Often described as "jazzy", Lizard is basically baroque rock, but its mellotron fanfares are mixed with the splintered lines of jazz pianist Keith Tippett and the free-blowing horn section from his sextet. Circus is a fine opener but the Indoor Games is along with Happy Family some of the stranger tunes ever from Crimson. Lady is another tune in the mould of Cadence or Talk to the Wind. Of course everyone waits for LIZARD and its 23+ min. The first part most everybody knows because of the Yes-man on vocals and is quite fine. Comes a very delicate Bolero (a better version on the 4 cd box-set) that is the only one that does honour to Ravel and then comes the heart of the album - the Battle - savage war-like drumming flying reeds and mellotron layers making it a great number from Crimson. Line-up / Musicians - Robert Fripp / guitar, mellotron, electric keyboards & devices - Mel Collins / flute & saxes - Gordon Haskell / bass guitar & vocals - Andy McCulloch / drums - Peter Sinfield / words & pictures WITH: - Robin Miller / oboe & cor anglais - Mark Charig / cornet - Nick Evans / trombone - Keith Tippet / piano & electric piano - Jon Anderson of YES / vocals on "Lizard - a. Prince Rupert Awakes"
