Granted, I'm only just getting into some prog, but I think King Crimson's last three 70's albums might just be the coolest of the era. Larks' Tongues in Aspic is at least a bit too weird for me to truly take in at the moment, but there are just so many moments of pure alien WTF'ness.
This song is deceptively minimalist (another thing I love, cause minimalism doesn't seem to be too common in prog), but every instrument just contributes in its own way to a very unnerving atmosphere, and it just gets worse (better) as it goes on. Definitely one of the sweetest songs I've heard in a minute.
Can't find the studio version of this song, but whatevs.
