"Lark's Tongues In Aspic" is without a doubt King Crimson's least accessible and most complex album, in part due to its free jazz influences, with visceral hard rock approaches.
Released in 1973, Robert Fripp took more than a year to make a new album with a new line-up, featuring Bill Bruford, John Wetton, Jamie Muir, David Cross and Richard Palmer as lyricist.
Robert Fripp prints on this occasion some unpublished sounds with exotic percussions and a darker, more aggressive music demonstrated in songs like "Lark's Tongues In Aspic, Part 1" or in the suffocating atmospheres of "Exiles", "The Talking Drum" or "Lark's Tongues In Aspic, Part 2", yet it also has moments for more "commercial" sounds such as the powerful "Easy Money", which make this album a must for all progressive rock purists.
