King Crimson

Eclectic Prog

From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website

This album is one of the cornerstones of progressive rock. King Crimson are the style pioneers for some people, at least the first that became famous for doing this kind of music.

After lots of line up and musical direction changes, King Crimson (aka Mr Fripp and co) went through their most stable phase with one of the most imaginative and cohesive rhythm section formed by Bill Bruford and John Wetton. The latter being a musician that has become a part of lots of important bands along the 70's with his unmistakeable bass lines and his very personal voice.

Red is the ultimate King Crimson album. Five songs that point at different prog points of view. From the heavy side of the title track, improvisation on Providence and symphonic essence on Starless. A key album to understand the hardest, more energetic and more complex prog being made nowadays.

Peace!
