Interesting.  I like the originals better. Too much Mellotron  
dissonance in the revised pitch bend...

In Epitaph I wonder why Fripp left out that High E note... Having it  
there seems to cap the crescendo and transition nice into the Em  
gloomy chord of the verse... The new version offers no such transition  
note... seems too abrupt.
