LIVE IN SCOTTSDALE - ON TOUR WITH KING CRIMSON

On the opening track, called Andromeda, we get a two-folded impression, in a fashion really suitable to the inclusion of the name King Crimson along with the CGT moniker: we are simultaneously brushed by the electric fuzziness combined with cerebral precission of the King and also by the sheer melodic phrasing elegance of the Trio.

Then comes four less impressive and shorter pieces (still very good ones, though) being Punta Patri my personal favorite among these. And last, but in no way least, the CGT treat us with their own cover rendition of the classic Pink Floyd suite Echoes. Even when this is never going to replace the original in the heart of any prog- or Floyd fan, is a really enjoyable (if brief) summary shortened to a half of the side-long duration that this composition reaches in Pink Floyd's Meddle. It begins with a nice exposition of the unforgettable Gilmour sliding guitar lines, evolving to the middle jamming section, and then to the randomly noisy atonal improvisation prior to the final recapitulation.

A nice instrumental affair presented by three talented musicians.
