"When the released Live Around The World in in 98 I was slightly dissapointed that so many good stuff was not added to the cd's. I mean Flower Power was already released but not even one song from that album, so it letted me guess that this were all recordings from previous tours. Anyway there were some good songs on it anyway, but then this year they released Meet The Flower Kings. Absolutely awsome CD. Especially since it carries all their epics, and mostly it are the epics that are my favorite songs of this band. They made very very beautifull short sings too though. Compassion, Ghost Of Red Clouds or Corruption for example, but that all falls into none compared to Humannizzimo, Stardust We Are or Unfold The Future, and there are more songs that make me drew over and over again, that are not respresented on this recording, but what they did here is a really good effort. And Im happy with the cd. I always thought I wanted to hear a track as Humannizzimo with the Flower Kings now, with the recent line up, cos I imagined it would make the song more powerfull, and I was only close to what the song is actually sounding now. Really really good. I got addicted to the song right away, and soon to the other stuff too. So all in all I cannot agree with the previous review that songs are a mess or whatever, I think they did a fine job live. And as you once been to see a gig of the boys then you know that sometimes songs can end up in quite some impovisational escapades, but to me thats more a proof of amazing craftmanship than of failure. You should see King Crimson playing live."
