21st Century Schizoid Band and Crimson ProjeKct
The 2000s also saw the reunion of former King Crimson members from the band's first four albums. The 21st Century Schizoid Band (fronted by Jakko Jakszyk and featuring Ian McDonald, Mel Collins, Peter Giles and Michael Giles – the latter later replaced by Ian Wallace) toured and played material from the band's 1960s and 1970s catalogue.
In September 2008, a line-up called Crimson Project with Adrian Belew, Tony Levin, Pat Mastelotto, Eddie Jobson and Eric Slick (from the Adrian Belew Power Trio) played a short set at a Russian festival. In 2011-2, a band consisting of Belew, Levin, Mastelotto, Julie Slick and Tobias Ralph (both from the Adrian Belew Power Trio) and Markus Reuter (from Stick Men with Levin and Mastelotto) played King Crimson material live, latterly under the name Crimson ProjeKct.

The hills and waters o’er,
When a band of exiles moored their bark
On the wild New England shore.”

A mole cinque-spotted, like the crimson drops
I’ th’ bottom of a cowslip.”
