About the recording:
Larks' Tongues In Aspic is one of the best and most unique albums in King Crimson's catalogue. The sound of the title track is slightly avant-garde with touches of hard rock, psychedelia and jazz. The title track is split into two parts on this album, and the band would add more parts to this piece on later releases in their career, but none of the later additions live up to the creativity of this original version. The remaining tracks are a sublime mix of prog rock, intense hard rock and jazz influenced tracks that include vocals, unlike the title track. Any music lover (not only a prog lover) will be satisfied with this masterpiece. Maybe "In The Court Of The Crimson King" is a strange masterpiece (as said Pete Townshend) and "In the wake of Poseidon" a kind of photocopy. Maybe "Lizard" is an admirable effort to spread their sound into other limits, and "Islands" a comfortable paradise of truly great music. But with this new group, formed by ex-yes drummer Bill Bruford, bassist and singer John Wetton, Jaime Muir on astonishing percusives and, of course, Mr.Fripp, is when the band find the definitive sound, the sound of a new era, the sound of King Crimson. Between killer heavy metal and sophisticated chamber music. Forget all the rock scene before and salute the greatest band of the early 1970s, without any doubt. Overall, this is one of the most satisfying and intense listens King Crimson ever released, true art in music, and comes to you very highly recommended indeed!!
