Nice concise review of my second/third favourite KC (like you
Red just about pips it for me). I'm sure I read somewhere that all the lyrics were written by a friend of the band, who discussed lyrical concepts with Fripp then he'd just write them. Always intrigued me how R.F. always seemed to maintain a distance from the band yet ran it so tightly, great bandleader and ultimately I guess he is King Crimson.
I have never heard
Lizard Seltzer but as you prefer it to this I'll have to rectify!
And I see you're listening to Arthur on last.fm
