RED

This was the final album from the '73-'74 (Fripp, Cross & Bruford) whoever-period and it shows a harder-rocking sound, completely finishing the transition that started on Larks' Tongues In Aspic and was stabilized on Starless & Bible Black. The title track is a great instrumental rock-song with a great bridge in the middle, Fallen Angel and Starless are nice ballads in Crimson style, the latter of which features some great instrumental work near the end. Providence is a nice duet between a violin and the rhythm section and One More Red Nightmare is a dark song revolving around innovative percussion and a great alternative theme.
