How about mentioning the story of the lost master tape for one of the sides of the albums, it's finding in 2003 and the remaster cd that uses it?Jhayes94 16:49, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Intelligent Heavy Metal"
The band has often been called "intelligent heavy metal" (helped by Robert Fripp himself saying that his goal in forming King Crimson was to make such), and the first album by King Crimson defies genre and forges new ground on several fronts.
Does anyone know what is the source of this statement? Imadofus 22:07, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] POV
The entire second paragraph is entirely POV. Is this an encyclopedia article or a musical review? —Wrathchild (talk) 18:11, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
It should probably be forked to allow for a musical review in the WikiAlbums version and a purely factual article for the Wikipedia.--80.6.85.54 19:06, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] However it DOES retain blues-y elements
After trying to tab out the song for a cover version, I found that the scale used in the song is infact...the Blues scale. 1, 3, 4, #4, 5, b7. (However, during one of the parts, they also include a natural 7.)
The #4 makes the blues scale stand out from the simple minor pentatonic which has 1, 3, 4, 5, and b7.
I dunno. It seems kind of odd that the article states that it is not a blues-rock album at all when it uses the *blues* scale. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mattz1010 (talk • contribs) 03:16, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
- The blues scale does not a blues-rock album make. Someoneinmyheadbutit'snotme 01:02, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
sorrynousername: True that the blues scale does not define a blues-rock album, however In The Court is full of blues structure. The instrumental passages of 21st Century... the verses of In The Court of The Crimson King follow the first 8 bars of a 12 bar blues... Fripp has never denied being a blues fan and that influence has shown throughout his career. I think it was the Boz line-up of Crim, but I might be mistaken, who performed a blues version of In the court live... And take Larks Tongues part III as example. The intro, when slowed down and dissected follows a very strict 12 bar blues progression. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.126.87.27 (talk) 13:31, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
