    I love how Gabriel would just grab half of King Crimson any time he wanted to do an album.

      um,.. Robert Frip who IS king crimson would lend Pete some of his tools when he wasn't using them at the moment...

      Actually , many went to King Crimson for the musical exploration. Tony was with Gabriel in 77 then KC in 1981 onward. Same for Bruford leaving YES to join KC. It is interesting to see the overlap of musicians in our musical tastes. ❤ cheers

    Tony just gives out that sound like nothing, sitting on chair, having a chat lol Such groove. In Daniel Lanois' interview with Beato he explains also how they made that sound using compression and gate from the desk at "11". Everyone that has worked with Tony Levin says he just needs to hear a song once and he's got it mapped out in his head and just comes out with the greatest parts, just like that, sitting on a chair. lol
