Our Take

In the grand scheme of progressive rock, there are few bands as influential and enigmatic as King Crimson. And with the 40th anniversary reissue of "Starless And Bible Black," they continue to prove why they are legends in the genre.

From the hauntingly beautiful title track to the mind-bending instrumental "Fracture," this album takes listeners on a sonic journey unlike anything else in the realm of music. The way Robert Fripp's guitar weaves intricate patterns alongside John Wetton's powerful vocals is nothing short of magic.

But what truly sets this album apart is the subtle nuances and complexities that reveal themselves upon each listen. It's like peeling back the layers of an onion, with each track offering something new and unexpected.

And let's not forget about the bonus material included in this anniversary edition. From alternate takes to unreleased tracks, there's plenty here to keep even the most die-hard Crimson fan satisfied.

So, whether you're a long-time fan or a newcomer to the world of King Crimson, "Starless And Bible Black" is an essential addition to any music lover's collection. Dive in and let yourself be carried away by the genius of this iconic band.

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.
