larks_tongues_in_aspic

Shine, shine; the light of good works shine.

The trifecta, ‘Lark’s Tongues in Aspic’‘Starless and Bible Black’, and ‘Red’ represent a distinct period in King Crimson’s musical catalogue. From quintet, (Fripp, Bruford, Wetton, Cross, Muir), to quartet (Fripp, Bruford, Wetton, Cross), and finally to trio (Fripp, Bruford, Wetton) before King Crimson ended for the first time, only to reappear in 1981.

This is a departure from the King Crimson of ‘In the Court…’. Much has changed. Come, listen; I have a tale to tell you.
