if you've seen the live album Sheltering Skies on streaming, this was the original KCCC release. a really good Adrian here :)

i think Adrian put SO much stress on himself, the poor guy. he was the sole lyricist of the band and always seemed pressured by himself and most importantly by the time constraints Fripp put on the band post-Discipline to churn out lyrics and think of creative instrumental shit. AND he's contributing on guitar

the previous Crimson lyricists have either had lyricist be almost their entire role, or they collaborated with someone (like Wetton and Palmer-James). I think Adrian is a very great lyricist anyway. but I do wonder what could've happen if he could've had like a little more support in some way

but like Adrian's right, what lyrics WOULD you put on Sartori in Tangier or Absent Lovers? and it's not even a question of would, but rather SHOULD. and his instrumental contributions on both songs are great. idk. i need to give him a hug. he is amazing

Fripp trying to get more involved in the mixing during Beat was so funny like. he made their producer turn ALL reverb off but then their producer would add a little bit after Fripp left

what the fuck the studio that Crimson recorded Beat at was owned by the guy who produced The Cheerful Insanity of Giles, Giles, and Fripp

"The reason I'm actually smiling a lot is that it's just natural. I really love playing music and you know, the rest of the day, the other 22 hours might be shit. But when you're on stage suddenly there you are and it's the thing you wanted to be doing the whole day."

"I think the hardest thing that I do is all the dance work on the pedals and things. You've got to get that to be so second nature that you don't have to be looking down all the time. By the time I've figured that out and it's started to become what we call in Crimson 'in the body'."

"What that means is that I can actually be playing in one time signature and my body is feeling that and I don't have to worry about that and I can sing something in a different time signature. It's similar to what a pianist does when they play the bass with the left hand and the melody with the right."

"I think it's just a natural thing. I'm so attached to guitar and it feels so natural to me. It's my voice. It's like talking; I don't have to think about everything, I just do it."
