King Crimson - Red[views:3841][posts:12]_________________________________________ [Oct 16,2008 1:51pm - Conservationist ""] [img] King Crimson moved retrograde to the tendency to dumb down the medium into image and trivial yet novel variations on accepted form, and with Red the band reached a climax, fusing simplicity with a need for subliminal elegance and a finding a transcendental recognition of the relative balance between structure and content, fulfilling the prophetic words of Ornette Coleman: "The pattern for a tune, for instance, will be forgotten and the tune itself will be the pattern."

| _______________________________ [Oct 16,2008 1:56pm - aril ""] Love this album. Still not my favorite by them though; nothing beats ITCOTCK. |
| __________________________________________ [Oct 16,2008 2:04pm - corpus_colostomy ""] approved. |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 16,2008 2:08pm - ThirdKnuckle ""] The bass sound on this record is one I've tried to emulate for years; perfect |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 16,2008 2:48pm - ouchdrummer ""] The drumming on this is exceptional. I love his use of paradiddles/paradiddlediddles/doubleparradiddles between the china and the snare. Great stuff. The last tune starless is sad as holy hell. All great songs though. |

I love the single notes Fripp plays during the verses on "one more red nightmare" so tasteful and minimal yet they have such a huge impact. I love his guitar tone on the record too. |
