Giles was on par with Bruford back them. Of course Bill has gone on to bigger and greater things. Dosent change that fact.

[@banjoshua]

Giles is way underrated. He came up with the perfect feel on this perfect track. I don't think much of Bruford, I like him but he seems to be more into mathematics when it comes to drumming. I guess he was an adequate substitution for Crimson's new musical orientation. Great drumming on the album "Starless and Bible Black".

I recently showed this to a friend, and though she had no interest in Prog or much rock at the time, she absolutely loved it and asked for similar songs. This music still engages more people to this day, and it's fantastic to see it here on KZbin as part of that.

[@guidomotshagen7541]

King Crimson perfectly fitted in with the psychedelic era, but they themselves were never part of that scene; actually they were rather bourgeois and "classical minded". Fripp himself cannot be called a rock- (or even pop-) guitarist, he plays it in a classical manner and I've never heard him play anything bluesy or something close to rock. He's very disciplined, but he's also a perfect example of "if it ain't got that swing it don't mean a thing" (Duke Ellington). I was very proud when a professional guitarist publicly said that "Guido has a good blues coming on". I was 12 at the time, and I was rehearsing "Day Tripper" 😂😂😂. I learned from the best, but I still can only imitate Jimi. 😢😢😢

One thing I think does not get enough attention is the SOUND of Michael Giles' drumming. I don't mean WHAT he plays, but the roundness and fullness of every tone he produces. I'm a guitarist, but I listen to the drummers, because everything besides the voice is just a drum with a different father. I like the drummers that get a sound like you are standing in a dense forest and this sound just swells up through the trees. Thats Michael Giles to me. Other drummers that I think get a fantastic sound are Michael Shrieve (Santana), Chico Hamilton, and Shelly Manne, two jazz drummers I have been lucky enough to be mesmerized by live.

Bellissima canzone di grande atmosfera. Stupendi King Crimson!!! Sono passati tanti anni e io ascolto ancora con passione questa canzone.👍❤️❤️❤️

Brano leggendario, come lo è Michael Giles, batterista prog inarrivabile, i suoi fraseggi ritmici sono unici, e unico è il suo stile, il rullante usato in questo modo si amalgama alla perfezione con il brano. Molti hanno tentato di imitarlo ma senza avere nessuna possibilità di uguagliarlo, lui usava la batteria come un pianista usa il suo pianoforte, con un tocco altamente tecnico, soave, delizioso. Non ci sarà mai a mio parere un altro Giles!

[@zigzag2510]

😊 hai ragione, la delicatezza del tocco, in punta di bacchette e il gusto timbrico e coloristico sono inarrivabili ❤

even before ELP, Greg Lake was an amazingly talented musician and a beautiful singer.

Since no one ever commented here with a similar interpretation of the song how I do, I now leave my comment. I'm a 22 y/o woman with ADHD and this is a great way of showing how people like us live and breathe. I'm an inattentive type and I always space out into a whole new dimension of reality. I've noticed that I use a unique coping mechanism for myself. Since I also have trouble expressing my thoughts and emotions, venting to another person never helped me. They either misunderstood me, or don't understand me at all. I personally cope with things by venting to my thoughts. I let loose when I daydream and I feel comforted by it. (Mostly when I ride the bus or train, I love to escape into my very own dimension of reality) "I talk to the wind, my words are all carried away" is what expresses this the best I think. And when people would ask me how I always manage to keep a good mood, I think to myself "If they only knew" :') It's almost like the like Said the straight man to the late man "where have you been" "I've been here and I've been there and I've been in between" This "between" is my dimension of reality, my escape. Is there a person who by mere coincidence has a psychologist kinda title? I'm suspecting myself to be autistic since I catch myself having autistic tendencies. Does, what I said above, give you a clue? It would really help me if someone could answer this question.

[@woahthatscool2258]

I'm sorry to not answer your question in your last paragraph, but I'd like to say I use a similar coping mechanism (not diagnosed with adhd or autism but I'm also suspecting symptoms.) Idk I'm just happy to see someone else who uses that type of coping mechanism. Also very nice pfp and username (I have JoJo brainrot rn sorry)

[@ejammy1906]

Many artists live in that dimension, to one degree or another. May you discover your special talent and nurture it for the world to enjoy.

[@loucat2779]

Do you need someone to vent to? Not knowing you,and forgive me if I am out of line, but I can relate exactly. That's why I come home to this song for decades now(61yrs old ). I actually found someONE who gets me. She is my world. Just want you to know that there is someone out there who needs you and wants to love you. She knows when to back off if need be, and when to pull me in off the ledge. You have expressed yourself so perfectly, that in itself is loveable. Don't sweat the tendencies, that's all just subjective b.s. Just keep on living and breathing like the rest of us higher beings. Love from here!

[@youexpectedanamebutitwasmedio]

@@loucat2779 That's actually so sweet?? You've made my day better than it already was :') I did not expect such a heartwarming response to this comment. I really hope that I can find that someone, just like you did. I'm very happy that a person who has a similar way of thinking, has found their other half. I'm sincerely happy for you :) I'm still figuring out how my real identity is like without "adjusting myself according to the person or situation" so I kind of don't have a single clue what kind of person my someone would be like, or if I even _need_ a someone. Anyway, thanks again for that wholesome answer and I wish you a nice (whatever daytime it is at your place). Love from Germany 🫶🏼

@@youexpectedanamebutitwasmedio I just saw a damsel in distress, and thought maybe a little ray of sunshine was in order. I never dreamed I would ever find someone, and it happened totally by chance. You seem like such a warm, intelligent, loving person, someone is waiting to be part of your life. You may even have to break a few hearts 💕 along the way! You be You, and keep looking ahead. Oh, and I do talk to the wind, and the birds, and the chubby squirrel out back. Love from Massachusetts.

Sad news about Pete Sinfield on Friday. His lyrics and imagery are such a vital part of those early King Crimson albums. St Peter at the Pearly Gates: "Well Mr Sinfield, what have you been up to?" Pete Sinfield: "Well, I've been here and I've been there and I've been in between. You see, I talk to the wind."

I Had heard this Album being played by my beloved brother Thom's elaborate stereo system in his room at the house my dad designed and recently had built for the six child family circa 1972 (Thom passed away over the Thanksgiving weekethis year jusas my father had passed on the same holiday26 years prior in 98. both 68) l was 4 or 5 when I heard the eerie melotron melodies and Greg Lake's amazingly velvet voice floating in the air so beautiful and colorful I felt as if I could see it dancing toward me. It stuckand remained a listening staple to this day 2023. Fast Forward to Kent State University 1989 driving home to my college pit of an Apartment from my Waiter job at Denny's. With a few dollars in my pocket I had bought some road pop at the store next to Denny's. 98.5 WNCX would play album sides at midnight in those days. I turned on the radio and that familiar melotron groaned in the background followed by the magical voice of Greg Lake. I took the long way home and reminisced of being home as a young boy listening while my brothers quietly played chess. My brother Tom gave me a saxophone in 5th grade and taught me piano chords around the same time. He was my biggest influence and was quintessencial in allowing me to develope as an artist musician and and Weekend scientist. In my teens I recall him telling me that Pink Floyd would not have their sound had the inventive King crimson not paved the way by producing their own records with elaborate recording, multi tracking methods, Three drummers, the Melotron along with Fripps guitar and Lakes voice producing depth like no record before . Court of the Crimson King was a pioneer album and work of pure musical originality and skill. Rock on Robert, RIP Gregory. This first Album is Rock roll gold clearly showing how the Brits, in the sixties and early 70s were masters of taking the American invented rock n roll, Refining it and making it more universally accepted and accessible with their unique ability to add nuance to recordings to make songs irresistible and addictive.

King Crimson, mi banda favorita, los he visto siete veces en vivo y muero por volverlos a ver, este disco redifinió lo que significa el rock progresivo, en otras palabras, este disco es el rock progresivo..!!!

[@omaumdom]

Jorge Andrade, Dado tu amor por King Crimson, te voy a dar un dato que quizás no sepas y que pocos saben y es que King Crimson , Pink Floyd y muchas otras bandas de rock progresivo basaban mucho su creatividad, inspiración , composición en el LSD. El cual en estos años todavía no estaba prohibido, concretamente esta canción "Le hablo al viento" si te fijas en la letra, habla de una experiencia con LSD.Espero haberte ayudado. Un saludo.
