My fav track from KC. This version of KC was the best. They were playing something so raw, complex and powerful. The music remains fresh sounding and vital.

Good album, but IMO  "In the Court of" is their undisputed masterpiece. I'd put it  fourth behind ITCOTCK, Red, and Lizard.  It has some great moments, but too my ears it has too many dead spots and is not very unified. Still a dam

Some of their best stuff, imo, some very heavy prog rock, sich as the LTiA parts, as well as Book of Saturday, a great piece of mellow guitar work, along with Easy Money, and one of my few favorite pieces, Exiles, always loved that one.
