Stormy Mundy Selection (Occasional Series - Acts of Random Archive Rummaging)
This video is an edited extract from the latest Stormy Mundy Selection, full version featured on dgmlive.com/tour-dates/2824
This special version of Islands by Alex Mundy features Boz Burrell’s original vocal from King Crimson's fourth studio album skillfully mixed into a 2018 gig in Lucca, Italy, where the song followed the Lizard Suite and preceded Indiscipline. As beautiful as Boz’s vocal is, he wasn’t happy singing it in concert, which may explain why it received relatively few live airings during Crimson's UK tour in 1971 and none at all the following year.
Spooling forward four decades, when it came to performing Crimson repertoire featuring Keith Tippett’s contributions, Jeremy Stacey, having no recourse to sheet music, had to sit and patiently transcribe the pianist’s work while listening to the relevant track. As can be easily heard, the result of his painstaking work has certainly paid off with this sensitive reading and highly personal interpretation of one of Crimson’s most touching ballads.
