King Crimson-In The Wake Of Poseidon

Saturday, January 22nd, 2011

In the Wake of Poseidon

Just a quick note here. I LOVE King Crimson. Got all their records when they came out, listened to them over and over and still get chills when I hear certain passages, but King Crimson has never been about “keepers”. Each of their albums are special in their own way and I’m going to have to cheat a little when I post their albums. So…

No real keepers for me on this one, but the album is really good and “Cadence and Cascade” and “Cat Food” each add something to the King Crimson vocabulary.

Does that make sense?

Scott Walker-’Til the Band Comes In

Tuesday, October 5th, 2010

'Til the Band Comes In

This is the last “real” Scott Walker album from the first solo run, and 2/3rds of it stands with his best work from those days. The last few songs on this one begin the running-on-fumes phase of his solo career… his smile on the cover looks eerily like the smile a boxer has on his face when he’s been knocked senseless.

Keepers:

Prologue
