King Crimson - Larks' Tongues In Aspic
(double cd/box set/cd-dvda)
Larks' Tongues In Aspic, from 1973, is widely regarded as one of the truly great King Crimson albums.
With its raw tone, inspired improvisations and hard hitting odd-metered rhythms, the album marked a radical departure for this most forward thinking of groups and was the first to include Bill Bruford and John Wetton as band members.

I own that album, bought it from a friend who was getting out of the army before me, and just didnt want to pack all that damn vinyl away, so i handed him a dollar a piece, and i hauled home Lou reed,velvet underground, king crimson, several classic yes albums, and several other bands i never listened to, as well as a bunch i did know well.
I have since become a fan of robert fripp influnced artists, and adrian ballew who later worked with this bunch, but have never listened to or bought any other albums by any of them.
Still have never removed this album from cover since that day , as i did with them all to make sure they were in good shape, they were all like new.
Im gonna get it out this weekend and give it a spinhumpty dumpty was pushed
