IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING

- The LP sleeve design impressed me a lot when i was a teenager, it was so different, so amazing. In the early 70's that was truly a great experience, a kind of mystic one.

- I was used to watch the music while listening at it : I wired the left & right speakers to the x-y input of an oscilloscope to draw Lissajous figures on the screen. I must say that "In the Court of the Crimson King" record was one of those which makes the best ones, especially at the end (with the organ playing). This is mainly because this LP was very well recorded, with a large stereo field depth and incredible sound recording quality - one of the first recording to use sound limiters. This way to listen & watch music at the same time is really mind-blowing. The only weakness in this record is the poor noise gate used, mainly in "21'st..." : too much noise when silence should be heard.
