Anybody Like Classical Music?

[Zoot Allures]

King Crimson Lark tongue in aspic part one was experimental rock made classic.
They brought in a jazz percustionist, Jamie Muir, who does the tinkle sounds.
Great showman. I saw Muir perform and he dressed up like a caveman with blood on his face making sounds by throwing chains around the stage

Great compsers are now in rock not classical

larks tongue in aspic part two. A MUCH GREATER work IMHO than version one.

Part one, above, was very bold and interesting but this version evolves into some amazing music. Percussionist Muir is not with the band at this point so no more experiential percussion sounds, experiential guitar work takes over.

larks tongue in aspic refers to best parts of the piece. They are the beautiful larks tougue surrounded by the aspic which is the music that builds up to the larks tongue

What an amazing title

 

[Zoot Allures]

played this version with some other psychonauts on magic mushroom

your brain rewires itself and your senses sharpen. It was extremely beautuful music that you understood,
each note a human emotion, questions asked, answers given.
But it was not imaginary, as that is what the classical composers were doing.

I've never heard Lark's Tounge in Aspic, Robert Fripp was a genius. He was also notoriously difficult to work with, his original band had Greg Lake, Ian McDonald and Michael Giles as part of it. He had the power trio of himself John Wetton and Bill Bruford. and played a significant role in perhaps David Bowie's best album; Scary Monsters. I was surprised when I heard Starless and Bible Black as the soundtrack to Nicolas Cage's Mandy.

Considered the best drum performance by Neil Peart.

The Bowie/Fripp album.

The Japanese singer on this song is Michi Hirota not Yoko Ono as most believed.

Dear Insidious,

WTF is up with your name? Sounds like someone who would like good music.

Larks tongue was their first big album , I think, or was it the The court of the crimson king?


Revolutionary long cuts strictly music no rock and improvised and I imagine Fripp had concepts and high standards so yes,
people like that are demanding as they have to be.

Larks Tongue 2 was better than 1 but that is taste. It was more structured.

I heard Fripp give lecture at Waterloo university as he payed his guitar. It was as intellectual as you would expect. .

I heard Bruford talk about the influence of jazz percustionist, Jamie Muir, who does the tinkle sounds, on the album.
Jazz is improvisation.
