Nothing is better than heaven. Mutton is better than nothing. Therefore mutton is better than heaven. or Nothing is better than King Crimson. Area is is better than nothing. Therefore Area is better than King Crimson. Edited by Logan - June 09 2023 at 11:50 |

Just because "nothing is better" doesn't mean that anything else isn't good.

I like King Crimson, but somehow it's not quite amongst my very favourites. Area, on the other hand, is.

For my father, nothing is better than Robert Fripp, Brian Eno and Bruford, but he dont know Area. Some think it's King Crimson that have made the link between american fusion and european prog rock, but for me Area is a better example.
As a keyboardist, I prefer Area and I think it's the best band of the 70s or the best eclectic prog band of the 70s. In the RPI category, I know that PFM could play as fast as Area, but the recording of their album is not really good. Banco have good recording and good symphonic element, but I dont like really much the singer.  And I think Area is more prog and more fusion than King Crimson ( no eletric organ in King Crimson, but of course the mellotron )
