King Crimson Compilation page
Hi! Welcome to my homepage!
King Crimson's Best Work
When I first picked this cassette up, I was amazed at how much outstanding material was on it! I only wish that the record company would release this
particular album on remastered cd! Contained within this masterpiece are: "Epitaph," "I Talk To The Wind," "Moonchild" and "The Court Of The Crimson King" from
In The Court Of The Crimson King, "Cadence And Cascade," "Peace: A Theme" and "Cat Food" from In The Wake Of Poseidon, "Ladies Of The Road" from
Islands, "Book Of Saturday" and "Coda From Larks' Tongues In Aspic Part One" from Larks' Tongues In Aspic, "The Night Watch" and "Trio" from Starless &
Bible Black. Also, it contains the single, "Groon" and "Red" and "Starless" from Red! An outstanding compilation!
ANOTHER GREAT COMPILATION
Taking the best selections of songs from King Crimson's early modern period albums and from In The Court Of The Crimson King, this is another one of King Crimson's masterpieces! "Discipline," "Thela Hun Ginjeet," "Matte
Kudasai," "Frame By Frame" and "Elephant Talk" hail from Discipline. "Three Of A Perfect Pair" and "Sleepless" hail from Three Of A Perfect Pair. "Heartbeat" comes from Beat and "21st Century Schizoid Man,"
"I Talk To The Wind," "Epitaph," Including: (MARCH FOR NO REASON AND TOMORROW AND TOMORROW) and "In The Court Of The Crimson King" (including: THE RETURN OF THE FIREWITCH AND THE DANCE OF THE PUPPETS) are from Court! Each of these pieces represent
King Crimson at it's most minimal and it's most majestic! Each work is finely crafted like a piece of fine gold!
Many critics consider this King Crimson's best work! True, it contains a large amount of great music, but it also contains an extraordinary amount of noise! There are three
reasons that I do not give this collection the coveted 5 star designation: 1. The inclusion of Fracture from Starless And Bible Black, instead of the far superior "Trio" from the same album! 2. The shortened version of "Starless," from Red, the 12 minute version is
much better! 3. The exclusion of "Exiles" from Larks' Tongues In Aspic! Other than these three
exclusions, Frame By Frame is still a great cd compilation! I only wish that the lyrics had been included in the booklet, also!
The great parts about this compilation, include the inclusion of: In The Court Of The Crimson King(in its entirety), the better parts of Discipline and Poseidon.
KING CRIMSON'S BEST STUDIO COMPILATION ON CD
Another fantastic cd compilation which has superior sound, The Concise King Crimson is a combination of
Compact and A Young Person's Guide. It contains: "21st Century Schizoid Man" and "Epitaph" from Court and also
an abridged version of "In The Court Of The Crimson King." "Cat Food" from Poseidon, "Ladies Of The Road" from Islands,
"Red" and "Fallen Angel" from Red and also an abridged version of "Starless." Additionally, "Elephant Talk," "Frame By Frame" and "Matte Kudasai" from Discipline, "Hearbeat" from Beat and "Three Of A Perfect Pair" and "Sleepless" from Three Of A
Perfect Pair. An absolutely delightful collection!
