USA - 1841 Broardway ATLANTIC RECORDS - SD 7263
CLEAN ... absolutely 100% 1973 first pressing of the fantastic "Larks Tongue In Aspic" the only Crimson to include Jamie Muir who adds layers of percussions, and tweeky sound effects that give the album an extra edge...plus it doesn't hurt to have the band in top peaking performance...Fripp's guitar work is nothing short of amazing...
LARK TONGUES IN ASPIC opens up as the most creative era of this band. It also differs stylistically from the other major progressive albums of the year 1973, as it is more avant-garde and aggressive than average symphonic prog releases usually are. The opener "Larks' Tongues in Aspic part one" starts with a beautiful long layer of percussions, sound effects, and bells. A very aggressive and powerful riff emerges from this sea of calmness, and two jazzy structured themes follow it. Bill Bruford's drumming accompanied with Jamie Muir's busy percussions are amazing! The composition continues with Cross's solo violin, and he does some patterns from a violin number "Larks' Ascension" which was also an exceptional concert number in the bands repertoire during the bands tours. "Book of Saturday" is a short a beautiful ballad, which has amazing backward guitars from Mr. Fripp! The studio track is much better than what they could evr duplicate in concert ..."Exiles" is also a fine studio track, featuring keys and fun fake fade-out in the end of it. "Easy Money" sporting a very memorable melody incorporates a very rich tapestry of percussions and noises. "The Talking Drum" is an intro for "Larks' Tongues in Aspic part two", and this coupling also developed with a interesting treatment on the stage. The studio version is enhanced to create an interesting fake echo for David's violin solo at the end of "Larks Tongue In Aspect 2". All said a classic masterpiece that no serios progressive collection can be without.
