Gonna have to go with Red on this one. Was my top KC album for a long, long time, and it's still on my constant listening rotation.

While both are great albums, overall I like the songs a little more on Red than LTIA, so Red gets my vote. Also, Red has Starless, which is one of my favorite songs of all time.

Good struggle... struggle for life.
The saxs in Red make the difference with Larks.

I'll go with LTiA. Both Starless and Bible Black and Red are the logical progressions of the sound first created on Larks', right down to the menacing metal Fripp first employed on the title track. The experimental nature of LTiA and the Orientalism introduced on that album have always intrigued me.

While LTiA is where they showed more innovation from the previous album, I prefer Red by a small margin.

I’ve always thought that the production / sound of Larks’ Tongues was supersonic. It was love at first listen all those years ago.

Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.
