Thank you very much for that. Wonderful track!
At first I didn't quite know what to make of it, but repeated listens made me realise how much was going on there all the time. Absolutely beautiful!
Can't wait for the album.

Cool track. Hate to say it, but the video would be a lot cooler with a younger band

That is one of the most boring music videos I've ever seen. Although I guess it matches the music...

Hey, the video itself is nice! And I was surprised, 'cause I was expecting a more "brutal" release from Crimson, after The Power to Belive. Don't get me wrong, this was a good surprise!

It's rather like hard Kenny G -- if there could or should be such a thing.

I won't be buying this album, sorry.

Reminds me of something you'd hear on a smooth jazz station.

I'm kind of disappointed with this video, but perhaps the remainder of the album will be much more satisfactory.

Interesting. I didn't like Heartbeat when I first heard it. I'll withhold judgement until I hear the rest of the album, but I will need to preview it first before I'd buy it.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I must say I'm glad they're separating this from the proper King Crimson canon. This is not what King Crimson should sound like in 2011.

The video I posted was edited; I’ve updated my original post with the full video.

The full video is still incredibly cheesy, although I've grown to really like this song. I'm now excited for this album to be released. It's amazing what repeated listens can do.

I didn't watch the video in the first place but I enjoy the song and will definitely get this album.

Wonderfull Album, so interesting how you can suddently draw lines all the way back to very early Crimson, with this more acustic aproach, horns flutes and all that. Stuff we havent had since RED.

Have to agree that the vocal has a Cheesy feel to it, but the more i listen, the less it effects the overall picture.

Prog is whatevey you want it to be. So dont diss other peoples prog, and they wont diss yours

I bought it yesterday. Now on my second listen, and it is a very good album. I just love the jazzy melodies and grooves, and Fripp's gorgeous ambient soundscapes.

I'll review it after a few more listens, but this is a four star album at the moment.
