    Here's a short review Sid Smith did of the album. https://sidsmith.blogspot.com/2009/08/ra-quintet.html

    King Crimson Songbook Volume I - Crimson Jazz Trio

    Their brilliant rendition of I Talk to the Wind absolutely blew my mind and took my attention off the rest of the album. I have listened to that track over and over.

    Mike Oldfield - Amarok (about half of it anyway- unfortunately I hit the eject button by accident while trying to turn the sound down a bit)
    Yes - Talk (30th anniversary edition- if it wasn't for the boom bash drumming it might be their best or one of their very best post 70s albums but as it is it's still great)

    Boom bash? I have to assume you mean State of Play. I think that is the most brilliant song on the album. Give me boom bash. But in my opinion, a drummer can serve no better purpose than to make a band sound good. He achieved that on Drama and never did better after that.

    It's difficult for me to explain the drum sound. Maybe part of it is the production.

    I LOVE that album! The Crimson songs work so well as jazz numbers, and they are all three so good, every note. The second album is good, but not as good as the first, IMO.

    What makes the 30th anniv. edition different? I have the original CD, but really never listened to it that much, but it may have aged well - I think I'll put it on!

    It's a 4 cd box set. One disc of single edits, instrumentals and demos, and two discs of a live show.

    Talk is a pretty good album! I enjoyed it. Does anyone know - did Anderson write most of the melodies, or was it split between him and Rabin? Because the album is a lot stronger melodically than pretty much everything that came after, except maybe some of Fly From Here, which came from old material anyway. IMO. They should have been able to get out a couple of semi-successful singles from the album, except people were probably just too into The Spin Doctors or Spice Girls or whatever to care.

    Apparently it's been remastered. It also features liner notes by Jerry Ewing (editor of Prog magazine). I got my copy through the Laser's Edge.

    From what I understand it was mostly written (and largely recorded) by Trevor Rabin but I have to do more research on that. It has the entire 90125/ BG lineup so that might explain it's focus on strong melody. There's no bad (or even just ok) tracks on it imo. Not even "where will you be." Unfortunately, it only sold maybe 150-200,000 copies in the US.

    I've been listening to Santana, Zbop! I ignored all of the Santana discography after the 70s. This album was recommended. It's pretty good. Despite the corny hit song, it's mostly scorching guitar, and latin percussion up the ass. There's even some Hammond Organ thrown in. Good album.

    I am with you on the drums being a weak link on Talk - White certainly suffers from the Rabin "big boom" sound on his kit, especially the bass drum - and it absolutely doesn't help that White is not being asked to do much at all....

    I had given up on White as a creative force from this point forward until the Levin Torn White album
