    I can see them delaying it further just so it doesn't get lost in the shadow of thrakbox though as it will likely look a little insubstantial next to that...

    Man, I am really wrestling with purchasing this box. I am a collector and I love KC but Thrak never really took my breath away. Loved the show when they visited Austin but... will there be enough inside this box to excite me? Do I need to buy this?

    I agree. My gold disc in the metal box rarely gets an outing, but the live outfit were exceptional.

    Thought about it for a few days, and I think I'm curious enough to pick up the stand alone remixed CD/DVD, since Fripp seems pleased with the new mix - but I think that's it. I don't know if I can take that many hours of Thrakking.

    I would not at all be surprised to see the Amazon price drop as the release date approaches. However, Burning Shed is damned reliable...my money is that with BS you'll have the product within a week of availability. Amazon might hit one of those "we'll have to notify you when the product is ready to ship" snags.
    If you're actually reading this then chances are you already have my last album but if NOT and you're curious:

    Okay, I ordered it. Loved this lineup and I think the price is very good for the amount and content offered. Plus DGM offers layaway!! That was the clincher right there.

    Very much looking forward to this. I haven't ordered any of the other box releases so I'm very psyched!

    Ah, but Jurassic THRAK is as good as "We'll Keep That One, a Nick," from the LTIA box in shedding light on the recording sessions, and The Vicar's ATTAKcTHRAK is also very, very good. So that plus the two-disc AzteKc THRAK and a new srereo mix on CD makes 5/12 CDs worthwhile/new before you even get to the surround, high res and live video content.

    And fwiw, the sonic upgrades are superb....the MAX VROOM sounds way better, for example.

    I think they really got it right in terms of picking the right selections to paint a picture of this band without going overboard on the live show front and making it a 20+ disc set. This and was,after sll, very much song based so, while there is some improv, how many versions of "One Time," "People," "walking on Air" or even "Dinosaur" or "VROOM". do we trawls need?

    I think the answer to that question is in this very box.

    heh... yeah, if there were a coupla full concert vidz I might bite but I don't need 16 discs of audio which is all too samey from disc to disc

    hopefully I can get BR II from this box somewhere in the next 10 years

    Why is it whenever someone mentions an artist that was clearly progressive (yet not the Symph weenie definition of Prog) do certain people feel compelled to snort "thats not Prog" like a whiny 5th grader?

    Not quite.

    Discs 1&4: previously unreleased.

    Discs 2&3: previously released. 5: new version of a previous release. 6: scattered mix of both, and most fans won't have the already-released stuff.

    Discs 7-12: three shows' worth of sets, one all-new, two previously released in part.

    Not a bad mix, I say.

    seems there is a couple of concert videos...

    
"1) A complete concert filmed live at The Warfield Theatre, San Francisco from 1995 - previously unreleased - with all footage newly transferred from the original tapes, mastered for high definition and 5.1 Surround Sound newly mixed by David Singleton from the multi-track tapes of the show



    2) The live footage from the 1995 Live in Japan performance - all footage newly transferred from the original tapes, mastered for High Definition with the original surround sound remastered by David Singleton & Neil Wilkes.

    So does this mean only two more albums to go in the series ? Beat and Perfect Pair ?

    Ie, the two albums put out in 2000 and 2003 are not scheduled for re release ?

    I thought they were including power to believe in the initial slate of things. and then there was talk of a special construkction of light set using live improvs to build a whole new version or something.

    those are both on the BluRay 2 disc right? that's the only one I would buy the box for... the BR II will show up somewhere on the used market in years to come and I'll snag it then

    Finally ordered my copy. I won't open it until Christmas (I did the same thing with the Larks' box), but I am looking forward to it. I've always enjoyed this incarnation, and it will be interesting to see how its all put together.

    I would buy it in a heartbeat if available separately. The Argentina DVDs are good but tentative. This one seems far more confident based on the clip.
