We lost a big one today (yesterday)...

Peter Sinfield 1943-2024

Lyricist of King Crimson, Emerson Lake and Palmer, and lots more. Not only a lyricist, but a historical figure in prog rock and music.

Im in shock 😭

I’ve been listening to both the live (‘69) version and the album version of Epitaph. His voice is uncannily mature for a 21-22 year old. The song is as relatable today as it was then.

King Crimson releases In the Court of the Crimson King, which is considered by many as the first Progressive Rock album.

For all greg lake/elp fangirls, here you have an amazing (but short) track, thats almost only clean-voice greg singing. Also this is a lovely underrated album (that may sound "too much alike" to its predecesor but is still good).

Give it a shot if you care.

Cadence and Cascade is a gorgeous song, so calm. Same with "peace - a theme" (only instrumental). Theres also a more funky and psych track, "Cat food" wich i love, but its also really hated by lots heh.

Most of the songs in the album are sang by Greg! Weirdly enough, i didnt realize this till two or three weeks ago when i first listened to it. Its kind of a forgotten King Crimson album.

This was released only a couple of months before elp released their first album, and when KC original formation was falling apart, then Fripp kinda saved all and changed the sound of the band, but it was a breaking point.

If you liked ITCOTCK, you are probably going to like this!

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
