I stopped counting the years ive been waiting for this, actually no, those years are so long gone i forgot about them ! I mean I stopped counting the years where stopped hoping altogether ! So yeah, this is THE BEST
It's not anymore a mysterious secret club of amazing music :D but yeah I'm glad also, and it's awesome that millions of people are now exposed to the mighty King Crimson, and it's great that KC is still relevant in 2022.
Will never forget seeing this live in Dallas , 1973. By the end of the song the violin bow had partitially shredded and had the image of a horses tail waving on each stroke.
@@StephenGrew Absolutely, Stephen - a musical family. A global musical family. That's all challenging music you've mentioned. But once you get it, it can help you through the course of your life.
This is the debut album with the band for four of its five members at the time. And Bruford is one of two percussionists here and isn't the one playing the talking drum. Just a little perspective. But yes, a stand out album by a stand out KC lineup.
Some of the best build-up to a thunderous climax ever, and how the cacophony at the end transitions immediately into Larks' Tongues In Aspic Part 2 is incredible. I love this song, an extremely underrated track.
The live Crim has been known to launch into Larks' II directly, but I've always felt that without the Talking Drum intro, something was lacking. It was lesser without this.
The build-up is absolutely awesome, gaining volume with each passage until everything’s in the red right before the squealing segue into LTIAII. That volume-swelling effect unfortunately got lost somewhat in Steven Wilson’s remix, which I suspect is this version. I recommend the 30th Anniversary remaster of the album, which is ddddyyyynnnnaaaaammmmiiicccc!!! Played that in the car one night when this song played and it was so effective that I kept checking if I was being followed.
Robert’s playing on Larks is something that will take me years to be able to cover properly. He’s so damn articulate and yet at the same time chaotic/ferocious with his playing.
it was 1977, we were travelling on the subway in Buenos Aires with friends listening to the Talking Drum & Larks' Tongue in Aspic through a cassette player. I'll never forget the feeling of sharing this music with them on the way to a park to exchange records with other collectors.
Es increíble lo intelectual que resulta este disco en cuanto a experimentación, sonido, estética...no sólo para esa época, sino que sigue vigente al día de hoy como una joya de vanguardia musical del siglo XX, ante tanta basura pop y música pasatista, incluyendo en ella buena parte de lo que hicieron estos excelentes músicos más tarde. Algo sólo comparable a Bartok, Stockhausen, Schoemberg y pocos más.
@@BillJohnson-r1ti believe it's "Thanks, Tool", Tool had a great influence on King Crimson. I had the opposite path, found out about Tool because of King Crimson. Loved them both since then
I listened to this song over and over again when I was 17 and read Lord of the rings for the first time. When I listen again I am straight back to Middle Earth and the fantastic travel.

Iba pasando por un local del Persa Bio Bio y escuché por primera vez esta obra y me di cuenta que tenia perdida la mitad de mi vida sin haberlos escuchado
I first heard this track live at the Rainbow Theatre, 22nd Dec. 1972! It hasn’t lost any of its explosive energy and sheer musical brilliance! Long live KC (and Larks Tongues in Aspic).
You should try listening to this whole album from beginning to end - if I were you I’d make sure it’s the version as originally released; the expanded edition is great too, but for your first listen to the whole album you should really hear it as it was released in 1973, beginning with “Larks’ Tongues in Aspic Pt. I” and ending with “Larks’ Tongues in Aspic Pt. II.” It’s a mind-blowing experience! I think only Led Zeppelin, Nirvana, Michael Jackson, Veruca Salt, The Beatles, and The Kinks have succeeded at this same level at releasing what amounts to a whole magical album, a sequence of musical pieces literally casting a (good) spell over the listener. Oh, and Pink Floyd’s first album. And maybe the Butthole Surfers first studio LP. Upon reflection there are a few magical albums? But _Larks’ Tongues in Aspic_ tops them all in terms of completely rewiring brains in one listen.
@@danopticon Can is also very good, check the track Soup on the Ege Bamyasi album as well as Van Der Graff Generator, the Pawn Hearts album is a masterpiece.
I saw Tony Levin's "The Stickmen" earlier this year, and they opened the show with this. Which is probably my favorite King Crimson song. Just blew me away.
And I think it came just a bit earlier than the Pink Floyd track. And I would say this one sounds to me.....like If I am in Greece or Turkey. The violin, the percussion, the modal melody.
For those who experience this as magma finding ways up across a flat area, that warm sounding rendering would be, by far, the best. The wah-wah wind might bring a little coolness first... Then bursts of gas move stones here and there, until we'd see the whole landscape reveal an expanding furnace, stir hoards of snake-like/tentacular things out of their dens that add to the giant fly-like things (cf trumpet), a late afternoon sunlight piercing clouds enhances the burning process. (How about AI-generated clip) It ends with the unbearable, we're meant to pass away but it was an illusion: now we face someone [on behalf of whomever else] we'd betrayed (or any other offense causing life-long aftereffects) and we'll be at that someone's mercy (LTIA2)
Is fine but over rated group, experimental is good for the ancient times, I never like this part of the industry,, I like the song that Jon Anderson make for them in K L album, and like Belew time in the group.
I can't thank Robert fripp enough for finally letting these tracks be easily searchable and listenable

The greatest album, by the greatest band, with the greatest lineup in the long history of the Crimson King!!!!!

King Crimson is the best musical band ever. Nobody is going to change my mind

Sinister and dark. King Crimson invented MUSIC
Jamie Muir was a percussive genius! The few gigs he played live with the band are legendary!
I saw Tony Levin's "The Stickmen" earlier this year, and they opened the show with this. Which is probably my favorite King Crimson song. Just blew me away.
I can’t be the only one who always found this song kind of unsettling.
Imo the whole album is
I find all the improvised KC stuff unsettling.
The most underrated KC track
No
ngl the violin is pretty fire
このベースまじでたまらん最高
Impressionante
This is an amazing piece. I love what sounds like a soft trumpet trill at the beginning and at other points in the song. Very nice effect.
That was Jamie Muir swinging a funnel connected to a hose aka a bullroarer.
IMO, that's the song where the album really takes off.
Almost nothing sounds better than King Crimson on Bose speakers!!
Really talks thanks💕
ILustre!!!!
Kinda reminds me of Pink Floyd's: "On The Run"
Except with actual instruments and interesting
far better than pf
And I think it came just a bit earlier than the Pink Floyd track. And I would say this one sounds to me.....like If I am in Greece or Turkey. The violin, the percussion, the modal melody.
