This thirteen disc, memorabilia crammed, out-take and live show enhanced, fortieth anniversary big box refit of Larks’ Tongues in Aspic scrutinizes King Crimson’s fusion of Dionysian ecstasies and progressive rock’s Apollonian aspirations.
Jamie Muir, a veteran of sixties sessions with free improvisers Evan Parker and Derek Bailey, plays chains, saws and junk, alongside the core band’s fiddly time signatures, string drones, and proto-post punk guitar noise.
The orchestrated chaos evidently softened for the album proper, German TV footage finds Robert Fripp and co foraging frenziedly at rock’s fringes.
