Nice to see King Crimson getting positive press from the Irish media in 1969: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/600/34cw.png/" rel="nofollow">  http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/607/c6of.png/" rel="nofollow">  ------------- ''Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal.'' - Albert Camus |

Great article. My favourite press quote about Crimso came in 1974 and appears in the booklet accompanying the old best of vinyl, "The Young Person's Guide to King Crimson": "While Yes are busy marvelling at the wonders of the universe, King Crimson are busy orchestrating it's demise"  ------------- https://wytchcrypt.wixsite.com/mutiny-in-jonestown" rel="nofollow - Mutiny in Jonestown : Progressive Rock Since 1987 |

| Calling the mellotron a soulless instrument is like saying King Crimson was devoid of artistic talent and made up exclusively of musical neophytes. |

"Soulless" is probably the one adjective I would never use to describe a mellotron  ------------- https://wytchcrypt.wixsite.com/mutiny-in-jonestown" rel="nofollow - Mutiny in Jonestown : Progressive Rock Since 1987 |

Thank you, it is pleasing return into times, in which hardly anybody knows what mellotron is, who typically is using it, or who is some "Bob Fritt" |

Real talk, every time that mellotron chord starts at the beginning of Starless, I'm in tears. |
Like, every time. Such a deep sound from a truly expressive, emotional instrument. Probably the most inherently emotional one in all of prog.Posted By: Adams Bolero

I feel the exact same way about the start of 'In the Wake of Poseidon'. ------------- ''Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal.'' - Albert Camus |
