Our Take

King Crimson's "In The Wake Of Poseidon" is a mesmerising journey through the eccentric minds of prog rock legends. This album is a wild rollercoaster ride of complex melodies, intricate instrumentation, and mind-bending time signatures that will leave you scratching your head in awe.

From the haunting vocals of Greg Lake to the blistering guitar solos of Robert Fripp, every member of the band brings their A-game to this record. The title track is a 10-minute epic that transports listeners to another dimension with its lush orchestrations and swirling guitars.

Tracks like "Pictures of a City" and "Cadence and Cascade" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend jazz, classical, and rock influences into a cohesive and captivating sound.

But it's not all serious business for King Crimson. The band's quirky sense of humour shines through on songs like "Cat Food" and "The Devil's Triangle," adding a playful element to their otherwise intense musical compositions.

Overall, "In The Wake Of Poseidon" is a must-listen for any fan of progressive rock music. It's a masterpiece of musicianship and creativity that solidifies King Crimson's place in the pantheon of rock gods. So grab your headphones, sit back, and let the magic of King Crimson wash over you like a tsunami of sonic bliss. Trust us, you won't regret it.

King Crimson

King Crimson, the enigmatic British progressive rock band, is a veritable chameleon in the music industry. With a career spanning over five decades, the group has continuously pushed the boundaries of rock music, blending elements of jazz, classical, and avant-garde to create a sound that is uniquely their own. Led by the visionary Robert Fripp, King Crimson has seen a revolving door of talent over the years, with each iteration bringing its own distinct flavour to the band's sound. From the haunting melodies of "In the Court of the Crimson King" to the experimental sonics of "Larks' Tongues in Aspic," their discography is a testament to their commitment to innovation and evolution. But what truly sets King Crimson apart is their live performances. Renowned for their improvisational skills and fearless musical exploration, the band's shows are a sonic spectacle like no other. With intricate arrangements, complex time signatures, and mind-bending solos, King Crimson never fails to captivate audiences and leave them in a state of awe. Despite their cult following and critical acclaim, King Crimson remains a somewhat elusive figure in the music industry. With a mystique that is as captivating as their music, the band continues to defy categorisation and challenge the status quo. Love them or hate them, one thing is for certain – King Crimson will always be a force to be reckoned with in the world of progressive rock.
