The Prog doctor will see you now


A strange evening, I've been listening to a lot of dodgy old prog rock. On a whim, I downloaded In The Court Of The Crimson King - I don't think I have ever heard it all the way through, although Ady used to have it on vinyl, and I remember '21st Century Schizoid Man', which is a tremendous track, and probably worthy of inclusion in that track one side one list from the other week.

Now I think about it, Ady's vinyl version was a double LP, with Larks' Tongues In Aspic, and one of the LPs seemed to be a random Status Quo album, which found its way there by mistake. I don't think I'm making this up...

Anyway, ITCOTCK is a really good record. The lyrics are bobbins, but the guitar playing is terrific.
