One of my favourite albums. With Greg Lake on vocals it is absolutely smashing. The essence of KC. I've loved it for over 25 years now. Never had enough...

The wake of Poseidonis is an unbelievable distressing crescendo that leave breathless, millimeter by millimeter

The best definition of progressive rock is King Crimson

[@gelubatir9794]

From Wikipedia- - ---In the Wake of Poseidon is the second studio album by English progressive rock group King Crimson, released in May 1970 by Island Records in Europe, Atlantic Records in the United States, Philips Records in Australia, and Vertigo Records in New Zealand. To date the album is their highest-charting in the UK, reaching number 4. The album was recorded during a period of instability within the band owing to a fluctuating lineup. It follows a very similar musical style and track sequence to their first album, In the Court of the Crimson King. The album was well-received by contemporary critics, who commended the overall execution and production quality as an improvement over that of the band's debut, although later assessments have faulted its heavy reliance on the template established by its predecessor. Background Ian McDonald and Michael Giles left the band following their first American tour in 1970. Around the same time Greg Lake was approached by Keith Emerson to join what would become Emerson, Lake & Palmer. With the absence of McDonald, Robert Fripp took on part of the keyboard-playing role in addition to guitar. As Lake's position in the band was unclear, then-unknown Elton John was booked to sing on the recording sessions for In the Wake of Poseidon, but Fripp had second thoughts and cancelled the booking Lake ultimately decided to leave, but agreed to sing on the recordings, negotiating to receive King Crimson's PA equipment as payment. He ended up singing on all but one of the album's vocal tracks. The exception was "Cadence and Cascade", which featured a guest vocal by Fripp's old schoolfriend and teenage bandmate Gordon Haskell. An early mix of the song with Lake singing a guide vocal was later unearthed and featured on the DGM site as a download.[3] Other musicians involved with the album were Michael Giles and his brother Peter Giles on drums and bass respectively, Mel Collins (formerly of the band Circus) on saxophones and flute, and Keith Tippett on piano. During the recording of the album in early 1970, Fripp, Lake, Tippett and the Giles brothers appeared on Top of the Pops miming "Cat Food". This would be King Crimson's only appearance on the show. With the album on sale, Fripp and Sinfield remained in the awkward position of having King Crimson material and releases available, but no band to play it. They kept Mel Collins and Gordon Haskell on board, with Haskell also handling bass as well as vocals. Drummer Andy McCulloch, another Dorset musician moving in the West London progressive rock circle, who had previously been a member of Shy Limbs (alongside Greg Lake, who recommended him to Fripp) and Manfred Mann's Earth Band, was also recruited. Content The album opens with an a cappella piece called "Peace - A Beginning". An extended version of this piece, "Peace - A Theme", adds a middle eight and is performed on an unaccompanied acoustic guitar. This track appears at the beginning of side two, perhaps conceived as the mid-point of the album, and a third version, "Peace - An End" appears at the conclusion of the album. "Peace - An End" is to some extent a combination of the other two versions, containing both vocals and acoustic guitar as well as the middle eight, but the lyrics are entirely different from those of "Peace - A Beginning". The strongly jazz fusion-influenced "Pictures of a City" was originally performed live, often extended to over ten minutes and was called "A Man, a City". An example of such a performance appears on the live compilation album Epitaph. The ballad "Cadence and Cascade" is about two groupies.[ The longest track on the album is a chaotic instrumental piece called "The Devil’s Triangle". This was adapted from the 1969 band's live arrangement of Gustav Holst's "Mars: Bringer of War" (from his The Planets suite), later released on Epitaph (where it is titled merely "Mars").[5] "The Devil's Triangle" employs a different staccato riff than the one from "Mars". In 1971, a brief excerpt from "The Devil’s Triangle" was featured in "The Mind of Evil", the second serial of the eighth season of the BBC television series Doctor Who.[6] The track includes part of the chorus from "The Court of the Crimson King", a track from the band's first album, using a studio technique known as xenochrony. Despite this, Ian McDonald, who composed "The Court of the Crimson King", is not given co-writing credit on this segment of "The Devil's Triangle", only on the opening section, "Merday Morn".Track listing All European LPs issued by Island and Polydor have erroneously printed labels that leave off "Peace - A Theme" and list "The Devil's Triangle" and its three movements as four distinct tracks. Most US and Japanese Atlantic LPs use the correct track listing. All tracks are written by Robert Fripp and Peter Sinfield, except where noted Side A No. Title Length 1. "Peace - A Beginning" 0:51 2.

After nearly 50 years (bought it 1978 or so) Cadence and Cascade ist still one of my favourites, along with some other King Crimson songs. And a lot of others of course ;-)

Extraordinaire Greg Lake

[@montbob100]

Alex Lifeson of Rush must have gotten his idea for Xanadu intro from pictures of a city.Just realised after being a fan of both almost 50 yrs.wow.it's volume swells from Fripp.

Awesome!!!! What is The press?

[@Jpeg13759]

It's a repress, 180g

[@ianwilkinson4602]

After Court of the Crimson King this does nothing for me at all. Not until Larks tongues in Aspic did they redeem themselves for me.

[@Jpeg13759]

Agree, "Lark's Tongues" ist pretty nice... But almost Impossible to geht It on Vinyl, for a decent price. Sorry, but my Budget for my FREE (!) Channel is rather Low... If you got a Vinyl Copy, let me know, maybe we can trade ?

[@montbob100]

i disagree.Greg Lake was best vocalist by far.

[@ianwilkinson4602]

@@montbob100 Greg Lake was a brilliant vocalist and bass player, but I still have my reservations about the album no matter what. While I am typing I am listening to the audio, Greg's voice rings out perfectly😎there is no doubt. It is almost a lifetime since I listened to the album all the way through, what I am hearing so far is encouraging 😇😁Cheers
