IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING

Defined by Pete Townshend as "a mysterious masterpiece", "In the court of King Crimson" is one of great jewels and pieces key of the progressive rock. Of downcast beautiful tonality and imaginería lírica, their basic emulsion between rock and jazz, psicodélicas keys and eclectic rates, some of the best sections would deparan than it has known the style, in a demonstration of how using without jactanciosa pomposidad mellotron, the guitar, the battery, low or the wind instruments. "21st Century Schizoid Man" is one of the most important subjects in the race of King Crimson, perhaps the one that better defines its capacity to conjugate the hard-rock with the jazz, in a transit distorted and full of acid might, acérbico spirit and pessimistic approach on the human nature, marked by the violence and the avarice. The counterpoint to the piece that opens the Lp is "I talk to the wind", a gorgeous ballad imbuida by Pete Senfield of sensible melancholy, that Greg Lake transmits vocal of very effective way, ornamented by sad and wonderful flauta. "Epitaph" is a sublime cut of melodía that presents/displays a great poetic work of Senfield and one afflicted atmosphere, enaltecida by its épica projection. "Moonchild" begins like a precious ballad marked by a bucólica subyugante imaginería to transform into an extensive sample book jazz of psicodélica infusion and key minimalista, that will be hopeless to some by its possible experimental indulgence and will hypnotize to others by its quiet lethargic capacity. The Lp, that left agape to many of its contemporary ones, closes with the title homónimo, an unforgettable cut, brilliant as much in its instrumental work as vocal, with special meaning of mellotron of Ian McDonald, that us retrotrae to a fascinating medieval scene.
