King Crimson-Islands
Saturday, November 26th, 2011
It’s King Crimson… add Formentera Lady to the list of essentials, but this is one album I won’t miss.
When it came out they were interviewed on a radio station in Montreal, and what I remember most about it was that they kept on playing cuts from the album that I didn’t like and (worse) they made fun of Pete Sinfield on the air, sneering “Oooh… he wrote the WORDS.” Not a good first impression – probably too much to overcome.
I don’t generally like songs about groupies or the road either as long as we’re at it, and “Ladies of the Road” is a double shot of keep it to yourself.
