Re: kingcrimson in sf-no loop content...

Don't take what you saw in that movie too seriously.  As having worked on 
The
Home of The Brave, I will tell you a secret: They were all props.  The 
concert
was totally staged.  Audience?  Paid extras.  Most of the audio had been
recorded before a single image went to celuloid.

Good movie?  You bet, I loved it.  Angry that although I worked for free 
as an
intern and got not a mention on fhe credits?  Sure was.  Hell, getting to
bullshit with Adrian Belew on a daily basis sure is sweet, though.  Adrian 
is
truely a nice guy, as were most of the musicians.  My one regret was that I
was young and spent most of the time stymied.

On the down side, I hate most of her new album (some loop content, as 
usual).
Couldn't get Bright Red out of my CD player, but half the songs on Life on 
a
String are unlistenable to me.  Sigh.  That's just me though, as I hated 
most
of Strange Angels, and others here liked it and didn't like Bright Red.  
I'm
going to take the stuff I like from both albums and make one good one 
called
Strange String.

BTW, while were're on the King Crimson topic, I LOVE Level Five and also 
their
"techno" album bpm&m.  (loop content on both) bpm&m is worth it for the
cartoons on the linernotes alone.  Behind the CD is an illustration of a 
VERY
"fly" Robert Fripp.  You'll have to get it to see what I mean.  VERY funny.
