King Crimson - Islands (2026 Elemental Mixes)

Islands is the 1971 fourth album from King Crimson, which expanded on their improvisational jazz leanings infused with their progressive rock style.

One of the highlights of the King Crimson 50th anniversary editions to date has been King Crimson producer David Singleton’s series of Elemental Mixes. He uses the full spectrum of available studio sessions for each album to produce very different takes on the familiar songs and pieces. For King Crimson fans, Islands – 2026 David Singleton Elemental Mix is both a compelling standalone listening experience and an essential companion to the original album — offering fresh insight into the sessions, a renewed immediacy to the performances, and a rare opportunity to hear this distinctive work from a radically different angle.

This heavyweight 200g vinyl edition produced by Panegyric Records in 2026.
