Pieces Of The Sky (Remastered & Expanded) - Emmylou Harris

Advantages: It's King Crimon - what more must I say?
Disadvantages: well, not really keen on Elephant Talk

...There is something ethereal and occasionally ephemeral about music and to some it is as necessary as air and to others as good as superfluous. At times it moves us and at other times it leaves us cold. With Discipline my first listen occurred upon returning home from university and sitting at home in the front room with the CD on repeat and I thought “this is good but it’s rather repetitive.” At this point I was only a minor King Crimson fan and not so well versed as I would become. I returned back to university and began to listen to Discipline once again only to wonder what planet I inhabited when I thought that Discipline sounded all the same.

The band themselves appear in the background, with Dickinson holding a brain (a nod to a previous album 'Piece of Mind'), and McBrain dressed in 'Aces High' flight gear. The sky includes a metallic-looking 'Saturn' spinning, comets, and fighter planes. In the far background, lightning hits a mountain top, creating a prism of light that forms a 'pyramid' shape. Almost all shops and restaurants are named after a Maiden track or album, and almost all images reference tracks or albums too. It is fantastic to behold, and will keep you interested for a while!
