Almost There....

This album, along with the previous LARKS' TONGUES IN ASPIC, is Crimson's run-up to RED, which is the only truly great Crimson album prior to their 80s masterpieces.
With Bruford added to the lineup, TONGUES sets the stage for the transformation, and STARLESS nudges it to the doorstep. Listen to "The Great Deceiver" and "Fracture" and you will see the door nudge open just a bit, allowing a tantalizing peek into RED.

"I think it has some best art quality (for me)in all KC albums as well as ISLANDS ,though they have a little distance from classic(S&BB is closer to be a classic)
So I love it more than other KC ones,and more specially.
1. The Great Deceiver
2. Lament
3. We'll Let You Know
4. The Night Watch
5. Trio
6. The Mincer
7. Starless And Bible Black
8. Fracture
Prog Classic ! Recommended as well as Red,Islands,Lizard,Lark's .and surely their first one!
KING CRIMSON is one of the few bands that will amaze and amuse you so much!
