I was introduced to King Crimson in 1969 at the vulnerable age of twelve with the opening salvo of "Twenty-First Century Schizoid Man" and the album ITCOTCK. I followed them up until Islands, but got briefly lost with LTIA and SABB, before the penny dropped upon hearing Red. I then rapidly re-explored the pervious two records and realised what was going on. Fracture began to burn into my brain, initiated by LTIAP2 and culminating in finally grasping LTIAP1. Something profound happened post Islands which has retained my obsession with KC and later Robert's solo work. Along with Brian Eno and Frank Zappa KC and the Fripp regularly feature on my play list. Thank you Mr Fripp for over fifty years of sonic wonderment.

Being 51, I feel lucky to have seen King Crimson as the triple duo in 1995. I enjoy every era of King Crimson. Though I'll admit that Islands is my least favorite. The Wetton era was truly monstrous! Damn shame that John died in January 2017. Thank goodness I also got to see the original Asia in 2010.

@Alun49 Жыл бұрын

@@DavidLazarus I agree re; Islands. Even though Fripp is dismissive of the flawed Lizard, I think its a better album. The track Islands does break into a great end section though. The Bruford/Wetton era though was truly great.

The old Kahler tremolo is my favorite too. Like everything advertised as salvation from tuning troubles, the strings go out of tune. But that’s just playing guitar. Tuning up is unavoidable, and whatever means the player prefers for bending notes and for tuning up after the music stops is what the player should use. Your sharing of your playing suggestions is most welcome. The trips to the garden are good fun as well. Thanks for doing this series.

My inner guitar nerd thanks you immensely every time you bring out that beautiful classic Gibson(a Gibson from when Gibson was actually great.) Fracture for me, is one of the finest pieces of music ever written for the Electric guitar period. So very nice to see your magnificent garden which is musically inspirational in itself. Finally so amazing that with even a casual playing for yourself there was only a single bollocks on a run through and so very sad your battery died. My recommendation is always Energizer batteries as they tend to outlast the majority of manufacturers out there. They even do lithium 9V batteries as well to add extra running time. Not sure what you use, but felt compelled to add that information for you. May you and Toyah continue to Rock on and have the best of fun.

June 19, 1974. Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles. Row 14 on the aisle. (Funny I remember all that, but it was a memorable evening.) It was during Fracture that two fellows sitting next to me, who had been getting more and more agitated and disoriented lost control of themselves. One grabbed my collar and shouted "This is a funeral! This is a f***ing funeral. We're all DEAD!" at which point, they leapt over me, ran up the aisle screaming and never came back. I think there were many unseen forces at work that night.

agree fully! the thing that strikes me of what can be seen of it is how seemingly staid/classical the accumulation seems to be & i wonder how familiar he might be with so-called avantgarde literature, as best exampled in England by, say, Bob Cobbing & Dom Sylvester Houédard (who were both responsible for the amazing magazine focussing exclusively on sound poetry, KROKLOK - the ony such periodical anywhere/anytime, so far as i'm aware). it seems that most folks who're relentlessly inventive/investigative in their own genres rarely are so in their appreciations elsewise (avantgarde writer prefers landscape paintings & Broadway show tunes; avantgarde painter prefers the blues & gothic horror; avantgarde composer prefers sonnets & hyperreal drawings of cats) & one can't help but wonder what's in those tomes. we know he's familiar with Tom Phillips (cover of "Starless And Bible Black" - which includes an outtake from his "A Humument" project, which, despite its relentlessly investigative approach, is still firmly grounded in straightforwardly linear narrative structures, falling more into the category of "illuminated text" than "visual poetry") but HOW familiar & does the (presumed) interest extend beyond Phillips (who is, after all, far more "accessible" (in all ways) than the likes of Cobbing, Houédard & their cronies)? how'bout it, Robert? what's on those shelves?
