It contains no bonus tracks and comes in a jewel case.)<BR><BR>After the transitional ISLANDS, LARK'S TONGUES began the third Crimson phase that continued with STARLESS and ended with RED. The quartet of David Cross, John Wetton, Robert Fripp and Bill Bruford (augmented on LARK'S TONGUES by madman percussionist Jamie Muir) is regarded as the most innovative of Crimson's many lineups, offering hard-edged improvisations on an unprecedented level. With founding member/lyricist Pete Sinfield departed, Robert Palmer-James stepped in with a more cutting, concise lyrical approach that matched the group's uncompromising instrumental precision.<BR><BR>STARLESS takes the furious improvisational style inaugurated by it's predecessor and takes it to new heights. Tunes like "We'll Let You Know" and "Fracture," while based around typically devilish Fripp guitar figures and complicated time signatures, lean heavily on the spontaneity of the band's no-holds-barred interaction for their fireworks. The drumless "Trio" is 100 percent improvisation and inspiration. "The Great Deceiver" is about as close to a standard "rock" tune as STARLESS gets, Wetton's throaty vocals leading the charge. Even on this, one of Crimson's pointiest, nastiest efforts, there's room for a poignant ballad, "The Night Watch," which ranks among the band's best. <BR><BR> Track Listing:<BR> Great Deceiver, The <BR> Lament <BR> We'll Let You Know <BR> Night Watch, The <BR> Trio <BR> Mincer, The <BR> Starless And Bible Black <BR> Fracture <BR><BR>King Crimson: John Wetton (vocals, bass); Robert Fripp (guitar, mellotron); David Cross (violin, viola, keyboards); William Bruford (percussion). <BR> <BR></P> <P> <LI>SKU: DGM0506 </P> <P><B>Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/bruford/Category13" TITLE="Bill Bruford with King Crimson">Bill Bruford with King Crimson</A>:</B> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/bruford/Product49 TITLE="King Crimson - VROOOM">King Crimson - VROOOM</A> -- VROOOM is a sneak preview of the band's first week of rehearsals during May of 1994. <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/bruford/Product47 TITLE="King Crimson - THRAK">King Crimson - THRAK</A> -- Remastered by Robert Fripp <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/bruford/Product51 TITLE="King Crimson - VROOOM VROOOM">King Crimson - VROOOM VROOOM</A> -- A double CD compilation from concerts in Mexico City and New York during 1996. <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/bruford/Product37 TITLE="King Crimson - Absent Lovers">King Crimson - Absent Lovers</A> -- A 2 CD set taken from the final show of the 1981-84 King Crimson at Le Spectrum in Montreal. <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/bruford/Product38 TITLE="King Crimson - B'Boom">King Crimson - B'Boom</A> -- Recorded direct from the mixing desk of King Crimson's return to active service in Buenos Aires in 1994. <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/bruford/Product40 TITLE="King Crimson - The Great Deceiver">King Crimson - The Great Deceiver</A> -- 4 CD Box set with scrapbook. <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/bruford/Product90 TITLE="King Crimson - Discipline">King Crimson - Discipline</A> -- The 30th Anniversary Edition <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/bruford/Product91 TITLE="King Crimson - Larks' Tongues in Aspic">King Crimson - Larks' Tongues in Aspic</A> -- 30th Anniversary Edition <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/bruford/Product73 TITLE="King Crimson - Neal and Jack and Me - Live 1982-1984 (DVD)">King Crimson - Neal and Jack and Me - Live 1982-1984 (DVD)</A> -- DVD of King Crimson in the 1980's.
