Fripp and Wilcox Stick out Larks’ Tongues - in Aspic - from the Court of the Crimson Strings

Toyah Willcox plays the role of a last-place rhythmic gymnast as Robert Fripp reels off guitar licks and serves up some “Larks’ Tongues in Aspic Pt. 4” in the couple’s latest “Sunday Lunch” episode.

This differs from preceding dishes in many ways. One: it’s a King Crimson number. Two: Willcox doesn’t have any lyrics to sing. Three: Fripp welcomes viewers at the beginning, rather than the end, of the clip. And four: the video comes not from the kitchen but from a cavernous vacant room that looks otherwise abandoned.

Let’s call it the court of the crimson strings.

Vive la différence.

King Crimson - Larks' Tongues In Aspic Part I

Robert Fripp guitar & Mellotron, John Wetton bass & vocals, Bill Bruford, drums & percussion, David Cross violin, Mellotron, electric piano, Jamie Muir percussion & allsorts. Appears on Larks' Tongues In Aspic (1973)

Dave Thompson @ Goldmine: "Larks' Tongue might not be everyone’s go-to Crimson album, but at its super-best it’s up there with any, and that includes Crimson King whose own forensic recreation of the original sessions (in that record’s 50th box set) remains one of the must-listen archive hauls of recent years."

Jonathan Cornell @ Immersive Audio Album: "This may be a difficult purchase to justify for fans who already own the 30th and 40th anniversary editions, but I’d argue that it's definitive Larks release and the only one you need for your collection."
