King Crimson is the King, indeed!

Agreed.  I find them to be one of the few consistenly progressive bands out there.

If I have to pick one Crimson track, Fracture would be my choice.

King Crimson is the King, indeed!

Listen to Turkish psych/prog; you won't regret:
Baris Manco,Erkin Koray,Cem Karaca,Mogollar,3 Hürel,Selda,Edip Akbayram,Fikret Kizilok,Ersen (and Dadaslar) (but stick with the '70's, and 'early 80's!)

Wow Fracture is the masterpiece of electric guitar! Fripp knows how to use a whole tone scale! I have a very large collection of classical, rock and jazz, and I've never heard a better piece of music!

I just heard it for the first time about an hour ago. It's alright, but I bet it'll get a lot better with repeated listenings.

It's the same version, just on Starless and Bible Black the background noise is eliminated and the guitar overdubbed. 

Guitar overdubbed?  How? I have both versions, and didn't notice differences?

The version from their last concert with Cross from Americe, has a nice version of it to. You can hear mellotrons much clearer.

I think SONIC YOUTH quoted the ending theme of "Fracture" on some of their song?

And I dislike censorship!

Most of the people on the site don't even know KC made it, and if they know they'll just say "o yes great song" and then run for some metal stuff......... it's crazy, putting those bands over the same level............ can you actually think how hard is playing fracutre for a metal head dude ?

 

I agree with you -- especially the quiet part is very hard to play.

The fact that something is hard to play means only that it is hard to play, it doesn't necessarily mean it's good. Try playing "Insect" by Spiral Architect (btw, a bunch of metalheads who would probably have few problems playing "Fracture"), must be incredibly hard, but does that make "Insect" a good song? Not really.

But back on topic - "Fracture" =

I agree in some things you say, for example "they won't answer good thread", and that about "ignorant minds", but I think some of your methods ougth to be refind and reconsidered

Cheers
