"21st century schizoid man" has jazzy sax parts, OUTSTANDING fast and complex drums, and a very melodic, present and complex bass. Fripp's electric guitar is mind troubling, already being bizarre and experimental. "I talk to the wind" has relaxing flutes, placid vocals and gentle drums. "Epitaph" has very poignant floating mellotron streams a la Genesis (Nursery cryme). Greg's lead vocals are emotional and passionate. Fripp uses peaceful guitars, mostly acoustic. "Moonchild" is catchy and addictive, particularly Greg's voice. Fripp's guitar follows more the rhythm and the melody of this track, despite his electric guitar solos in the background are a bit irritating. One of the best tracks is definitely the last one, "The court of the crimson king", which has full of intensely floating mellotron, heroic backing vocals, soothing flutes, accessible guitar sounds and varied drums. Near the end, there is an excellent childish part of woodwind instruments: very charming! Line-up / Musicians - Robert Fripp / guitar - Greg Lake / bass guitar, lead vocals - Ian McDonald / reeds, woodwind, vibes, keyboards, mellotron, vocals - Michael Giles / drums, percussion, vocals - Peter Sinfield / words and illumination
