Текст песни: 21st Century Schizoid Man - Commentary + перевод

Welcome, I’m David singleton producer of King Crimson 50

To celebrate King Crimson’s fiftieth anniversary, this year we will be

releasing 50 rare or interesting King Crimson tracks, one week starting on the

13th of January which is king crimson’s birthday the day in 1969 when they

first began rehearsing in the Fulham Palace Cafe in London

Appropriately the first rack is 21st Century Schizoid man the opening track on

their first album

This particular version also dates to my own first involvement with the band

My first work. Robert Fripp and helped to compile a frame-by-frame box set in

I recall exactly how this radio edit came to be made

The record label Virgin Records were keen that there will be a radio friendly

version of 21st Century Schizoid Man to help to promote the box set and I

recall Robert Fripp telling them that there was no such thing as the track was

about 7 minutes 30 long and in my naive innocence of King Crimson I recall

telling him «well, of course, there’s a shorter version because I can remember

when I very first heard this

Song thinking what a wonderful first verse, what a wonderful second verse,

what a wonderful third verse and what on earth are all those solo is doing in

the middle»

Improving that he has a sense of humor, Robert Fripp suggested that I try

making exactly that edit

I’m not sure that I’d be entirely satisfied as is these days. Here it is the

radio edit of 21st century schizoid man in 1991!
