(3 out of 5 stars)

"John Wetton has played bass and sung with groups as diverse as Roxy Music and Uria Heep but is perhaps best known for his work with Asia. From 1972-1974 he was a member of King Crimson where Palmer-James began adding the words to music mostly composed by Wetton and guitarist Robert Fripp. This disc is a fine collection of demos and live versions of some of the tunes that the pair have had a hand in over the years. The earlier King Crimson demos consist of little more than Wetton on piano and vocals,intended as guides for Palmer-James to write his lyrics to. For Crimson fans it is of course more than worthwile to hear these early and very basic takes on what would become classic material.
The disc provides an unexpected degree of satisfaction in it's overall feel and style and certainly enhances the reputations of both gentlemen. The later live material in particular is very good."
