love to see blastic rhino and coda:I have a dream  live , anybody? . . . .

[ahitler1000]

love that chapman stick , Trey Gunns playing  near the end of the song, nothing deeper , than a chapman stick, . . . rock on dudes

[derek4ur]

this is beautiful, fascinating stuff, but i am not familiar with it--has adrian belew stepped out of the picture by this point? no vocals...

i like it--i am not familiar with contemporary prog-rock, and maybe i should give it a chance.

i have been told that tool is probably too "hard" for my taste, but i will check them out.

thanks for posting...

@derek4ur

No problem. Tool is kind of prog rock/metal band highly influenced by King Crimson. Basicly it's heavier, but not heavier than Thrak whichis really rough. You should check Tool, really great band.

[derek4ur]

@gab136 Thanks, I will listen to them.

I wish King Crimson were still putting out cds. A lot of my heroes are rather up in years now--even David Byrne has grey hair.

"Heaven and Earth" strikes me as music for musicians, largely--beautiful, but kind of highbrow, in an appealing way. I am going to listen to Tool right now.

[derek4ur]

@gab136 i just listened to Tool's "Vicarious." it is a masterpiece, and an important message--those guys aren't fucking around.

[gab136]

@derek4ur

Yeah and they giving really grewat peformances. Just watch some live songs on youtube... Vicarious riff reminds me of Frame by Frame riff bass played in slower tempo. You should check Lateralus album, priceless work.

[derek4ur]

@gab136 I'll check out their live stuff for sure, and Lateralus as well. Thanks for turning me on to these guys--they aren't too hard for my taste: I think they are great.

[ge0metr1x]

@gab136 The voculs on frame by frame sound a lot like alice in chains too... so does a few other of belews tracks from the 80's....  most (including me till recently) don't realize how much King Crimson has influenced popular music... hell listen to their very first album from 69, in the court of the crimson king.... light years ahead of its time

[twtomwood123]

@gab136 Lateralus and 10,000 days are 2 of my favourite albums of all time....Tool are awesome! Salival is a great album too....IF you can get hold of a copy

[allovernow100]

@derek4ur try fear of a blank planet by Porcupine tree

[robmanic44]

@derek4ur Tool is basically a King Crimson wannabe. I don't think they're going to last three generations, which is how long KC has been the dominant band in progressive rock.

[derek4ur]

@robmanic44 They may well never reach the heights that KC has, nor last as long, but Tool isn't lousy, either. You never know what they might accomplish. One has to hope that Tool and bands of their ilk will find their own voice and keep carrying the torch.

[ahitler1000]

@derek4ur no adrians  kicking butt on his axe , following the great robert fripp,

[ahitler1000]

@derek4ur no he, s still in the picture but reformed to fripps ideals , lol, ... which I love, together they were a bad ass team, although I didnt like adrian belews earlier stuff like elephant talk , that album was off, but the construction on light forward is great ,

[nonfoods1]

All that and a bag of neutrinos

[ahitler1000]

the more I find from fripp the better I like it , thier like fine wine , the older they get , the better they get , . . . .

[perdunchiki]

"In the court" and "the constraction" what a metamorphosis Ah?

[primachemichiami]

Questo disco è stupendo e chiude alla grande. Dire semplicemente che mi piace è ridicolo. Fripp è i KC sono mia madre.

[FLEXLBI]

this should be played very loud while wearing headphones.
