One eye goes laughing
One eye goes crying
Through the trials and trying of one life
One hand is tied
One step gets behind
In one breath we're dying
I've been waiting for the sun to come up
Waiting for the showers to stop
Waiting for the penny to drop
One time
And I've been standing in a cloud of plans
Standing on the shifting sands
Hoping for an open hand
One time
One eye goes laughing
One eye goes crying
Through the trials and trying of one life
One hand is tied
One step gets behind
In one breath we're dying
I've been waiting for the sun to come up
Waiting for the showers to stop
Waiting for the penny to drop
One time
And I've been standing in a cloud of plans
Standing on the shifting sands
Hoping for an open hand

Great stuff...Thank you
Nice. I have always felt that Adrian Belew sounds like David Bryne - so here we have the two of them back-to-back. Coincidence? Not.
VERY tasty on the heals of Born Under Punches - well done William! 
King Crimson - with Adrian Belew and Greg Lake are honestly the best Crimson. I love all the others and… nuff said

Steve Wilson recently remixed a few early KC albums (that orig came out when he was a 5~10 yo) - so who influenced who?

Porcupine Tree definitely sounds like King Crimson. Crimson released their first album when the oldest member of PT was 11.

so after a few gin rickeys and party favors, I can only conclude that this sounds like Sade, circa 1985.

Just saw him at a small club in NH - what a wonderful evening! He is doing quite well and is such an amazingly happy performer. Glad I finally saw him
Singer is Adrian Belew… He is also a huge part of KC sound in that particular era of KC.

I can see a little bit of that... The tempo and key sounds similar. Thrak predates Frou Frou's Details by 6-7 years, but I'd like to think that Imogen Heap digs Adrian Belew and roles he's had in the Talking Heads, Bowie, Tom Tom Club, etc.

Tony Levin! I too hope to master the Chapman Stick. Rather steep learning curve, kind of like a sitar for bass. Also plays well with a bow.

Wonderful band. I was lucky enough to see them several times in the 70s. Recenty, I met Claire Hamill who supported them on their 1973 tour of the UK. Claire is an amazing folk rock artist much rated by Robert Fripp.
Fripp's diary is awesome. Read the open letter to him and his response the next day..

Got to see their latest tour about a month ago - incredible! I highly recommend you go if you are a KC fan at all. SO impressive seeing 3 full kit drummers at the FRONT of the stage! Wonderfully one of them is Gavin Harrison!

Ya know, I gotta agree with you on that. I basically discovered Crimso thru following BB from Yes to KC to UK to Bruford to Earthworks plus his dalliances with Brand X, Gong, Trigger, National Health, Genisis, etc.
I am excited about the latest incarnation of KC with Gavin Harrison on drums.
Would be THE dream team to have both Gavin and Bruford on drums instead of Gavin and Pat.
Yeah, I'm a big Bruford-head, being a drummer and all. Always liked most of what he's done, so I'm biased of course.
Bill's playing has usually struck me as of course not particularly flashy but when he's not there, you notice he's missing. Like in Yes...Alan is great ofc but when he plays non-Bruford-era material that are his own comps, Yes just isn't the same.
Harrison, sure I can see him as a great drummer in KC.

I don't try to overly analyze why I like certain things, but with KC I think it is their sufficiently unconventional and unpredictable composition. It feels mentally refreshing, like I have gotten out of a comfortable groove for a few minutes and looked around me with new perspective. Just sayin...
Can't have too much KC. Not familiar with this album but just grabbed the CD at Amazon with 1-click, and I believe RP gets some token amount for the click-through. Ain't the Internet great (sometimes)?

Because they rocked like MoFos. What a great show!
Much more interesting than the latter Belew years, where they were just stringing power chords together.

Never heard this one from King Crimson before. It's nice, I like it. Might get a higher rating once I hear it a few more times.

If it doesn't have Bruford, it's not Crimson. Pat's a good drummer but nothing like Bill.

The last time I saw Belew, he was slinger-in-residence on a Bowie tour. As gifted as Bowie is, I love Belew's vocals. There's an honesty about them.
Saw them do a BRILL show in Tokyo 11 years ago or so and their energy exchange with the audience was really something to FEEL...

Does anyone know where to find digital KC? I can't find it anywhere short of some obscure Russian site I don't trust. I'm not trying to get it for free, just trying to get it. I converted some You tube posts to MP3 to cure my fix but the fidelity does not do the band justice.

I recognize that King Crimson was one of the pioneering groups of modern music, but man this song is terrible.

The downside to living in the bush in Africa
I've been a huge KC fan for decades- one of the odd ones that enjoy all phases of their music. I agree that for someone just getting into them Discipline would be a great jumping off point.
I assume that all the hardcore KC fans out there already know that they are playing some live shows this August in Chicago, NYC, and Philly. The 2 Nashville warm up shows are already sold out but there may be some tickets available for the other shows. I bought tickets for me and my hubby the day they went on sale
so we'll be at the Thursday night show in Chicago at the Park West.
The lineup this time is-
Robert Fripp
Adrian Belew
Tony Levin
Pat Mastelotto
and
Gavin Harrison (the drummer from Porcupine Tree)
They've already completed the first of 3 rehearsal sessions and apparently the double drumming (or sonic fury as Fripp puts it) of Harrison and Mastelotto is promising to be very formidable

I dug this album...a lot. Saw the Crim in NYC that tour. Incredible. Not long after that I saw Fripp, Belew, and Levin at Valentines in Albany (some sort of Crim side project...think it was called Project X or something). Still can't believe I got to hear Robert Fripp in that tiny club!

Not typical for KC. But its the KC usual amazing quality. State of the art.

btw, I enjoy all periods of KC. Seen them live many times and they never disappoint.
While the true blue KC fan will love LTIA and S&BB, these albums are not for the faint of heart. That stuff is VERY experimental and qualifies as "difficult listening hour" to coin a Laurie Anderson phrase. I would stay away from the older KC stuff until you've gotten used to their more accessible later work. Rare are the KC fans that enjoy the old stuff (like Bible Black and Lark's Tongue) and also like the new yellow-red-blue albums. They are like two different groups that happen to share one common member. To me, they are two different bands and two different sounds.
Thrack, BTW, is kind of a throwback to the old days. It reminds me of a metallic (and more creative) Porcupine Tree. It may be hard to believe that there are better progrock bands than PT, but King Crimson is superior IMO.

Howling, howling, howling, old awful song.
This is my first time hearing this song. I agree with the earlier poster who described it as timeless. Nice choice.

Really pissed that I missed Adrian Belew the last TWO times he's played at the Aladdin here in Portland. Anyone catch the really big shoe?
First time hearing this ..... really digging it!! 
Though personally I prefer the EP version (Vrooom).
The rythem is much more fluid there.
