Looks delicious to me.

Where is it from, some Western-European cuisine?

I have a Latin cookbook with a recipe for larks' tongues (It begins "Catch 1000 larks. Remove tongues. Discard larks.") so I always assumed it was an ancient Roman dish.

Bill as much as I love his drumming and talents can come across a douchbag. He talks about Yes in a condescending way and gives way too much credit to King Crimson.
I'm gonna have to see some evidence of that.

On a more relevant note: as Austin (Horizons) was saying (and I'll back him up again), the KC niche was a better place for Bill. In "Prog Rock Britannia" he admitted that he probably should have kickstarted his career as a jazz drummer, not as a rock drummer, ... which is also the reason why he put up with KC a long time ago and just stuck with jazz. Whatever serves him right.

He wasn't talking about what was better for you. He was talking about what was better for Bill. Both bands could compose, but KC decided to do more than that - improvise, and that was right up Bill's alley.


Tongue yeah yeah so can Yes, Sound Chaser and The Ancient obliterate any of KC's  work Cool


Just kidding they don't.

It's still tragic to me, because even though Crimson gained a phenomenal drummer, they always lacked in the vocal department without Lake. ELP has never been worth the power in vocals Lake brought to KC on their first two albums, and could've brought to the proceeding albums.

I played larks album recently and just didn't enjoy it much. The album has major holes I reckon. There's no kick ass compositions such as gentle giants playing the game or the runaway. Brilliant tracks. I only like wettons voice in the slow tracks. His voice sucks in easy money a bit

That's like my favorite KC song.

I think in KC there was more breathing space for Bruford than it had ever been, or could have been in Yes. For one thing, Bruford gravitated towards jazz ... KC was a lot more jazzy than Yes. For another, in Yes the drummer somehow never was a primary player (I am glad the bassist was, though).

I have always been a bit mystified by the love Larks' Tongues gets around here. Don't get me wrong, it has it's moments and I am a big KC fan in general, but compared to their other works it has always struck me as a bit lackluster. The only track on it I really love is The Talking Drum.

^ I always thought of four out of six tracks on the album as brothers, all heavy. The grooves, the sound of the guitar and the bass, masterful improvs and compositions. Bruford was definitely integral to that sound. A (mostly) dirty record, and that's why I like it.

I was thinking the same thing. Aren't they too large to be larks' tongues? BTW, I took the picture from a blog and took its author's word for it.
