IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING

I think you can't forget the first time you hear this album. I can't say it's my favourite album by King Crimson but definately it was my first Crimson experience, and maybe my real prog one as well, so I don't know if this is the real first prog rock album in history but for me, for that time, it was. The songs in here are spectacular. I know Moonchild is often tagged as the low-point of the whole thing, but I got used to it... well, more or less. Anyway, it's heavy and dark and the "aura" is wonderful, a kind of 21st century medieval vision in the late 60s. Yes, a kind of prophecy.
