Level Five

[Machine Translation] "Nouveau metal" Crimson, live interim report album. Originally sold at the North American tour in the fall of 2001, it was later officially released as a mini-album (EP). This is a commemorative work that was produced based on the sound sources recorded during the North American tour in the summer of 2001, which strongly promoted "Nouveau Metal", and is the first public release of new songs (Dangerous Curve) and (Level Five) that will later be included in the studio recorded version of "The Power to Believe". The title track ("Level Five") is a popular song that is frequently performed live, as is "Sun and Fear Part 5". The title track ( Level Five ) is a popular song that is still performed frequently at live shows, and the performance of Construction of Light ( Construction of Light ), which was a difficult song to play live even with the performance ability of the double duo due to its complicated structure, is also a masterpiece. Although it is a mini-album (EP), the recording time is over 40 minutes. Although it is a live compilation with different recording locations, the quality is high, and it is a hidden masterpiece whose popularity among fans has not waned yet.

"ヌーヴォ・メタル"クリムゾン、中間報告ライヴ・アルバム。元々は2001年秋の北米ツアー会場で販売され、後にミニ・アルバム(EP)として公式に発売された作品。"ヌーヴォ・メタル"を強く打ち出した2001年夏の北米ツアーで収録された音源をもとに制作され、後に『ザ・パワー・トゥ・ビリーヴ』にスタジオ・レコーディング版で収録される新曲「デンジャラス・カーヴ」、「レベル・ファイヴ」が初めて公開された記念すべき作品。タイトル曲「レベル・ファイヴ」は「太陽と戦慄 パート5」にあたり現在もライヴで頻繁に演奏される人気曲。また、複雑な構成のためライヴではダブル・デュオの演奏能力をもってしても難関曲となっていた「コンストラクション・オブ・ライト」の決定版とも言って良い名演も見逃せない。ミニ・アルバム(EP)とはいえ収録時間は40分以上。収録場所が異なるライヴ・コンピながらクオリティは高く、ファンの人気も未だ衰えない隠れ名盤でもある。
