King Crimson

LIMITED EDITION 200 GRAM VINYL

Intelligent, progressive, and varied enough, King Crimson's Red is most probably the best album ever made. From the opening track, the album bleeds every single drop, and just enough, of pure concentrated creativity. "Red" opens up the album giving us a taste of tritonal bliss, executed simply and viciously.

This is truly the first grunge album. While 21st Century Schizoid Man opened up the fires of what we call alternative rock today, that initial blast was silenced with the break up of the original band. Lark's Tongues in Aspic and Starless and Bible Black were the first to develop this sound further, but Red is where grunge was perfected and blue printed for future generations.
