Bubba69 Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 That's kind of what I thought. I think I can hear the part where the chord jumps and octave but there is still a bass note descending at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psn Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 can somebody explain to me what the fucking is going on in this. It sounds like the chords are constantly descending, like a shepherd's tone or scale or something. Fucking does my head in every time. Yeah, it's a Shepard tone. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shepard_tone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baph Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 KC are basically the only prog band that aren't completely embarrassing on some deep level. I mean, there's plenty of embarassing shit, though: I'm looking at you, Islands. ITCOTKC LTIA RED DISCIPLINE ^This is the good shit right here. Discipline is my favorite, and it's the only Belew era KC I love from beginning to end. Also, Matte Kudasai is the only good King Crimson ballad ever.

baph Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I think the worst part of Islands is honestly the lyrics. Some of that is so cringe-inducing. Just listening to Ladies of the Road makes me feel like a misogynistic creepy old man. I guess there's some shit lyrics on Larks' Tongues in Aspic, too, but the instrumentation/arrangement makes up for it in awesome. I basically just wish King Crimson were all instrumental all the time with the exception of the debut, Red, and Discipline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShammenDelly Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Great to see King Crimson getting some love on WATMM Everything up until adrian belew joined is amazing, cant stand their 80s and 90s era, and Adrian Belew is a big sleazy predator cunt. Well anyways some tunes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQqCyy1ACk0 Great Version of I Talk To the wind from Gile Giles and Fripp (before king crimson) This needs to be played up full blast http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97Ydq-NU2Iw&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremymacgregor87 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 God I've been needing a thread like this; my love of KC has been on the wane. VROOOM VROOOM ('96) usually brings me back. no youtubes unfortunately. It's worth checking out if you were never into the Belew era; a lot of Larks, Red, ITCOTKC there too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest couch Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I love Court. Can you imagine how that would have been coming out in 1969 and having it start with Schizoid Man. Mind blown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest yikes Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 i am in no way comparing radiohead to KC -but just the mere existence of KC's early works kills poser shit like raidiohead[and many other modern rock bands] null and void in my brain i only have so many listening hours on earth do i listen to OK computer or kid a or starless live or fracture live in 73 the choice is so clear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubba69 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 That album is really good. I actually got into king crimson by starting with their 90s stuff and working my way backwards to three of a perfect pair(underrated album) then back up to the very latest, construkction of light and the power to believe and the eps that lead up to those albums, then went back towards Red and am now really into the older stuff right now. Court of the crimson king is great. I also have really liked starless and bible black on recent listens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beerwolf Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Funny how we change as we get older. I bought In The Court of the Crimson King when I was about 17. I played it once, thought it the gayest/wimpiest/fluffiest load of nonsence I had ever heard and took it back to the shop demanding a return. I swapped it for Public Image Ltd by PiL. The geezer working behind the counter laughed and said no wonder it wasn't my cup of tea. Now older and wiser, I see the error of my ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
