"I've Been Here And I've Been There/ And I've Been In Between".......2007-07-20

One can only imagine what it was like to hear King Crimson's debut album back in 1969 (unless you're at least 38 years old, I guess. Okay, I probably I could have picked a better sentence to start this review. Moving on...). In the Court of the Crimson King was a bold, dramatic statement, an uncomprimising record that seamlessly combined hard rock (in the 60s sense of the word. Think Blue Cheer and Cream) with psychedelia and elements of jazz and high-minded poetic grandeur. The eye-popping cover art and suite-style song structures sealed the deal, and a new style of music was born: Progressive rock. Indeed, just about every act that has ever been labled "prog," from Pink Floyd to Yes to Jethro Tull and onward through the likes of Radiohead and the Mars Volta can trace the basis of their sound back to the 'Crim's first record. Robert Fripp's slashing guitar chords and nimble melodies bridged the gap between hevy metal and art rock (before either style was really a full-fledged genre, Black Sabbath and the Velvets notwithstanding), while multi-instrumentalist Ian McDonald gave the music a jazzy, textured complexity, weather he was playing the flute, the vibes, or the mellotron, and Greg Lake's vocals were quintessential prog: Technically acomplished, dramatic, and high-minded. Michael Giles' drumming picked up where Fripp's guitar left off, spanning the (not all that wide) space between rock and jazz. Topping the whole shebang off were Peter Sinfield's lyrics, which were abstract and poetic in the extreme, a set of textures and images rather than coherent statements.

But you probably want to know if the music's good. Well, here's the deal: No matter how good a progressive rock band is (and believe me, King Crimson were very, very good), they (pretty much) inevitably succumb to a few pitfalls. The most common is pretention. On this particular record, the most obvious victim of that malady is "Epitaph." The song's eight minutes don't produce a single memorable melody, and Sinfield's lyrics are obtuse in the extreme. They amble through a series of references to men being "torn apart/ with nightmares and with dreames" and "the iron gates of fate" without producing a single good line. It doesn't help that Lake seems to think Virgin Mobile Pay as You Go Plan

The most authentic form of Progressive Rock.......2007-07-16

For lots of fans this album is considered "the best" of King Crimson. Although I am a little cautious while calling "the best"; something for sure, this is the most authentic progressive rock music. You can taste the most original progressive rock embodied in rhythm, form, harmony, and melody. That is unbelievable that the album was released in 1974 (Let me double check!). Let's give them five stars as they paved the way for the bands that day by day, elevate the concept of creativity in rock music: Dream Theater, Porcupine Tree, Spock's beard, The Flower Kings, Tool, and...

I first heard this on vinyl........2007-07-13

King Crimson made good records throughout the late 60's and through the 70's. This is their best record in my opinion. Buy it, you won't be disappointed.

Crying for an Angel Dying.......2007-07-01

King Crimson's IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING (1969) and RED (1974) share some similarities. Both contain only five tracks. Both kick off with a furious aural assault ("21st Century Schizoid Man" and "Red", respectively). Both end with an extended, dramatic epic ("In the Court of the Crimson King", "Starless"). Both contain an interesting but ultimately rather pointless jam (most of "Moonchild", "Providence"). And both mark pivotal moments in the band's history. For while IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING was the group's debut and kick-started the progressive rock movement, RED was their final album before guitarist and bandleader Robert Fripp suspended King Crimson indefinitely (or until 1981 anyway).

But for what similarities there are between the two albums, the King Crimson of RED is very different from the King Crimson that had debuted only five years earlier. Only Fripp remained from the original lineup, joined by bassist/vocalist John Wetton (later of Asia) and drummer extraordinaire Bill Bruford (formerly of Yes) and augmented by familiar players Ian McDonald (sax), David Cross (violin), and Mel Collins (sax). Where that earlier band reveled in lush, melancholic Mellotron soundscapes, this incarnation was leaner, meaner, pounding out angular, metallic riffs and attacking their material with the ferocity of a much less "sophisticated" outfit. The first vinyl side ("Red", "Fallen Angel", "One More Red Nightmare") is irreproachable, and the aforementioned "Starless" is amazing, magnificently building tension from a moody COURT-like beginning through a Spartan, jagged middle into a positively vicious climax that renews the opening theme with symphonic accuity. Only the overlong improvisation "Providence" - and the band's complete lack of a sense of humour, which can be very important when it comes to self-conscious, overblown prog rock - holds RED back from true greatness. But even in imperfect form, there's much to enjoy from King Crimson's last hurrah before a seven-year hiatus that would result in a fundamental change in the band's sound and direction.

Music worth the challenge.......2007-06-23

King Crimson's "Red" is an album that does require a few plays to grow on you. But it eventually scores a hit and captivates you. My only possible quibble with the album is the somewhat meandering "Providence" and the instrumental break in "Starless" that, had I been in the editing room at the time, would have reduced it by a minute or three.

The highlight of the album for me is the layered guitar work on "Fallen Angel." The closing song "Starless" is fantastic (again, if they had only cut that plodding guitar riff in the middle of the song short).

If you are into progressive rock and enjoy music that is challenging, give this one a try.

Red Rocks!.......2007-05-14

Truly one of the best prog rock albums and certainly one of the best prog rock bands of all time. Bruford, Fripp and Wetton set a level that current bands are still trying to attain. Sounds fresh after all of these years. This band has influenced more musicians than most people realize.

Culture Clash Club.......2007-07-21

Some seven years after Robert Fripp declared King Crimson dead post "Red," there was much surprise in the music world when he re-appeared not only with a four-piece rock band, but slapping the name King Crimson upon it. Just to make sure it would get the intellectual ears to ponder it, he gave it the academic and spiritually highbrow moniker "Discipline." Because as anyone worth their prog-rock smarts would tell you, playing good highbrow rock required it.

But what shook a lot of people at the time was how the usually reserved Fripp gave the front mic to Adrian Belew, whose more light-hearted (read "American") persona was so different from Fripp's. Add old KC alum Bill Bruford and US Bass/chapman stick wiz Tony Levin and you had a clash of continents that made for perfect chemistry. Fripp's mathematical guitar "fripperies" balance Belew's animal noises with impeccable beauty and more that a dash of humor. The two cuts to gather the airplay, "Elephant Talk" and "Thela Hun Ginjeet," seemed to favor Belew, who obviously was having a ball barking out the alliterations on "Elephant Talk." Bringing some of his polyrhythmic skills over from sidelining with Talking Heads, Belew brought the rock to Fripp's highbrow.

When the band decided to wax artistic, though, Belew delivered. The lovely "Matte Kudasi" may be one of his finest hours on any album, and the lyric to "Indiscipline" captured the love/hate relationship an artist can have with his words. The final, title track is also terrific fusion rock, the instrumental work that is positively electric. Levin's work on this song in particular and the album overall, probably brought the inventor of The Chapman Stick a whole new clutch of devotees.

Fripp may have looked on the new King Crimson as an academic exercise (the new liner notes are often unintentionally funny in their seriousness), but these four virtuosos under Fripp's strict hand held together to make some brilliant music. "Discipline" is best thought of as the high water mark in a trio that includes "Beat" and "Three of a Perfect Pair." By combining some of the ferocity of new wave (there are hints of Talking Heads and The Police among the songs here), proved that the new line-up of Kind Crimson lived up the legacy of its namesake.

Underrated even as it is lavished with praise.......2007-06-20

I know my title makes no sense, but it's true. This album cannot be praised enough. It is a masterwork. It is a new era for the Crim, more new-wavey but still pretty proggish. These songs are excellently written, and are made more so by the players. Robert Fripp and Adrian Belew on the guitar create some of the most excellent shredding in the history of music, with the two's complicated lines interlocking and creating something fantastic. Then there's Tony Levin on bass/stick, playing seemingly simple but probably not so bass/stick lines. They, especially the stick lines, seem to act more as another melody than harmony. And then there is freakin' William Scott Bruford on the drumset. Why is this guy not as appreciated as god-danged Neil Peart? Peart is way too flashy and far too mechanical to be as praised as he is. I'm being a hypocrite here, because there is no way in heck I'm as good a drummer as Peart. But jeez, Bruford is so much better. The guy has such a unique style and keeps up with this very complex playing with absolute ease and finesse, but instead of playing fills the whole way through like a certain Canadian, he GROOVES and it is EXCELLENT.
Sorry to get off on a rant there. I love Rush, I even like Peart's playing generally. Let's move on.
Concerning the album, a song that is good, or even a song that is great would be a total dud on this album. That's how awesome it truly is. "Elephant Talk" is a great opener, with lyrics that are mainly synonyms for the word talk, with weird elephantesque guitar noises and a cool stick melody being what makes the song better than it already was.
"Frame by Frame"...wow. Fripp's incredibly fast run-up-the-fretboard-and-back-and-not-break-a-sweat guitar riff is simply the epitome of sweetness and the more melodic part of the song (e.g., the verses) is stunning and beautiful.
"Matte Kudasai" is a lovely ballad with a beautiful slide guitar sound that is a recurring theme and Belew's drifting, pleasant voice singing lyrics such as "She sleeps in a chair/in her sad/America". I'm not a fan of soft, ballad-type songs, but this is done quite well.
"Indiscipline" sounds totally unhinged, with Belew ranting about "it" and equally wild music popping up after each verse. Crazy fun.
"Thela Hun Ginjeet" is another fairly unhinged song, but it is not as wild as "Indiscipline", for sure. Rather, it grooves and comes back to a recurring, fairly nonsensical (at least, it seems) chorus when it is not recounting an absolutely bizarre and somewhat creepy narrative that seems to be about some sort of videotape.
"The Sheltering Sky" is a beautiful and interesting instrumental that is a little overlong. I dig it, though.
Now we come to the title track. "Discipline" is another instrumental, but is far more awesome than "The Sheltering Sky". In fact, it makes "TSS" look like a huge turd floating in gross brown water in a disgusting toilet with the lid up in a dingy gas station/truck stop. It has incredibly awesome, nearly orgasmic overlapping guitar parts that, along with the really cool bass-and-drums groove, creates a totally out-of-this-world whole. Even though it is fairly minimalistic and five minutes long, it doesn't last long enough.
The bonus track, the alternate take of "Matte Kudasai" is good, because you can't really ruin a song like that. But it is almost the same as the previous version. Kind of a waste.
In summary, 500000000000000000000000000000 stars. Perfect. What music should sound like.

This CD is the King of King Crimson!.......2007-06-08

This is such an awesome CD full of interesting sounds and rhythms! I had it years ago when it came out and had it stolen. Lately I kept thinking about it and decided to purchase the new remastered CD. It's just as good as ever! In fact I think I appreciate the work and the quality of the recording even more now.

Tony Levin's bass is phenomenal! Sometimes it's interesting just following his bass playing. Outstanding! Whether he's with Crimson or with Peter Gabriel he's fantastic. Definitely one of the best bass players I know of along with Chris Squire. And talk about guitar work. Fripp and Belew do some outstanding, very interesting work here. Kind of Al Di Meola on acid. Bill Bruford is excellent! I read a review where someone apparently doesn't think much of Bruford. I've seen him perform in a couple of different groups like Genesis and Yes and he's alway been able to flow with a progressive band well. He provides a great foundation for the music here.

Highly recommended if you are in to strange music and progressive rock styles. My favorite Kin Virgin Mobile Pay as You Go Plan

This is a lot tastier than "Cat Food".......2007-06-18

As the author of the Jefferson Airplane book "Take Me To A Circus Tent" and a former radio disc-jockey, I am often asked to write and or discuss various recordings from the 60's and 70's.

"In the Wake of Poseidon" King Crimson's second and superlative effort will never get the credit it deserves because from the day it was released it has only been compared to the debut Crimson recording. Since the first King Crimson album is one of the finest records ever, it immediately put an albatross around the follow-up.

If you listen to "In the Wake of Poseidon" and judge it not against the initial Crimson offering but on its own merits, the results were tremendous (Under the most difficult of circumstances).

Ian McDonald had exited and his unique approach to the mellotron would have to be replaced. Greg Lake the voice of the group would leave shortly and soon create legendary music under the name ELP.

Robert Fripp took on the Herculean task of not only playing guitar for the sessions but mellotron as well. The result saw a blending of the instruments in a scholarly fashion.

"Peace- A Beginning" is a haunting opening to the festivities. It comes out of nowhere and is perplexing in its short structure (Fifty seconds).

"Pictures Of A City" goes the opposite direction. It is eight minutes of Robert Fripp's musical intensity. He is the professor leading his students.

"Cadence And Cascade" is a work of beauty. The acoustic guitar and vocals work as if they were one. Do not let the preconceived notions of Gordon Haskell not being Greg Lake (Obviously) diminish the results. Gordon would sing on this song only.

The title track has Greg Lake's voice full of power and passion. It could cut through titanium and still be gentle when needed. This will grab your attention on the first listening.

"Peace- A Theme" slows things down for a bit over a minute but also gives you a false sense of security for what is next.

"Cat Food" pulls out the kitchen sink and everything else is its way. Ironically, in a truncated form this was the single from the album!

"The Devils Triangle" is the longest piece on the album. The drums sound as if you are attending a marching bands rehearsal as the other instruments improvise through an impressive journey of diverse sounds.

"Peace- An End" A short vocal dominated tune would signal the end of a time tested treasure and another chapter in the saga we call King Crimson.

If you get the edition with the bonus tracks you can enjoy the single version of "Cat Food" and the B side "Groon."

Enjoy the music and be well,

Come on now, this CD rules.......2007-05-17

Okay, this may be similar to their debut album In the Court of the Crimson King, but it is longer and just as good. It has a great variety of tracks from soft and moody (Cadence and Cascade) to funky (Pictures of a City) to just plain fun (Cat Food). This is an essential buy for King Crimson fans.

Impressive followup, though strangely familiar.......2007-04-21

The common complaint about this album is that it is an almost song-for-song clone of the band's debut, "In The Court Of The Crimson King." To make things worse, the band has already begun to fragment and lineup changes had already begun before the disk was completed. However, this is still a great album. "Pictures Of A City" may not have the collective group feel of "21st Century Schizoid Man," but it's just as agressive and has some excellent guitar work. "Cadence And Cascade" is just as pretty as "I Talk To The Wind," and "Cat Food" has a great jazz-rock feel with wild piano work by Keith Tippet. Some songs even do better on this album than the debut's counterparts they are modelled after: I much prefer the title track over 1969's "Epitaph," and "The Devil's Triangle" is a nicer look at the band's improvisational style than the free form ending of "Moonchild." The mellotron work on this album is very nice. King Crimson records are some of the most well-produced albums ever made and I can certainly recommend this one.

In The Court Of the Crimson King Part II.......2007-03-21

This album is very similiar to their first album 'In The Court Of The Crimson King.' Robert Fripp wanted to and did prove that he could have written the first album, on his own.

Fripp takes over the Captains wheel and mans the Mellotron duties as well .......2007-02-06

1. Peace-A Beginning - Already out of the band, Lake does a favor and sings beautifully here and on this album. IMO Lake, McDonald and Giles should have taken a break instead of breaking up after 1 album and tour.
2. Pictures of a City - 21st Century Schitziod Man Part. 2
3. Cadence and Cascade - Not a good track sung by the (embarrased to have been in Crimso) Gordon Haskell
4. In the Wake of Poseidon - Epitath part 2, Melotron by Fripp
5. Peace - A Theme - Forgettable Guitar theme
6. Cat Food - OK, but well its just OK
7. Devil's Triangle: Merday Morn/Hand of Sceiron/Garden of Worm - Here we go, the deep sea set to a nightmare of music, thats a compliment. THis would of fit nice on the debut instead of the long improv jam
8. Peace - An End - Goodbye Greg Lake

Ok, so I've been collecting Zimmer and countless other classical-film score composers since I was 8. This is definately one of Zimmer's defining momtents as a composer. The themes and orchestrations presented here are just mind blowing, and totally great.

Buy if you are a fan of Zimmer, or muscular score music.

great pounding theme, but little more.......2006-09-29

Zimmer's score for Crimson Tide is, in my opinion, one of the more overrated scores that has been written in the last 20 years. This score is continually lauded by music lovers as powerful, inspiring, and exciting. I would apply those adjectives to the theme of the film (heard in the first, fourth, and fifth tracks on the album) but to little else in the score. The other problem here is that the tracks are so long that to hear the great theme, you'll need to listen to at least 10 minutes of music that is adequate at best, and downright boring at worst. When I first got this score years ago I would have given it 5 stars, but I think I was being influenced by what everyone else was Virgin Mobile Pay as You Go Plan

Electronics nit! and From Here to Infirmary.

People have said that the star of the album is really Mercy Me. I'm also a complete sucker for harmony, and Mercy Me has harmonies that almost evoke Brian Wilson. However, listeners will also find a real treat in the next track, Dethbed, which has the same harmonies with a more morbid, darker overtone to it, which is frankly more reminiscent of their earlier recordings (which listeners seem to be looking for).

The songwriting is so intelligent, the composition of the music itself is intelligent itself, and what Alkaline Trio has produced in Crimson is a damn good album.

Bitter "we knew them first" fans should realize that bands grow, and that sometimes their fans don't grow with them as quickly. The good news is for these fans is that there *are* bands out there right now cutting their teeth on punk, like Amazing Transparent Man, who will do more than enough to satisfy when "The Trio" goes "pop."

This albulm is O.K........2007-04-24

If you've never listened to alkaline trio before do not get this albulm, its ok i guess, but it is nothing compared to goddamnit! or self-titled

Strong Album.......2007-04-07

Solid 4 stars. If there were 4.5 stars I'd give it that. Not their best but definitely on the better end of the spectrum. Probably their best album from a continuity standpoint, however.

"Crimson" is the worst of the best.......2007-01-25

Make no mistake about it, Alkaline Trio is an amazing band. Their raw energy, pure emotion, and cleverly crafted macabre themes have consistently come across as genuine...until "Crimson". This album, though musically very good, comes across as forced, as if they were told to write a lyrically dark and depressing album but not given their usual amount of creative license. While this album is lacking in that respect, it is still quite good and worth listening to.

Love........2006-11-08

a lot of people say this cd is too "pop" and its no good and all i can say is this is one of my favorite cds i own. it reminds me a lot of good mourning, but a bit more... produced? so maybe it is a little more mainstream than the others but that doesnt make it bad. my favorite song on this cd is #3, burn. its a great cd though. so yeah.

Enchantment.......2007-04-03

This music is so exquisite it brings tears of joy to my eyes. I have never been so moved. Wonderful for meditation or just relaxed enjoyment. A singer with perfect pitch and an enormously talented composer. This beautiful music will take you into presence.

Heavenly.......2007-03-10

Singh Kaur's heavenly music is the perfect antitdote to a busy and stress-filled day. I easily come back home, to my most shining self, when I listen to her other-worldly CD.

Equisite and Filled Eternal Bliss.......2005-10-12

Just exquisite! I love Singh Kaur from her Crimson Series releases and absolutely adored her previous collaboration with Gary Stadler on "Fairy NightSongs". But this new release fills me with such joy and wonder and opens my heart in a way that I have never experienced from music before. Singh Kaur's voice is radiant and pierces my soul with it's devotional passion and tenderness. I feel blessed to have found this magnificent piece of music. Thank you, thank you, thank you Gary Stadler for bringing Singh Kaur's final musical gift to us all. Many Blessings.

All Pain And Sorrow Depart.......2005-09-14

As I've mentioned elsewhere I have a deep, visceral reaction when I hear Singh Kaur's voice. Suddenly I stop for a moment, as the wise say, my mind opens, and I remember that the problem isn't me, the problem is my reaction to the problem. This dates back to my first discovery of her series of chants done on the independent ?Invincible label with Kim Robertson on harp. This Crimson collection, her final recording, is the closest thing to healing music that I have ever heard. Unfortunately, the set has to be sought out or ordered, and many people simply have never heard what is one of the most powerful voices in new age music.

I don't know if I can put my finger on what exactly is it about her singing that does this. The Spark in the Night, the first cut on this album is a reworking of an old melody of hers. The simplicity of her voice, the purity of her tone fits right into the music. As her singing matured, her voice gained coloration, and this song works not simply as and easy melody, but it reaches the listener emotionally as well.

Most of the album (43 minutes) is spent on the title piece, this universe. Combining wit Gary Stadler, Lisa Lynne, and several others, it is meditation music perfection. While anything of this length is going to be repetitious, Singh Kaur manages to vary dynamics, rhythm and color so that even the repetition is soothing. This is no small accomplishment in a world where many people think that meditation music should be electronic choirs droning over electronic strings. Singh Kaur is never hackneyed.

Rather than drone on about Kaur's talents, I suggest that, if you are looking for the narrow path to inner quiet, you stop a moment and listen for yourself.

I also don't get all the complaints about the lead singers voice. He's not a gifted singer, but he's nowhere near the worst out there. You might even say his voice can be quite pretty and believable during certain parts.

For someone like me who likes music that's WAY out there, this is certainly a very comfortable listen for me. Little bits of creativity are just bursting all OVER the place. Great album.

Stake A Lizard by The Throat.......2007-02-06

Best track here is Lizard: Prince Rupert Awakes/Bolero-The Peacock's Tale/The Battle ...
- featuring Yes's Jon Anderson on guest lead vocals. this track is worth the price of admission for Prince Ruperts Lament/Fripps searing guitar solo at the end of the track before the fade out of backwards sped-up mellotron

My Favorate K.C. Album.......2007-01-19

I can't get enough of this cd. Every song is great it will take a few maybe more listens to relise that they are great, but it's worth it.

Track By Track

1."Cirkus" (Robert Fripp, Peter Sinfield) - 6:27 5/5
Amazing song one of there best. Great opener, the mellotron and just the unique vocal style of Gordon is outstanding. Should like this one first listen if you like there first album.

2."Indoor Games" (Fripp, Sinfield) - 5:37 5/5
This song is alot harder to get into. If your into the jazzy stuff you should like this track. The improv is great in the middle. And has a nice little ending to it.=)

3."Happy Family" (Fripp, Sinfield) - 4:22 4.6/5
Fast, "Different" and just sorda confusing but highly recommended. This song depends on how far your willing to branch out because this one is out there but it's very good. Plus it's about the Beatles.

4."Lady of the Dancing Water" (Fripp, Sinfield) - 2:47 5/5
Great little song reminds me of some of there other ballads very good and is somewhat of a breather compared to Happy Family and what is next. And is about a lady obviously, a theme that would come up alot more in Islands.

5."Lizard" (Fripp, Sinfield) - 23:15 6/5
The first part "Prince Rupert Awakes" is probly my favorate song on the album Jon Andersons voice is out of this world. This is a pretty haunting track with some great jazzy playing. And the Mellotron can send chills down your spine if you are blasting this song. Pt.2 "Bolero: The Peacock's Tale" nice little part of the song. Has some great work from the band and Gordon gets the final words of the album "Forming lines of horse and steel By even yards march forward" and Pt.3The Battle of Glass Tears begins which is also outstanding lots of horns and amazing drumming and gets better by the minute. Then after some amazing horn work comes Fripp with not his greatest but some good ole haunting guitar at the end. And at the finale of the album is Bit Top which reminds me of spinning around in a room. It's ok but I wish the album ended with Fripps guitar.
Overall get this album if your into King Crimson and you are into some of the jazz fusion like stuff.

A great album .......2006-12-17

King Crimson's third album Lizard is not quite as consistant as the first two but it's better than the next one. This is a very jazzy sounding album with some celtic and baroque thrown in. The first part of this release is made up of four songs all sung by Gordon Haskell. In fact, this started up with the lineup that finished Poseidon for the most part anyway. While all these songs are great for me it's the second half of the cd that is like nothing else. Back in the days of records this was one of my most played sides. The Lizard side as we all used to call it back then. It starts off very quitely with a guest vocal appearace by Jon Anderson and then moves in to some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard. Several related pieces that have an absolutely beautiful sound and are quite unlike anything you'll hear anywhere else. A wonderful piece. Big Top is very brief but fits in well with the Lizard Suite.
