I agree although there are some decent tracks on there but alas a few 'skippers', but I presume jbaent was meaning in the sense of how that particular album was put together...

Yes, thats what I meant.

Anyway, I really love the Crimson record, its probably the one that I listen the most. In my humble opinion is very underrated, even by MK himself, many nice tracks there, being "Heart full of holes" one of my favourites.
You might get lucky, now and then

I'd like to point out that I recently discover two cool facts about Kill To Get Crimson:

Yes, and as far as we know, its just Guy and MK right now...

I also expect, like LE, something unexpected, like Guy telling the band will be in London in one week to finish the record... I wish!  ;D

Yes we can wish. But I think that this can take even months.

I don't really see why;  maybe more songs are being rejected so we get the cream of the crop on the album this time.  Or perhaps they are trying harder to achieve perfection or more complicated arrangements.  Personally I think this sounds good - I wouldn't want a record rushed out in a week like the Twisting EP back in '83.

And how great it is that we can get these studio diaries! We are so used to them that it would be cruel to wait an album to be released without previous diaries! Thanks Guy but hurry on :)
