Description

 









THE GROUP’S DEFINITIVE ALBUM, AND ONE OF THE MOST DARING DEBUT ALBUMS EVER RECORDED BY ANYBODY. AT THE TIME, IT BLEW ALL OF THE PROGRESSIVE/PSYCHEDELIC COMPETITION (THE MOODY BLUES, THE NICE, ETC.) OUT OF THE RUNNING, ALTHOUGH IT WAS ALMOST TOO GOOD FOR THE BAND’S OWN GOOD -- IT TOOK “KING CRIMSON” NEARLY FOUR YEARS TO COME UP WITH A RECORD AS STRONG OR CONCISE. THIS ALBUM IS HIGHLIGHTED BY STRONG SONGWRITING (MOST OF IT FILLED WITH DARK AND DOOM-LADEN VISIONS), THE STRONGEST SINGING OF GREG LAKE’S ENTIRE CAREER, AND FRIPPS’ GUITAR PLAYING THAT STRANGELY MIXED ELEGANT CLASSICAL, HENDRIX-LIKE ROCK EXPLOSIONS, AND JAZZ NOODLING. AN ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT ALBUM THAT ONLY SEEMS TO GROW IN STATURE WITH EACH LISTEN. ROBERT FRIPP & GANG UNWITTINGLY CREATED WHAT IS NOW A MASTERPIECE FOR PROG ROCK FANS. THE TITLE TRACK IS BOTH HAUNTING AND BEAUTIFUL IN ITS DYNAMICS –––– WE ARE OFFERING HERE A BEAUTIFUL, HARDLY PLAYED UK PRESSING WITH GATEFOLD COVER. MATRIX NUMBER IN DEAD WAX : ILPS 9111 A2 / ILPS 9111 B4 ...
