	In The Court Of The Crimson King - King Crimson - Pandora Internet Radio
		This reissue of King Crimson's debut, In the Court of the Crimson King (1969), renders all previous pressings obsolete.
		In the late '90s, Robert Fripp remastered the entire Crimson catalog for inclusion in a 30th anniversary edition.
		Initially, King Crimson consisted of Robert Fripp (guitar), Ian McDonald (reeds/woodwind/vibes/keyboards/Mellotron/vocals), Greg Lake (bass/vocals), Michael Giles (drums/percussion/vocals), and Peter Sinfield (words/illuminations).

		When it comes to talking about the paradigmatic example of such a phenomenon my choice would be King Crimson and their debut album "In the Court of the Crimson King." Released in 1969 with its distinctive cover art, this was the album that set the standard for progressive/psychedelic rock for the next decade.
		The result is that "In the Court of the Crimson King" is one of the albums that has to be considered when you are making a list of top albums from the Sixites or in the history of progressive rock music.
		In 'The Court Of The Crimson King' by King Crimson almost single handedly invented what was to become known as progressive rock, and with first track '21st Century Schizoid Man' had a fair hand at putting heavy metal music on the map.

	IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING (Site not responding. Last check: )
		When the dust had settled, King Crimson was crowned rock’s new champion, ushering in a golden age of music where brute force and beauty commingle with the sounds of distant worlds.
		Though perhaps inspired by the psychedelic spelunkering of The Beatles, Pink Floyd and Cream, King Crimson was birthed a titan, fully formed in body and in vision.
		In The Court of the Crimson King remains the cornerstone of the temple, and thus a cornerstone of any progressive rock collection.

	King Crimson Discography (Site not responding. Last check: )
		King Crimson's debut was music turned magical invocation, the force of creation funneled through the fingers of man. The band that would be king started innocently enough in the eponymous psychedelic outfit of Giles, Giles and Fripp.
		With the addition of John Wetton, Bill Bruford and David Cross, King Crimson found a measure of stability and skill that allowed Fripp to craft the band's original chaos into a refined formula, a unique amalgam of pomp and perfectionism, destruction and discipline.
		Crimson's death turned out to be dormancy when Fripp and Bruford returned in 1981 (with Tony Levin and Adrian Belew) on a new album, Discipline.

	King Crimson
		King Crimson may be the only commercially important prog rock band to blend dazzling musicianship with real artistic integrity.
		Crimson had long since become a revolving door for prog rock musicians, with Fripp being the only constant and none of their efforts approaching the debut in quality or commercial success.
		But Crimson's arrangements had gotten staggeringly complex by this point, and hardly anything is lost in the transition to the stage - thanks to the rhythm section's jaw-dropping virtuosity and the rich interplay between Fripp and Belew's arpeggiating guitars ("Sleepless").

	King Crimson
		One of Robert Fripp’s strengths has been his ability to stare down his detractors and go his own way; and King Crimson’s singular output is yet another example disproving the axiom of unimaginative musicians everywhere that nothing new can be done under the sun (conveniently excusing them from trying).
		At their best, King Crimson prove that art for art’s sake may not be such a bad thing after all.
		Crimson’ lyrics and music may be meant to reflect each other ironically and there are times when Fripp’s musical landscapes seem ominously existential, or impassively evil.

	King Crimson: In The Court Of The Crimson King - An Analysis by Andrew Keeling
		ITCOTCK is like a giant symphonic work in five movements, unified by a rising tone which is included as a localised event in 'I Talk to the Wind' (E-F# in the chorus) and 'Schizoid Man' (opening riff, Bb-C/F-G).
		However, King Crimson deal with the lunar aspect of the Schoenberg in a very different way: the moon, in the case of the King Crimson, is not the nightmarish soundworld of 'Pierrot...' but more to do with 'play'.
		The title piece of ITCOTCK was, according to Peter Sinfield (E-mail to Andrew Keeling, April 9, 2000), already written: 'a complete Dylanesque song that I had written both words and music for.' However Sinfield goes on to say that Ian McDonald rewrote the music to the words.

	Ground and Sky review - King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
		The moods created are very effective, and reminiscent of what was to come, though King Crimson had an agressive streak that nobody was quite able to match.
		Crimsons sound was unique, aggressive at one moment with "21st Century Schizoid Man" and atmospheric and full of subtleties on the next like "Moonchild".
		Though it's not the King Crimson album that gets the most spin time in my CD player, there are some fantastic moments on here.

	Interview with Sid Smith [www.progweed.net]
		Crimson fans are by and large extremely knowledgeable about the subject and have a capacity to retain a vast amount of tiny, niggly detail.
		Being in King Crimson had a profound effect on Gordon, and I think it's true that he felt very cheated for many years.
		I was astonished to read that Fripp wanted to enlist the services of Barry Godber for the cover for the second Crimson release without being appraised of his untimely death immediately after “In the Court of the Crimson King".

	Rolling Stone : King Crimson: In The Court Of The Crimson King : Music Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Each song on this album is a new movement of the same work, and King Crimson's favorite trick is to move suddenly and forcefully from thought to thought.
		King Crimson will probably be condemned by some for pompousness, but that criticism isn't really valid.
		Still, King Crimson's first album is successful; hopefully, there is more to come.

	The Court Of The Crimson King by King Crimson Songfacts
		There is a quote by Bill Bruford (Left YES for KC) that said, "King Crimson was one of the only gigs for a rock drummer where you could play in 17/16 and still stay in decent hotels." Nowadays if you play in any key other than 4/4 you would be sent to the London Philharmonic.
		crimson is probably the smartest rock band along with zappa to have ever walked the earth.
		King Crimson's most famous song, and ironically one of only two in the band's entire existence that Fripp did not co-write.

	King Crimson
		The only record from this period - "In The Court Of The Crimson King" - failed to convey the power of its live performance but hints at the intensity which characterises classic Crimson of any period.
		My own perspective on Crimson is obviously rather different from the other founder members of the 1969 band.
		My impression is that they consider their Crimson to be the only real Crimson, a view with which I have sympathy but disagree.

		The latest Crimson lineup of Fripp, Burrell, Collins, and Wallace emerged on-stage in April of 1971, and for the next year, King Crimson was a going concern, playing gigs across the globe.
		With King Crimson reduced to a trio of Fripp, Wetton, and Bruford, one more album, Red, was completed that summer with help from Cross and former members Mel Collins and Ian McDonald (who had gone on to fame and fortune as the co-founder of the arena rock band Foreigner).
		King Crimson remained silent for about a decade, as compilations and vintage live performances continued to trickle out (including the box sets Frame by Frame, which mostly covered classic studio material, and The Great Deceiver, which featured live performances from 1973-74).

		Because so much of King Crimson’s first album -- considered by many to be a groundbreaking progressive-rock work -- would today fall into the neo-progressive category.
		It was on this album, I think, that King Crimson managed to pull together the instrumental prowess and melodic nature of the album In The Wake Of Poseidon with the artiness of the album Lizard to produce a work that all KC fans could adore.
		(After Red, King Crimson would go on hiatus and not return until the 80s, with a brand-new sound that would rely heavily on the extraordinary guitar and vocals of Adrian Belew.) Red's intensity is the sound that newer KC-inspired bands such as Anekdoten borrow from today and is also a favorite among KC fans.

		It’s more than a quarter of a century since the eccentric, bespectacled Fripp formed King Crimson with schoolfriend Greg Lake (later of ELP fame) and launched it with the cacophonous ‘21st Century Schizoid Man’.
		Fripp was driving past the church in the village where he and wife Toyah Wilcox live, when he saw an apparition: a new King Crimson made up of six musicians — two trios: two guitars, two drums and two bass players.
		We’ve been seeing 18-year-old guys backstage who’ve borrowed In The Court Of The Crimson King from their fathers and think we’re just as hip as anything else around.

		In the life of any music fans, there are albums that change the way you perceive music-- "In the Court of the Crimson King" was, for me, one of them.
		The album was one of a kind-- while Crimson would continue and produce many stunning albums, McDonald and Giles abdicated leaving Fripp to continue.
		This is an effort that would never be repeated-- it also, unfortunately, established King Crimson as a progressive rock band, a sound that, by the mid-70s, they largely abandoned, and by the 80s, they totally turned their back on.

	King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
		An influentual album that stands up well, it is the definitive statement by the most powerful Crimson lineup (Fripp, Wetton and Bruford).
		This psychedelic window into the '60s simultaneously defined and mastered progressive rock, with songs ranging from the controlled cacophony of apocalyptic heavy metal epics to windblown English flute ballads, both poetic and moving.
		Crimson courtiers crown this debut as a groundbreaking, seminal work far ahead of its time, rife with popm, circumstance and bombast -- back when those things were cool.
