Yes indeed, the mellotron drenched Court Of The Crimson King by King Crimson is, after 40 years, still a thing of beauty ...from the dynamic complex crunching layers to the sweeping climactic atmospherics, the dramatics are in full bloom everywhere in this spectacular work of art ...
Almost unarguably the first, most quintessential progressive-rock album ever, Court virtually came out of nowhere, and almost single-handedly defined "prog-rock" at its infancy. Taking "heavy rock" and "experimental psychedelics" to their extremes, and making use of some of the first truly textured "atmospheres" (fuzz paranoia in Schizoid Man, dreamy surreality in Wind, etc.), Fripp & Co. put progressive-rock on the map with this flawless, in-your-face album. In addition to introducing us to Fripp's schizo-paranoid madness, you can hear how much Bruford learned from Michael Giles. Court belongs to a small pantheon of albums -- an absolutely must-have.
