Notes: Originally
labeled, "The Band that will Live Forever" this record
has gone on to become an icon in the progressive rock world. Along
with just a stellar cast of musicians the lyrics tell stories that
have a touch of the sixties feel, but seem to come from an older
world. Titled as an "Observation by King Crimson" the
record ranges from the brash "21st Century Schizioid Man" to
the gentle "I Talk to the Wind" and all levels in between.
Vocals by Greg (ELP, Atomic Rooster) Lake are well within
his range and well suited to the subject matter. Fripp and various
cohorts are still flying the King Crimson banner and there is a
wealth of musical material to wander through. The cover art grabs
the eye and compels you to further investigate this record. And
with good reason...
