New light in the Black - this review is for the cd only

The Best King Crimson album - cleaned and more shiny

Something... crazy

This record , in the form of the title track , is really the first example of Fripps now characteristic manic guitar style . Read the full review

Red hot
For me, "Red" is the definitive King Crimson album, and one of the best rock albums of this or any other era. Read the full review

Migraine sufferers beware!
My brother bought the first King Crimson album (In the court...) and I was hooked! Robert Fripp has always been the antithesis of 'relaxing background music', so if you want some... Read the full review

In The Wake of In The Court
Following "In The Court Of The Crimson King", "In The Wake Of Poseidon" was all the more remarkable, in that it contained half of the original group. Read the full review

Simply an amazing record, picturing one of the most powerful bands of all time. Worth every spent penny. Read the full review

Awesome!
My favourite King Crimson album. It has everything that was ever great about early Crimson (and it seemed, both at the time and now) to perfectly sum up the band's first phase... Read the full review

Great for a progressive rock fan
One of the best prog rock album ever made, great for who enjoyed other King Crimson albums from the period of 69-75.
