King Crimson is without a doubt the great mammoth of progressive rock: band that has been progressive and experimental with its’ sound from 1969 to the present day, always searching between the sounds to take the next step in their never ending musical development. The band has released 13 studio albums along with numerous live albums and countless official bootlegs. However, there are couple of good quality studio albums that for some reason have been forgotten by the bigger audience. Their fourth album Islands falls in to that category. The closing track - which is also the title track - is one of their most stunning compositions. A 12-minute long symphonic ballad with graceful piano, luxurious brass and woodwinds and who could be left cold by the poetic lyrics by Peter Sinfield. A true gem.
Two audio professors and musical wizards venture forth deeper into the outer realms of more unexplored musical dimensions bringing you the most astonishing aural treasures for your pleasure - straight from the Prog Cellar.
