Alrighty then - that's enough of the old grotty King Crimson. I made it up through the 4th track of Islands and just snapped. I may return in a few months. Meanwhile, let's try some 60s-quintet Miles Davis.

I'm deep in some programming for work, and to drown out the kids' noises I like to play music through my gun muffler headphones. What to play? I found that my usual Mozart divertimeni were annoying with the work I'm doing, so I cast around a bit and stumbled across the complete works of King Crimson. I discovered them in their early 80s incarnation - Fripp, Belew, Buford, Levin - thanks to my friend Dan Largent, who had no use for his KC cassettes, and I realized this evening I'd never listened to the old pre-80s KC.
So I spent this afternoon coding with "In the Court of the Crimson King" and now I'm trawling through my boss's code with my first-ever listen to "In the Wake of Poseidon".
