The second half jam reminds me of the lengthy "Moonchild" jam on their first album.

If you think this version sounds like "Moonchild", there's another out-take version of the band playing this with Ian McDonald adding flute. And it's 1.5 minutes longer and more free-form yet. That out-take can be heard on the GG & F archival release "The Brondesbury Tapes". Frankly though, I prefer this original version better.

I highly recommend this CD.

@fabrikk60 very perceptive ! also elements of "The Letters" on "Islands" ! (along with another one "The Sailor's Tale",maybe?! )

[CraftyGtrist]

This is where "King Crimson" began, as it is this trio that started KC, as well as some of Fripps ideas for composing further.

This is friggin' King Crimson material right here.

moonchild from KC is just about the best song ever made--you HAVE to see the seen in Buffalo 66 when Christina Ricci is doing a spacy but sexy dance to it in a bowling alley

[lylemays100]

this song blows my mind today as much as it did in 1982 when i was 22

Giles and Giles look like twins c:
