   At least one of their albums is a studio album, namely, Official Bootleg Volume One. If you are referring to an originality -- I doubt they have in their repertoire non-Crimson songs. But, firstly, Ian McDonald is a writer of some King Crimson songs they play, and secondly, the group called Crimson Jazz Trio is already in PA, also with only KC repertoire.

	I just did a quick look, and heard some samples. Not bad at all. The only thing is, do they have any originals, or any studio albums? If not, membership aside, aren't they just a notch up from a tribute band?

	I'm afraid I'm one of those daunted ones referred to in the new criteria- not being computer orientated. Hoprfully someone else will pick them up . Thanks for the suggestion.

	Maybe it just takes very long time to be added, as there's a three person team of band additions, and a huge and constantly growing amount of bands to be added (with priorities I quess). I know by experience that it can be difficult, but let's try to be patient! Maybe by following this procedure would hasten it up: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17363 ?

	I am a little bemused that CJ3 [Crimson Jazz Trio] makes it on to PA, but this band of living prog legends playing legendary material does not. Not that I have anything against CJ3.I love their concept and their playing . I'm just a little surprised ,that's all. Anyone else have any views?

	I have their so-called "Official Bootleg Volume One" (track-list: 1. A Man A City, 2. Catfood, 3. In The Court Of The Crimson King, 4. Formentara (sic!) Lady, 5. Ladies Of The Road, 6. I Talk To The Wind, 7. 21st Century Schizoid Man). Just an excellent album, in my opinion.

	I sure hope they get included. As the current (?) King Crimson line-up doesn't play their old stuff, this band nicely fills the void!

	TO KINGOFBIZZARE: Thanks for your response. It's good that as a Fripp and KC fan you don't have a problem with this band existing alongside KC and Fripp-less . I expect many die-hard KC fans would have some trouble getting passed that. IMO it's exciting for prog fans in general that this band is making a comeback and that it's happening NOW. What I find astonishing is that so few seem to know about them or seem to care, when the band boasts these legend-like artists back together [albeit without Fripp]. I would have thought it was big news in prog circles, but it seems not.

	I haven't heard much of their stuff, but I've liked what I heard (and yes, it was proggy too). I love Fripp, but I'm ok with a sort of Fripp-less Crimson like this. The idea kind of reminds me of The Grandmothers (sort of a reformed early Mothers of Invention), who I also think should be here.

	I've been pushing this band's barrow for some time now and with KC being so popular in general I remain surprised that so few seem to know them or seem interested. Sure, I understand that some Frippofiles may never be able to embrace this band, but here are some reasons why they should be proposed. 1. They are happening now (check out their website) 2. They feature at least 5 of the original or early KC members. 3. They feature material from at least the first 4 groundbreaking KC albums. 4. They are playing better than ever with maturity, hugely improved chops and todays technology. 5. They are adding newly written material as well as playig other stuff (e.g. from members early solo projects and from the ' McDonald and Giles' releases). 6. Jakko Jakszyk does an admirable job on guitar and vocals and is a very skilled musician whose talents seemlessly ease into the band. 7. Their integrity as eminent prog/jazz/session players cannot be questioned 8. 'McDonald and Giles' are also in the Archives. 9. They have at least 2 excellent releases in the DVD' Live in Japan' and the CD 'Pictures of a City- Live in NY' The only negatives I can think of are, of course, no Fripp and they are ,in essence , a reunion band of unfashionably old geezers. So, come on people, try to get into them and don't descriminate. Let's add them to the Archives.
