king crimson


"King Crimson is a group from England formed in 1969 by guitarist Robert Fripp and drummer Michael Giles. Though originally an all-British musical group, later members have included a number of Americans, most notably Adrian Belew and Tony Levin.

The name King Crimson was coined by Peter Sinfield as a synonym for Beelzebub, prince of demons."


My Rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"In The Court Of The Crimson King" is widely considered to be the first ever progressive rock album. Very tasty. Every band member is extremely proficient at their instrument, there are some jazzy elements involved, and the reed solos are awesome. All around a very unique album.
