One of the great Wagnerian conductors. What makes this extra special in Knappertbusch's oeuvre, is that it's a combination of a decent "studio" sound (not a live recording), a great orchestra and the top wagnerian singers of the day. One of the best Wagner 'greatest hits' disc's ever.

King Crimson - Red (40th Anniversary Series disc) Stereo rip 24bit/96khz
Rip by DVDAExplorer for Mac | FLAC (Tracks), No CUE, No LOG, Scans | 854MB
Progressive Rock | Label: Panegyric KCSP7 | Rapidshare

Rip taken from the DVD disc in the 40th Anniversary package. For Hi-Res-Stereo lovers, the MLP 24bit/96khz original album in Stereo, original mix. A seminal prog rock album.
Released in 1974 after King Crimson had “ceased to exist”, Red remains a remarkably powerful document of a group quitting at the top of its game. The grinding crunch of Red appears to anticipate much of the heavy metal scene whilst the epic Starless brings together several strands of the group’s musical history.

Rare CD!

The story is this -- sometime in 1966, producer Tom Wilson persuaded (probably with the offer of some quick bucks) Sun Ra and members of his band, and the members of the Blues Project, to lay down 35 minutes of music for a Batman and Robin album credited to "The Sensational Guitars of Dan & Dale." It was a quickie exploitation effort sponsored by some toy company in New Jersey (where these sessions were cut) intended to sell some dance music for discotheques and parties by cashing in on the craze surrounding the Batman television program. The album, showing the Caped Crusader and his partner swinging down on bat-ropes, has been a denizen of dollar-record bins and nostalgia shows for decades, and just happens to feature some of the hottest musicians in New York City.
