Audiophile DVD-A & CD, A Scarcity of Miracles is a "King Crimson ProjeKct" featuring Robert Fripp, Jakko Jakszyk and Mel Collins!
A Scarcity Of Miracles is a significant addition to the extended King Crimson family. A sonically rich and detailed collection of surprisingly accessible and heartfelt songs which boasts a seductive, widescreen production.
With the critical acclaim lavished on the 2010 King Crimson 40th Anniversary releases, a sample of "21st Century Schizoid Man" forming the central part of Kanye West's "Power" single & Robert Fripp's guest appearance on Nick Cave's Grinderman's "Super Heathen Child" in 2010, cover versions of King Crimson songs featuring on recent recordings by artists as diverse as Jazz singer Kurt Elling & folk music stars The Unthanks, it's fair to say that interest in all things Crimson has probably not been at such a high point for many years.
Echoing elements of King CrimsonÂ’s unique vocabulary, while presenting a unified group sound far removed from anything previously released under the KC name, A Scarcity Of Miracles manages to be both intimate and epic, complex yet immediate.
Honouring a great bandÂ’s legacy, whilst undoubtedly taking it somewhere new, ASOM is the Crimson related album your wife and ballad loving friend might just fall in love with!
