hey all!so, i'm really excited. lately i've been sick with the writer's common cold, and everyone who's ever played around with words knows that writer's block is a big pain in the ass. well, tonight while messing around with midi, i found a really cool melody. simple, but catchy none-the-less. it hints all-time qb somewhat, which is okay, but with anything i write, i have this fear that it mig...

The keeper of the city keys puts shutters on the dreamsI wait outside the pilgrim's door with insufficient schemesThe black queen chants a funeral marchThe cracked brass bells all ringTo summon back the Fire WitchTo the Court of the Crimson King.

Even though the Rush experience I wrote about before really started everything, the second moment I want to share would eventually have more of an impact than any other thing in my life, musically speaking. I had been a Rush freak for many years, through high school and well into college, but other than that I hadn't branched out too much. I had discovered other bands, like Pink Floyd, The Ta...

1984's "Three Of A Perfect Pair" was the last of three records the reunited band of Tony Levin, Robert Fripp, Adrian Belew, and Bill Bruford put out (Discipline and Beat being the other two) and tellingly, it was simultaneously the band's most commercial and most abstract record of the three. Side one was (for the most part) Crimsonized pop songs. They even did a video for "Sleepless" which got...

Back in the mid 80's I started reading a magazine that focused only on CD's, ICE. It was aimed at music junkies, audiophiles, and early CD adopters. I got it for the release dates they would list months in advance, so I could drool over first time on CD stuff, but I did read the articles as well, and King Crimson was often a topic.Reviewers and Fans of King Crimson never held back on how great...

King Crimson was a whole new thing in 1969. In a year that saw wild explosive growth in every direction...King Crimson existed on a plane of their own. Light years ahead of pop radio fare, they soon became a staple on FM radio stations...which in many instances were very progressive, although no one would have said that at the time.

By their fourth album King Crimson was running out of steam. The elaborate compositions were becoming more stripped down even as they further pushed various envelopes. Robert Fripp's fascination with what "else" a guitar could sound like was already well on it's way to becoming obsessive as he constantly sought new ways to record what he heard in his head. This is not a very good cd as more th...

In addition to having its own style, progressive rock tends to have cornered the market on a couple of instruments. These are perfectly normal instruments, not custom-made one of a kinds, that over the years have just become associated with prog through its use by certain iconic figres or bands. While they might be normal, these instruments never really punched their way into mainstream music...
