LIZARD

This is some of the most inovative music you could hear. Philosophically it is a piece about the "wheel of existence" life is a circus, and a nasty one. I find after thirty odd years that the direction is a little negative, the final battle focusses on the loser. But the material is also true if a little hard to take. Fripp is reported to have said it is not the sort of music you play at parties. Prince Rupert is a delightful piece well composed with a simple yet powerful theme that recurs throughout. Bolero which follows is fantastic programme music, would accompany a movie well, one can almost see the comical calvacade of a medieval army proceeding to a war (in which they will be decimated).
