Our Take

Ah, King Crimson—the band that never fails to keep us on our toes with their constantly evolving sound and mind-bending musicianship. With their latest live album, "Music Is Our Friend (Live In Washington & Albany 2021)," they once again prove why they are considered legends in the world of progressive rock.

From the opening notes of "Larks' Tongues in Aspic, Part One," to the epic closing track "Starless," this album is a rollercoaster of intricate instrumentals and virtuosic performances. Robert Fripp's guitar work is as sharp as ever, effortlessly weaving in and out of complex time signatures with a mastery that leaves us mere mortals in awe.

But it's not just Fripp who shines on this record. The entire band is firing on all cylinders, creating a sonic tapestry that is as mesmerising as it is challenging. Tracks like "Indiscipline" and "Epitaph" showcase King Crimson's ability to blend beauty and chaos in a way that few other bands can.

If you're a fan of progressive rock, this album is a must-listen. It captures King Crimson at the height of their powers, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the genre. So sit back, put on your headphones, and let the music take you on a journey you won't soon forget. King Crimson truly are our friends, and we are grateful for the gift of their music.

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.
