King Crimson: Lizard (2025 Mix / CD) [Blu-ray]

The complete recording sessions of King Crimson’s extraordinary Lizard on CD/Blu-Ray.

The Blu-Ray features all new mixes of the album in Dolby Atmos, 5.1 DTS-HD MA 24/96 Surround & 24/96 Hi-Res Stereo by Steven Wilson / All new Elemental Mixes of the whole album in 24/192 Hi-Res Stereo by David Singleton / The 30th anniversary remaster in 24/96 / The complete recording sessions from September 1970 in 24/48. The CD includes the 2025 Steven Wilson album mixes and a selection of Elemental Mixes

Presented in a replica mini-vinyl style packaging with booklet including photos and sleevenotes from King Crimson biographer Sid Smith.

When Steven Wilson first mixed Lizard in stereo and 5.1 with Robert Fripp in 2009, he commented: “For me Lizard has always been an album that was too big for stereo to contain. I’ve always felt that if presented in the right way, I could make a case for this being the most experimental rock record ever made. It’s extraordinary what they’re doing on this album. In terms of fusing free-jazz with progressive rock for me there’s almost no parallel.”

Now, in 2025, Steven has returned to that album and the new mixes merely serve to confirm that analysis.
