Review: The Crimson ProjeKCt - Official Bootleg Live - Extended Edition

It’s a release for diehard Crimson tragics only. Anyone else would be better suited to picking up the original records.



The Crimson ProjeKCt is the best King Crimson tribute band one could ask for; one comprising almost entirely of former members. On this live release, the band – fairly straightforwardly – reinterpret a handful of Crimson classics with the odd experiment thrown in. The set is pulled primarily from the group's '80s and '90s albums, but the highlight is a hard-rocking take on classic Red. This Official Bootleg is wholly enjoyable if unnecessary. It's a release for diehard Crimson tragics only. Anyone else would be better suited to picking up the original records.
