The quartet of David Cross, John Wetton, Robert Fripp and Bill Bruford (augmented on LARK'S TONGUES by madman percussionist Jamie Muir) is regarded as the most innovative of Crimson's many lineups, offering hard-edged improvisations on an unprecedented level. With founding member\/lyricist Pete Sinfield departed, Robert Palmer-James stepped in with a more cutting, concise lyrical approach that matched the group's uncompromising instrumental precision.\r\nSTARLESS takes the furious improvisational style inaugurated by it's predecessor and takes it to new heights. Tunes like \"We'll Let You Know\" and \"Fracture,\" while based around typically devilish Fripp guitar figures and complicated time signatures, lean heavily on the spontaneity of the band's no-holds-barred interaction for their fireworks. The drumless \"Trio\" is 100 percent improvisation and inspiration. \"The Great Deceiver\" is about as close to a standard \"rock\" tune as STARLESS gets, Wetton's throaty vocals leading the charge. Even on this, one of Crimson's pointiest, nastiest efforts, there's room for a poignant ballad, \"The Night Watch,\" which ranks among the band's best.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 10\/30\/2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"King Crimson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46993401512225,"sku":"B8E432-4NDX-00","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0723\/5099\/0625\/files\/king-crimson-starless-and-bible-black-200-gram-vinyl-import_aLQqj.jpg?v=1740276114","url":"https:\/\/birds-nest-records.myshopify.com\/products\/king-crimson-starless-and-bible-black-200-gram-vinyl-import","provider":"Bird's Nest Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
