Featuring Adrian Belew / Robert Fripp / Trey Gunn / Pat Mastelotto, this three CD set draws together a collection of studio and live recordings of King Crimson as a double duo. Released at the end of 2002, Happy With What You Have To Be Happy With - featuring mostly short tracks this song-centred mini-album acted as an appetiser for The Power To Believe (2003). Recorded a year earlier, Level Five (2001), was issued as a tour CD and only available to concert attendees, with subsequent limited editions available from the band’s website and in Japan before being released more widely in 2008. A live album consisting of three lengthy previously unrecorded instrumentals alongside The ConstruKction Of Light and Deception Of The Thrush plus what was, originally, a hidden bonus track is a wonderful document of that line-up’s live power. A further example of that live power came with EleKtriK - With ‘The Power To Believe’ released and greeted enthusiastically by fans and critics alike, King Crimson spent much of the next four months of 2003 performing the material with lengthy tours of the USA, Japan and Europe. 2003 would prove to be the final touring cycle for the double duo, when the line-up played its last concert in Mexico City in November of that year.
