King Crimson

[exciar28]

I know it's a burning shame that I listened to King Crimson a few months ago FOR THE FIRST TIME (a shame explodes). Of course I've heard of King Crimson from a long time ago but I haven't got a chance to listen to.

I remember that huge impact when I listen to 21st Century Schizoid Man. It was a shock to me In The Court Of The Crimson King was made in 1969. What have we achived in about 30 years since In The Court Of The Crimson King released, I thought.

The latest one "The Power to Believe" is definately in my top 3 of the year.



highly reccomended!



the first KC that blew my mind was "Red"

 

[xfer]

I still haven't really listened to King Crimson.

No question that that particular song and much of Larks and Red remain among the heaviest music ever recorded, but Fripp has continued to epxand and experiment ever since, in essence personifying the idea of progressive music.

I still haven't really gotten into Larks yet. Red, Islands, and of course ITCOTCK are all marvolous

Larks Tongues in Aspic is my third favorite album ever. I wish Jamie Muir stayed in the band for the two following albums instead of running off to a monastery, though .

The Power to Believe rules, too, but I haven't felt like listening to it for a few months.

 

[TheNewChupe]

i, too, need to listen to them.

 

[coelacanth_M]

what would be a good starter king crimson album?
i've always wanted to listen to his stuff, but wasn't sure what to start with.

 

[AndICried]

Everything I've heard on In the Court of the King Crimson is verily amazment.

must buy that album + recommend to everyone.

Also, Discipline is meant to be <3ly <3ly <3ly.

 

[capeda]

This may sound sacriligious, but I think Schizoid Man is my least favorite track on ITCotCK. The calm songs are the reason to buy the album! The flute solos, the improvised ending to Moonchild, and just wow. Very relaxing album.

 

[Demonspell]

No need to apologize...Epitaph is one of the most majestic songs ever recorded, and the title track and I Talk To The Wind are beautiful as well.

 

[exciar28]

yes, I Talk To The Wind are so beautiful. That beautiful flutes! Of course all songs of In The Court Of The Crimson King are awesome.

 

[Veils_of_Cerpintaxt]

Yes! Epitaph is the best song on ITCOTCK.

What's everyone's opinion on the 80's albums? I personally think they are some of the best music made during that decade. Elephant Talk is my jam.

 

[LuminousAether]

I like Starless the Bible Black and Lark's Tongue in Aspic the best...

Discipline is pretty good, but does it remind anyone else of The Talking Heads? It does to me at least...

And the best music made during the 80s was Depeche Mode... just to get that out in the open.

 

[bang]

my fave is actually in the wake of poseidon. mmmmm

 

[AndICried]

Discipline is pretty good, but does it remind anyone else of The Talking Heads? It does to me at least...

*dum* *dum* Psycho killer *dum* *dum* Qu’est que c’est *dum* fa fa fa fa, fa fa fa fa fa, far better.

note: *dum* = the bass crotchets.

 

[IanDork107]

the first KC that blew my mind was "Red"

Yes.

 

[Demonspell]

This just in from www.elephant-talk.com - Trey Gunn has left King Crimson.

 

[azal]

yeah I just saw that.



sucks the balls.

 

[capeda]

I was just thinking the other day that I would prefer a real bassist to a touch-guitarist. I've really grown to dislike the sound of warr guitars (I still like the Chapman Stick sounds, but I hate playing them). Maybe Tony Levin will come back? Probably wishful thinking.
