Topic: KING CRIMSON "Larks Tongues In Aspic" Posted: April 11 2004 at 20:37 |
Some of their best stuff, imo, some very heavy prog rock, sich as the LTiA parts, as well as Book of Saturday, a great piece of mellow guitar work, along with Easy Money, and one of my few favorite pieces, Exiles, always loved that one.

The ballads are interesting, but the true strength of the album lies in the second half, an utterly transcendent sequence of Easy Money, The Talking Drum, and Lark's Tongue in Aspic Part 2 . That, plus the opening track, make this one of the greatest al

Easayy Monnneyyyyyyyyyy!! My fav track from KC. This version of KC was the best. They were playing something so raw, complex and powerful. The music remains fresh sounding and vital.
