The main thing I like about the song is all the different progressions. It starts out quite softly, so delicately and almost innocuously. It suddenly becomes dark and then there's the very minimal Fripp solo. That probably throws people off, but I love the way it builds in intensity and finally explodes into a saxophone solo and finishes in a cacophony.
