I will agree with that statement. This album blew me away in 1970 but I would not lump any of King Crimson's albums under the label of progressive rock.

The fate of all mankind is in the hands of fools.
That does not sound unreasonable or misguided. As true now as then. More?

That is except for hearing it here.
I Talk to the Wind is an absolutely phenomenal song off of that album - a total classic |
