Jakko Jakszyk, Robert Fripp and Mel Collins to release
new King Crimson ProjeKct

DGM/Inner Knot Records announce the upcoming release of A Scarcity of
Miracles, a new release in the King Crimson ProjeKct series. The
ProjeKct features Robert Fripp, Jakko Jakszyk and Mel Collins with a
rhythm section of Tony Levin and Gavin Harrison.

A Scarcity of Miracles will be released on May 30, 2011. Information
and merchandise for the release can be found at www.dgmlive.com.

When Fripp (King Crimson founder and guitarist) and Jakszyk (Level 42)
got together in February 2009 neither expected that their initial
sessions of guitar-only improvisations would result in a full-blown
album, or that it would ultimately be deemed to be a King Crimson
ProjeKct. As the material from those first sessions developed, it was
obviously becoming much wider in scope and scale. The arrival of sax
player and former King Crimson member, Collins, added further colour
and texture to the emerging songs. The line-up was completed with the
addition of bassist Levin and Porcupine Tree’s drummer, Harrison (both
members of the 2008 incarnation of King Crimson), adding their parts to
the material in their respective studios.

What had begun as an exchange of ideas grew into an album of heartfelt
songs, an album that is immediately accessible on first hearing but
reveals fresh detail and depth with each subsequent play, as one might
expect from musicians of this calibre.

A Scarcity of Miracles (A King Crimson ProjeKct) features artwork by PJ
Crook and will be released simultaneously as a CD/DVD-A package, a
200gm limited edition vinyl album with a gatefold sleeve and a standard
CD. The CD/DVD-A pack features the album mixed in 5.1 surround sound,
the album in high definition 24/96 stereo, an album’s worth of
alternate mixes, improvisations from the original sessions and the
video for the title track, along with the CD album in a slipcase.

Many fans have read about the evolution of this King Crimson ProjeKct
through Fripp’s widely read online diary at www.dgmlive.com - where he
has updated progress on the recording, mixing and mastering of the
album at regular intervals.

“JFC [Jaksyk, Fripp, Collin] is a superb album. I have not heard stereo
quite like this since the early 1970s, and much of that was not of this
quality, ” writes Fripp in his December 15th entry to his online diary.
“JFC is one of my favouritist albums, of those where I am a determining
element. It has the Crimson gene, but is not quite KC [King Crimson].”
