In The Wake Of Poseidon. A Discussion.

My favourite King Crimson albums have always been the early ones, and "In the Wake of Poseidon" is an amazing trip for me. Prog pundits have often criticised the album, calling it a clone of their debut, but I think "In the Wake of Poseidon" has its own unique personality and some amazing King Crimson musical moments. "Cadence and Cascade" is still, in my opinion, one of the most reminiscent and delicate melodies ever written in our beloved genre. One of my all-time favourite King Crimson songs is the title tune, "In the Wake of Poseidon." Greg Lake as singer was fantastic in King Crimson, as can be heard in "Pictures of a City," which is a great song as well.
It features a tonne of mellotrons as well as some elaborate melodic moments. Pete Sinfield's ethereal ideas from "In the Wake of Poseidon" will forever remind true dreamers that the early phase of King Crimson was and remains its best.

	Prompted by Paul's 5 KC song thread, I've always felt that the album, while not as strong as it's predecessor, has many many positives, such the stunning title track, Keith Tippet's jazzy piano on many songs, and the fact that the band carried on after losing two key members. Your thoughts. Edited by SteveG - April 15 2024 at 03:32
