The Anekdoten CD "Chapters" is brilliant progressive rock in the classic tradition of older King Crimson. This is an excellent collection of music from four Anekdoten releases, all of which are very hard to come by and usually expensive in the U.S. It is dark and brooding with great use of Mellotron keyboards and other instruments such as Cello, Flugelhorn and Cornet! I would highly suggest this album to any fan of King Crimson, as well as classic older style progressive rock(Trust me--this band is NO Mars Volta or any other band currently touted as being progressive when they belong in the "Psychedelia" or "Avant Garde" section). The first disc is outstanding, concentrating on the two most recent releases from 2003 and 2007. The second disc concentrates on Demo recordings from their second release from 1995 as well as two tracks from the first release in 1993. There are also two new Demo tracks from 2006 sessions and mixed down for the release of "Chapters". The "Demo" recordings all sound professionally done, of course. This is an outstanding collection of material any fan of Anekdoten or King Crimson would be proud to own!Read full review
