LARKS' TONGUES IN ASPIC

About this album my point of seeing is that it is worth to listen from the first song, the title track part one. It is a great example of live band performing in studio. Excelent mr Fripp solo, played with his unique style. The rithm session is very powerfull and it works very well in the closing set, the talking drum (with a tipique mr. Bruford drum riff) and the explosive LTIA part two, which is a masterpieace of all time KC. Note the way mr. Cross fuse the violin into this complex architecture, soloing or accompaining his fellows along the album. It needs several listens to this album to enter into it, but it deserves the attention. Any prog orientated follower should consider it into its collection.

Personally it is a very generous and energic album. It has some part less fluent, sometime even boring. Please consider that this band has a very specific approach to music, which is demonstrated by the high quantity of live improvised material that they produced in their career (which we have an extensive catalogue... from collector to very famous gigs).

It is so high output that we can admit KC hides into different forms. It can be very hard prog or soft sounds atmospheres. Sometimes our taste might differ, and this can happen into the same album. Considering this I would pick up as masterpieces in the court of Crimson King (dispite Moonchild second part), the present album (dispite some less brilliant passage into the soft ballades) and Discipline as a Must of everybodies collection, who consider KC as part of the propellers of the prog rock
