It seems that most prefer the second part of this song but I think that part one is quite possibly the greatest song that has ever been produced. Choose your fave. ------------- There is no dark side in the moon, really... Matter of fact, it's all dark... |

| Part One is brilliant. It's my favourite thing King Crimson has done. |

| Part 2 is just brilliant for me, so that's my choice. Part 1 is too disjointed. I don't know part 3. Part 4 is also great. And Level 5, which once I read was suposed to be part 5 is also wonderful. |

I voted for Part 2, as I think it is one of the best prog songs ever composed & performed! However, I've also loved Part 1 since I first heard of it....this woman performed this rather remarkable tribute to LTIA Part 1, please listen! http://https://soundcloud.com/rachelflowers-1/larks-tongues-in-aspic-part-1-king-crimson-cover" rel="nofollow - http://https://soundcloud.com/rachelflowers-1/larks-tongues-in-aspic-part-1-king-crimson-cover

Love pt 1 but pt 2 got my vote...especially if we're talking about the version on USA or the other '73/'74 live versions which are just so much more powerful than the studio version. ------------- https://wytchcrypt.wixsite.com/mutiny-in-jonestown" rel="nofollow - Mutiny in Jonestown : Progressive Rock Since 1987 |

LTiA, Part I. Because when I first heard it, it actually sounded like a different direction in rock. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

I need to listen to some of those live versions again... as far as I remember I liked the studio version better mainly because this is perhaps the song in which the duo of Bruford and Muir works the absolute best genious. |

Part 1 is quite a grower, but I give the lead to part II. -------------

The studio version is very cool too but in a different way for me. There's more delicate interplay between BB and Muir (as you mentioned) and Wetton's bass (which is very clean and smooth). Even Fripp & Cross are playing in quite a restrained fashion...seems like everyone is really paying attention to each other and purposely not jumping on top but playing as a team. The USA and other live versions are just totally everyone turned up to 11 and bashing each other for instrumental supremacy like a sonic war. Wetton's fuzz bass is just plain nasty and RF is playing in the heavy metal language that lead to the heaviness of Red. The studio version is like a swirling summer breeze where the live versions are like a stage 4 hurricane  ------------- https://wytchcrypt.wixsite.com/mutiny-in-jonestown" rel="nofollow - Mutiny in Jonestown : Progressive Rock Since 1987 |

The correct answer is the "USA" version of Part 2. |

| Part 1 I guess, I don't really like the Larks Tongues album very much. Then again, I don't really like King Crimson in general apart from the 2000's stuff. |

Part 2 - but I also like the sprawling sound of Part 1 and its echoes of Vaughan Williams. Part 3 and 4 are lesser works. ------------- “Living in their pools, they soon forget about the sea.” |
