Our Take

Brace yourself, dear readers, for a journey into the avant-garde abyss with King Crimson's "Lizard." This Japanese Import edition of the album takes their signature blend of prog rock to new heights, or should I say depths?

From the moment you press play, you're catapulted into a cacophony of chaotic beauty. The intricate guitar work of Robert Fripp weaves its way through each track like a musical tapestry, while the jazzy saxophone stylings of Mel Collins add a layer of sophistication that is truly captivating.

The title track, "Lizard," is an epic 23-minute opus that will transport you to another dimension. With its shifting time signatures and mind-bending lyrics, it's a true masterpiece of progressive rock. But don't let me forget to mention the haunting vocals of Gordon Haskell, whose emotive delivery adds an extra layer of depth to each song.

Tracks like "Cirkus" and "Indoor Games" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend elements of jazz, rock, and classical music into a seamless sonic tapestry. And let's not forget the album artwork, a surreal masterpiece that perfectly captures the essence of King Crimson's unique sound.

In conclusion, "Lizard" is a bold and daring album that pushes the boundaries of what rock music can be. If you're a fan of complex, experimental music that will challenge and delight your senses, then this album is a must-listen. Cheers to King Crimson for once again reminding us that the best art is often the most challenging.

About the artist

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.
