Biografia

Os King Crimson são um grupo musical inglês formado pelo guitarrista Robert Fripp e pelo baterista Michael Giles em 1969. O estilo musical da banda costuma ser categorizado como rock progressivo, mas a sua sonoridade carrega vários estilos, como jazz, música erudita, new wave, heavy metal e folk.

Uma parte considerável da história dos Crimson consiste nas várias mudanças que foram ocorrendo na banda ao longo dos anos, sendo Robert Fripp o único elemento consistente do grupo, embora ele diga que não se considera o líder … , e que para ele os King Crimson são “uma forma de fazer coisas”, e a consistência musical que tem persistido ao longo da história da banda, apesar da rotação dos seus membros, demonstra bem este ponto de vista.

Origem

Robert Fripp e Michael Giles começaram a discutir a formação da banda em Novembro de 1968, pouco antes da separação de Giles, Giles and Fripp uma banda que teve uma duração efémera e sem sucesso. Os primeiros músicos que se lhes juntaram foram: o vocalista e guitarrista Greg Lake, para tocar baixo, o poeta e letrista Peter Sinfield e o compositor Ian McDonald, sendo esta a primeira encarnação dos King Crimson. O nome da banda King Crimson, “o Rei Escarlate”, significa e representa o Sol.

Em Janeiro de 1969 o grupo ensaiou pela primeira vez. Em Julho daquele ano, a banda se apresentou no famoso show gratuito no Hyde Park em Londres organizado pelos Rolling Stones. No decorrer desse ano foi editado o primeiro álbum, In The Court of the Crimson King. A sonoridade do disco de estréia trazia vários elementos pouco ortodoxos para o rock naquele tempo, incluindo a influência de música erudita e jazz.

    Not a strong moment on Thrak? Most of that album is memorable as fuck: VROOOM, Dinosaur, Walking on Air, People, One Time, B'Boom/THRAK, Sex Sleep Eat Drink Dream... I dunno, man. Then again it was one of the first King Crimson albums I got into, so maybe I have a disproportional amount of love for it. Even on its own, though, I think it's one of the finer prog rock albums of the 90s.

    Maybe it's because most of my buddies seem to put Red on a pedestal. I like the softer side of KC, so maybe that's why.

    I don't see anything bizarre in that.

  • guyraddudeman

    I always considered myself bizarre for liking things in this order: Poseidon, Islands, It Cock, Larks, Lizard, Red, Starless, Discipline, everything else. I'm glad I'm not the only one, but yeah, a lot is borrowed from It Cock within Poseidon. Doesn't bother me though.

    and again, i say this as someone who enjoys quite a few of the songs off ITWOP, like the title track and pictures of a city. great songs. too bad they're just rewrites of ITCOCK and 21st Century Schizoid Man.

  • Smekermann

    Itcock is not even my favorite Crimson album, by far. It was, however, hugely important for the prog rock scene and is probably one of the most important albums in rock music, solely due to it coming out before the likes of Black Sabbath - s/t or Deep Purple's In Rock, which makes 21st Century Schizoid Man one of the first metal songs ever recorded. ITWOP, by comparison, didn't have any of these advantages. It was just a prog rock album retreading the same ground ITCOCK treaded before. Sure, some of the songs are pretty good, but they're nowhere near the same level as their previous release.

  • Smekermann

    nahh, sorry bro. itwop is not better than it cock. and moonchild is definitely not better than I Talk to the Wind. are you referring to the edit or something? Regardless, I Talk to the Wind is one of their best early songs, I do have to wonder what drugs you're on imo :(

  • Ponchera-

    And who fucking cares if it is innovative or not, ITWOP sounds better than ITCOCK, dot. And yes, Moonchild is better tthan the shity nice random melody from I talk to the wind .I.

  • Smekermann

    also lol at the album cover being bad. guyruddedudemann, it's not bad, it's just kind of a "me too" album that doesn't really innovate or do anything other than ride the coat tails of it cock.

  • MrLlamaLlamaa

    Lol @ Moonchild being better than others of the album. This is the first time someone said that, ever.
