KING CRIMSON / In the wake of poseidon


In the wake of poseidon

Bit rate 320 kps

IF ASK FOR PASSWORD:"2000mustangs"

01. Peace-A Beginning 0.50
02. Pictures Of A City 8.01
03. Cadence And Cascade 4.37
04. In The Wake Of Poseidon 7.56
05. Peace-A Theme 1.15

07. The Devil's Triangle 11.37
08. Peace-An End 2.53

King Crimson opened 1970 scarcely in existence as a band, having lost two key members (Ian McDonald and Michael Giles), with a third (Greg Lake) about to leave. Their second album -- largely composed of Robert Fripp's songwriting and material salvaged from their stage repertory ("Pictures of a City" and "The Devil's Triangle") -- is actually better produced and better sounding than their first. Surprisingly, Fripp's guitar is not the dominant instrument here: The Mellotron, taken over by Fripp after McDonald's departure -- and played even better than before -- still remains the band's signature. The record doesn't tread enough new ground to precisely rival In the Court of the Crimson King. Fripp, however, has made an impressive show of transmuting material that worked on stage ("Mars" aka "The Devil's Triangle") into viable studio creations, and "Cadence and Cascade" may be the prettiest song the group ever cut. "The Devil's Triangle," which is essentially an unauthorized adaptation of "Mars, Bringer of War" from Gustav Holst's The Planets, was later used in an eerie Bermuda Triangle documentary of the same name. [In March of 2000, Caroline and Virgin released a 24-bit digitally remastered job that puts the two Mellotrons, Michael Giles' drums, Peter Giles' bass, and even Fripp's acoustic guitar and Keith Tippett's acoustic piano practically in the lap of the listener.]..Bruce Eder

KING CRIMSON / larks tongues in aspic



King Crimson - Larks' Tongues In Aspic (1975)(30th Anniversary Edit
2004)

King Crimson reborn yet again — the newly configured band makes its
debut with a violin (courtesy of David Cross) sharing center stage with
Robert Fripp's guitars and his Mellotron, which is pushed into the
background. The music is the most experimental of Fripp's career up to
this time — though some of it actually dated (in embryonic form) back
to the tail end of the Boz Burrell-Ian Wallace-Mel Collins lineup. And
John Wetton was the group's strongest singer/bassist since Greg Lake's
departure three years earlier. What's more, this lineup quickly
established itself as a powerful performing unit working in a more pure
ly experimental, less jazz-oriented vein than its immediate predecessor.
"Outer Limits music" was how one reviewer referred to it, mixing Cross'
demonic fiddling with shrieking electronics, Bill Bruford's astounding
dexterity at the drum kit, Jamie Muir's melodic and usually understated
percussion, Wetton's thundering (yet melodic) bass, and Fripp's guitar,
which generated sounds ranging from traditional classical and soft
pop-jazz licks to hair-curling electric flourishes. [The remastered
edition, which appeared in the summer of 2000 in Europe and slightly
later in America, features beautifully remastered sound — among other
advantages, it moves the finger cymbals opening the first section of
the title track into sharp focus, with minimal hiss or noise to obscure
them, exposes the multiple percussion instruments used on the opening
of "Easy Money," and gives far more clarity to "The Talking Drum." This
version is superior to any prior CD release of Larks' Tongues in Aspic,
and contains a booklet reprinting period press clippings, session
information, and production background
on the album.] ..Bob Hope

KING CRIMSON / discipline 1981"remastered 2004"



PASSWORD IF NEEDED "2000mustangs"


King Crimson have been one of those bands that have always come in for negative criticism from the rock press for proggy excesses every time they released a new album. Often it has been deserved and sometimes definitely not. 'Discipline' is very much as case of the latter. Instead of ambient noodlings and indecipherable lyrics that go on for eons, the tracks here are concise, cleaner sounding and godammmit ..funky. Tunes like 'The Hun Ginjeet', 'Frame by frame' and 'Elephant Talk' wouldnt've been out of place on Talking Heads "Remain inlight". Not surprising as both Fripp and Belew have lent their chops to Heads albums. So, if the Heads are your bag I recommend you lend an ear to this. If you prefer the proggy widdlings of yore you may not be so keen...Bob Hope
