I myself always look forward to it! The element of violin is largely what makes Larks' Tongues part one so distinctive and unique in my ears.

The truth is, I have had Larks' for over a year now but I probably haven't listened to it more than, oh, I don't know, twenty times maybe? See, Larks´ is one of three records in my collection that I have this strange respect to, in that I won't listen to it casually or letting it spin several times in a row for example. The other two are Close To The Edge and Wish You Were Here. I treat all of them as a musical delicacy for special occasions only, which hopefully means that I will never be able to play them to death... I just want to "preserve the colour" of these records, to resort to laundry terms    

I was made to love magic

Ilove King Crimson music And Larks' In Tongues Aspic is very good album< but I don't think that it's best of them. It is to hard decide wich album is numero uno I like most In The Court of The Crimson King, Red,........ I like some new albums of KC like Thrak or The Power to Belive too
From Larks......... my favourite tracks are Exiles, and Easy Money

I absolutely love LTIA, and after all these years, I'm not sure why.  Maybe it is the investment I put into it.  I must've listened to it about 50 times before I started to really appreciate it.  However, there are parts that I find drag a little too much, such as the violin solo in LTIA Pt. 1, and the Talking Drum sounds a little drawn out.  In addition, the first part of Easy Money before the instrumental has never appealed to me.

In spite of these shortcomings, there is something that strongly draws me to this disc.  Something about the total package, right up to the fascinating album cover, has always intrigued me.



There's something I can fully relate to. I have done maybe 10 listens so far, it's really good, but it hasn't really clicked with me yet. I just feel it has a huge potential to grow on me. One of my favorites of KC's discgraphy. As you said the whole package makes the thing and the artwork is excellent!

Red still being my favorite

What about In the wake of poseidon???????? That album was great, as well as the others that seem to be the most popular (red, Larks, ITCOCK)

Would you believe me if I told you I like ITWOP more than Red?

Listening to Discipline as I write this but of the three listed - Red.  Abosolutely fantastic.  Larks is a close second and ITCOTCK is right behind it.  All three are masterpieces!

RED
One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity

for some reason, I have always loved discipline, though i am not a fan of much from the Eighties.

Larks' Tongues is my favoirte, maybe because it was the first KC album I heard. But really, it seems to me to be the most challenging album KC ever did, and one of the most challenging albums in prog in general.
