Happy With What You Have To Be Happy With is King Crimson's latest lesson in how to be shaken, stirred and stunned all in one sitting. Following their sell-out tour with TOOL in 2001, the band have been busy in the studio recapturing the clamour and the calm, and writing new material for the big album release: The Power to Believe (Feb 2003).
Happy, the new EP, introduces two momentous new tracks from the album (produced by Machine), samples classic Crimson material, and is craftily fastened together with haunting haikus. There is also a hidden track to further intrigue Crimson devotees.
Featuring Robert Fripp (guitar), Adrian Belew (guitar, vocals), Trey Gunn (warr guitar, rubber bass, fretless warr) and Pat Mastelotto (drums), the EP has been recorded and engineered by Ken Latchney at StudioBelew with additional production mastering by David Singleton at DGM.
Released in early October 2002 by Sanctuary Records, fans and new listeners are guaranteed to be Happy With.
