time to read too much into things but it's interesting to me that Fripp said two of his favourite King Crimson lineups are the 1972 lineup with Jamie Muir and then the 80s Discipline quartet, and specifically mentions the symmetry and internal balance of these formations. then i look at the cover art for the studio albums for these lineups and i'm like... yeah... i can tell it was on your mind

Shadow’s Showdown Chapter 55 - The Zero Hour.

Sarif Industries. David Sarif's office. The 0 hour.

The screen in Sarif's office, which had previously displayed a broadcast of a baseball game, now showed a map of the laboratories highlighted in red. An alarm vibrating in their ears sounded, and a robotic, female voice repeated in a loop: Environmental malfunction, laboratory sub-section six. All lab chiefs, please report in.

If no one sets the rules

King Crimson ~ The Court Of The Crimson King ~ ~ ~

~ ♫♪♫ ~

The rusted chains of prison moons Are shattered by the sun I walk a road, horizons change The tournament's begun The purple piper plays his tune The choir softly sing Three lullabies in an ancient tongue For the court of the crimson king

~ ♫♪♫ ~

The keeper of the city keys Put shutters on the dreams I wait outside the pilgrim's door With insufficient schemes The black queen chants the funeral march The cracked brass bells will ring To summon back the fire witch To the court of the crimson king

~ ♫♪♫♪♫ ~

The gardener plants an evergreen Whilst trampling on a flower I chase the wind of a prism ship To taste the sweet and sour The pattern juggler lifts his hand The orchestra begin As slowly turns the grinding wheel In the court of the crimson king

~ ♫♪♫♪♫ ~

On soft gray mornings widows cry The wise men share a joke I run to grasp divining signs To satisfy the hoax The yellow jester does not play But gently pulls the strings And smiles as the puppets dance In the court of the crimson king

~ ♫♪♫♪♫ ~

October 10, 1969: King Crimson released their prog-rock masterpiece, In the Court of the Crimson King. A hugely influential title, their debut record fused jazz and classical elements with rock music for an innovative new sound.

[robertfripp]

"If you ever wanted proof that King Crimson was a band in a hurry, consider this: by the time In The Court Of The Crimson King was released in October 1969, the band had been together less than nine months."

"The dynamic contents of the record, and it's equally arresting cover art by Barry Godber, assured the album entered the Top 10 on both sides of the Atlantic. It was Fripp's idea to subtitle the album An Observation By King Crimson, lending the five pieces an implicit concept while retaining a slightly mysterious edge."

"It was also Fripp's suggestion that there be no print anywhere on the exterior artwork. [King Crimson's co-manager John] Gaydon recalls Island Records being worried about objections from retailers. "Fripp said, 'Well, it'll be the only record in the stop without anything down the spine on it, so they'll know which one it is.' Which was brilliant when you think about it."
