My fav track from KC. This version of KC was the best. They were playing something so raw, complex and powerful. The music remains fresh sounding and vital.

The ballads are interesting, but the true strength of the album lies in the second half, an utterly transcendent sequence of Easy Money, The Talking Drum, and Lark's Tongue in Aspic Part 2 . That, plus the opening track, make this one of the greatest al

Good album, but IMO  "In the Court of" is their undisputed masterpiece. I'd put it  fourth behind ITCOTCK, Red, and Lizard.  It has some great moments, but too my ears it has too many dead spots and is not very unified. Still a dam
