Chris Riches

My favourite King Crimson album. Jon Anderson gives his career best performance on Prince Rupert Awakes (in my opinion). That leads into an incredible cornet solo before moving forward into a very orchestrated jazz fusion. And Robert Fripp’s guitar solo on Prince Rupert’s Lament reaches new highs in prog guitar. On the other side is an unusual set of songs opening with Cirkus. Ensure you crank up the volume for this - the highlights are incredible. The other three songs seem to match. Indoor Games is a lot of fun. I highly recommend this 1970 album for your listening pleasure.

My first ever prog album bought in 1969 long before the term progressive rock was coined. I already had Sudden Life on a single (blue PYE label) and when I had enough cash I bought the album. I was not disappointed.
