RED

The mature King Crimson. This album makes a couple with Starless And Bible Black, but is more complete. A concrete sound in some themes, a experimental searching in others. The perfect join of the three former members (Fripp, Wetton, Bruford) in complementation with the "guests" with non traditional rock instruments. Just because of this, the album sounds deep, envolving, mysterious, charming. The changes from melody to hard sound and to melody again, the construction of a theme from free sounds to a complex structure (a wall of music) made Red a real avant garde creation (in his time, of course) that has not left his progressive character through the time. I mean: the time demonstrates that this album has passed the years pure and untouched. In don't know no one King Crimson album in the following years that have this quality. Red and In the Court of the Crimson King are the two great masterpieces of the group. The have more great albums, but none like this two.
