Jonesy Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I'm not the biggest fan of prog, but have to admit that I've always had a soft spot for King Crimson (maybe because they seem heavier than others and don't dress up as wizards?) and have been listening to this loads recently......

I haven't heard that album for over 30 years, but I seem to know the majority of the lyrics!! And it does seriously need a remix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edited January 21, 2022 by Richard R But I do agree, it would be even better with a careful polish by Steven Wilson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get old quicker than the music. I had a very dear departed friend (old guy, father of a good friend of mine) who narrated passages for a prog band from Florida; he sent me a CD years ago and I profess to never having listened to it. I've just fired it up. It's on Spotify. Will be nice to hear his voice again.* [Edit. *Blimey, I just heard the first bit where he talks and - despite it being a load of proggy tosh/nonsense - it was quite moving just hearing his voice after so long.] Edited January 21, 2022 by NancyJohnson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorks5stringer Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I've obviously been picked out by the YT algorithmn but this is a cracking 17 minutes and just my cup of tea: Lawrence. Great Bass sound and vocals too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunion Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Steve Wilson, the man’s a genius who plays with some of the finest musicians in the world. Guthrie Govans solo in this is not the fastest shred or the most complicated arrangement, but the way it builds and the feeling put into it, I think makes it one of the finest played. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemonstar Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 An album that should be listened to as an album - I like the atmospheric recording and the way tracks are slow and build - nothing too attention grabbing. In a way reminds me, in terms of instrumentation and sounds of one of my all time favourite albums Jim White's The Wrong Eyed Jesus. It's from 2012 - the previous album, perhaps more acclaimed one - Hadestown is more in the vein of Tom Waits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
