Damage [CD] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

CD reissue of this classic live recording, a collaboration between vocalist David Sylvian (Japan) and guitarist Robert Fripp (King Crimson)..With a well-received studio album in the form of THE FIRST DAY issued in summer 1993, Sylvian/Fripp took to the road for a lengthy tour to support the release. Trey Gunn reprised his role from the earlier tour and studio recordings as stick player, while Pat Mastelotto joined the group on drums, a position which led to his being offered a role in the 1990s King Crimson, a band in which he has remained a member of every line-up since. Producer and recordings artist Michael Brook completed the touring ensemble. DAMAGE was recorded at the final London concerts in December 1993 and issued in 1994. Whereas the studio album had a measured grace and power, the live album was even more muscular on the Rock pieces, drawing some extraordinary performances from all contributors. This made the contrast with the quieter, more ambient material even more pronounced, with audiences able to hear every nuance of the material. (NOTE: This reissue contains the 2001 remix of the album and not the original 1994 mix).
