This could very well become my favourite King Crimson album, I certainly put it above 'Larks' for musicality. For me this one has the slight edge over 'In the Wake of Poseidon' but not by a lot. There is much more flute and sax and overall it has a much more jazzy light feel than 'Larks'. A prog masterpiece in its own right and still with lashings of Mellotron to drool over!

This is a vastly underrated album. I am guilty of this also, having owned it on CD for a couple of years, I have never actually taken time to properly sit down and listen, rather I tend to have it on as background music in the car while driving, an issue I have with myself and many CD's in my collection. Having now got hold of the vinyl re-issue I have addressed this situation. If you are into your keyboards, the title track kicks off with some great Mellotron strings and the Mellotron provides a more soft string sound throughout this track, a sample tape quite different to the opening harsher string sound. The title track from this album is one of my all time favourite King Crimson tracks. The Mellotron is again used to amazing effect on 'The Devils Triangle' helping to create a truly terrifying atmosphere in parts. Superb!
