I'm a new fan who just completed King Crimson's studio discography and want to discuss some of their works, which I think are mostly brilliant.

Something I noticed amongst some fans here and in other online spaces is that whilst In the Wake of Poseidon is generally liked, it doesn't seem to get as much attention as some other early King Crimson works such as In the Court of the Crimson King or Larks' Tongues In Aspic.

I'm curious as to why that is. The album is structurally similar to In the Court of the Crimson King (which is my favorite album in the lineup, and its also easily the most influential KC album). In the Wake of Poseidon retains a lot of the same vibe as well. I get some people may say its a bit samey, but I'd say that's a good thing considering the tumultuous history of the band, right?

It may not be as groundbreaking as the original album but I'd figured it'd be held in similar esteem. I mean this album has some bangers on it, especially Pictures of a City.

Wanted to know if anyone else noticed this trend of this album flying under the radar of KC fans a bit. Or maybe you can correct me and point me out as the outlier... I am a brand new fan after all!

It's by far my favorite album by the band, just because of how it tears you apart and then puts you back together, but I see a lot of people online saying it's one of their weaker albums.

Lizard also has a lot of great tracks (Cirkus, mainly), but I saw even Fripp himself dislikes it??

Just watched the music video to Sleepless, and it is notably different than the album version or the live version I heard during the BEAT shows this year. Slightly different structure, and one of the choruses has no guitar in it. Is this how the song was originally released on the album, or is this some sort of alternate mix used for the video?

So I've read many times that the lyrics to Indiscipline were adapted from a letter written by either Adrian Belew or his wife about a piece of art one of them made. I've heard people say it's both a sculpture and a painting, but I was never able to find a primary source, so I was curious if there's any definitive information on what the letter actually was about and who wrote it, and more importantly if there exists a photograph of the piece of art the letter is about. Of course this all assumes that the letter and the painting/sculputure are real, I've also heard it said that they may not exist at all. Thanks!

I'm a long-time KC fan. Deep into the 1970s era and the 1990s Thrak stuff. But somehow the 1980s escaped me.

What music, beyond or deeper into Discipline, Beat, and Three of a Perfect Pair I can listen to in the intervening days that would really enrich the experience?

Both are good songs. They are heavy and they contain heavy notes. Both are good in their own way, but I might still prefer VROOOM VROOOM. Share your opinion.

Both are good songs. They are heavy and contain heavy notes. They also resemble each other a lot. Still, in my opinion, both are good in their own way, but I maybe still like VROOOM VROOOM little bit more. Tell us your opinion about the song.

Hi all!

I know there are lot's of argentinians in this sub, so, if you don't already know, the David Cross Band is playing this wednesday 4/12 21hs at the Teatro ND.

I will definitely be there, but as of now, I'm going alone. There are some 2x1 promotions for some tickets, so if you are also of thinking of going solo and didn't buy a ticket yet, DM me!

What I now is a phoney Tony site nearly had me. Elaborate scheme via Facebook and Telegram to get me to pay $150 for a “fan card”. These guys are good and tenacious. The “publicist” lost me when he asked if I had cash app.
