King Crimson - Red (1974, U.K.) Progressive Rock


"This was released when!?" King Crimson had always been ahead of the curve what with popularising/inventing prog and all and Red continues with the Fripp genius in what is truly a timeless classic. I thinkwhat makes this one seems so modern is that it doesn't sound like it was even influenced by anything around at the time. I think it almost sounds kinda 90's on the title track and it's doppleganger with the heavy riffs and dark melodies. Beefy riffage, catchy choruses, tech drums (Bill Bruford!) - get it, it conjures up some strange images and emotions.

Track List:

1 Red 6:20
2 Fallen Angel 6:00
3 One More Red Nightmare 7:07
4 Providence 8:08
5 Starless 12:18
