Its really fucking pathetic, all this talk about what a fucking masterpiece the song is and the most beautiful climactic section isn't even there...you shouldn't have posted it without the ending, or AT LEAST acknowledged that it wasn't there for people who aren't familiar with it...maybe they'd go find the entire thing...the sound of Wetton practically ripping the strings out of his bass at the end with the mellotron in the background is so fucking powerful and beautiful!!
First heard this thirty odd years more than i want to think of ago, and never fell out of love with it. Thanks for the good quality sound. The shear progressive play and innovation required to make this sort of music still blows my mind and hope it never stops doing it.
This is truly the best song ever, and I have listened to many beautifuI songs of many different styles and genres. I never fail to enjoy this song. Every second is special. Definitely music for the mind. And the album is pretty good as well. Islands and Epitaph are the next 2 greatest KC album worth cherishing!

@TheBearcat222 You are an idiot and should be hit in the head several times for your stupidity. You do not know music. King Crimson are the best Progressive Rock ever. They paved the way for many bands. I am disgusted with your insolence. Get a life, and listen to some good music.
An old friend of mine (with a history of bad trips), Ed, told me that he and another guy were tripping with this tune playing and close to the end of the build-up section - I'm guessing near the eight minute mark - he had to turn it off. His buddy was really diggin' it, but Ed felt like his head was going to explode!

On a scale of 1 to 10, this scores Awesome. Yes, that's right: it's right off the scale and into another paradigm of measurement. It's that good.

@TheBearcat222 You need to relax, Bearcat. Perhaps you could kick back with a good King Crimson album. Might I recommend "Red"?

Hmmm...this was recorded in the early 1970s...I think 1974. Radiohead was formed in 1985.

First few seconds reminds me of Radiohead, a bit of Nude and a bit of All I Need.
