Our Take

If the 1970s could be condensed into a vinyl record, it would undoubtedly sound like KING CRIMSON's latest album "Usain British English." This eclectic mix of prog-rock, jazz fusion, and experimental soundscapes is a sonic journey that will leave you both bewildered and fascinated.

From the opening track "Crazy Time Signature Parade" to the epic finale "Incomprehensible lyrics," KING CRIMSON takes listeners on a rollercoaster ride of tempo changes, intricate guitar solos, and bizarre time signatures. It's like trying to solve a Rubik's Cube while riding a rollercoaster blindfolded - challenging, exhilarating, and at times downright confusing.

One standout track is "Trombone Solo in E Flat Minor," which features a jaw-dropping trombone solo that will make you question everything you thought you knew about the instrument. And let's not forget the haunting vocals on "Fish Out of Water," which showcase KING CRIMSON's ability to blend beauty and chaos in the most captivating way.

Overall, "Usain British English" is a testament to KING CRIMSON's remarkable talent and creativity. It's a bold and daring album that pushes the boundaries of what rock music can be. So strap in, crank up the volume, and prepare to be taken on a musical journey like no other. Just make sure you're wearing your seatbelt - things are about to get wild.

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.
