King Crimson - Beyond Tiki

My favorite lineup is probably Larks Tongues in Aspic, a unit with lots to prove producing one of the most sublimely dynamic and textured KC efforts ever, thanks in great part to to violinist David Cross and percussionist Jamie Muir. Without their valuable subtleties further efforts would leave the trio in an increasingly manic and muscular spiral until this lineups beautiful and exhausting final statement on Red, Starless, "...sundown, dazzling days..." This power trio is a Cream fan's worst nightmare. Far more similar to inventive fusion-era Miles Davis than numbingly predictable Claptonianisms. If you dug USA I'm sure you can pic up a used copy of the Great Deceiver box set which is nothing but disc after disc of remarkable Wetton era live Crim. Lots of Crimmy fun here: http://www.elephant-talk.com/main.shtml As far as PROGXOTICA hybrids, I'm crazy about Clouseaux and recently Kooche turned me on to Friends Of Dean Martinez who's latest album Lost Horizon is splendid.
