LARKS' TONGUES IN ASPIC

"Larks' Tongues in Aspic". I always had my eye on it. I think it was the album cover; it always had my attention. The sun and moon and the white background. And so one day, I decided to get it and was I ever glad I did. This album is hard to explain. It is quite an incredible journey listening to the grandness of it. Very jazzy and experimental and I am not altogether fond of jazz either. It somewhat converted me to it, that's for sure. King Crimson really proved to me that they are masters of prog and among my new influences when playing guitar. Robert Fripp is just an extraordinary guitarist, showcasing his great skill on "LTIA Pt. 2" and my personal favorite. "Exiles". I would say this is my favorite KC album and it really is a marvelous record. The stylings of Fripp and Co. are just infectious.
