About
Released in early 1973, <i>Larks’</i> represents King Crimson's <i>third</i> distinct lineup. John Wetton joins Robert Fripp as the finest singer since Greg Lake, while drummer Bill Bruford provides a kinetic power that serves the material elegantly. David Cross’ violin, viola, and flute (on “Exiles”) color the two-part instrumental title track and add an eerie sense to “Book of Saturday.” The bonus tracks further explore the chemistry among the players. Often considered the first part of a trilogy that features <i>Starless and Bible Black</i> and <i>Red</i>, <i>Larks’</i> is arguably the toughest for new fans to process (though “Exiles” is gorgeous).
