He'd suspended his career as a live performer in 2009 after a legal battle with a former record label spiralled out of control. But it was finally resolved in 2013 - and Fripp announced he'd formed a new Crimson lineup featuring drummers Gavin Harrison, Bill Reiflin and Pat Mastelotto alongside Levin, saxophonist Mel Collins and Jakko Jakszyk on guitar. They recently completed a US tour.

Levin tells Something Else: "I am very impressed, yet again, with Robert's musical vision. Some of his ideas for this lineup seemed like they'd be tough to translate into a successful show.

"But, as has happened before, I found that having faith in his vision of what King Crimson is paid off with music that's not like the last lineup and a show that's a bit radical in ways - truly 'progressive' progressive rock."
