King Crimson - eine Band die ihre Zeit prägte - Xenopolias

Im milden Zwielicht eines verregneten Abends in London, als die nassen Kopfsteinpflasterstraßen im Schein der Straßenlaternen glitzerten, beginnt die Geschichte einer Band, deren Klanglandschaften und unkonventionellen Arrangements das Genre des Progressive Rock revolutionierten. Ein leises Gitarrenarpeggio erklang aus einer kleinen Bar in der Nähe des Fulham Palace, als Robert Fripp, ein ambitionierter Gitarrist mit visionären Ideen, und seine Weggefährten – bald darauf als King Crimson bekannt – ihre ersten Töne zusammentrugen. Die Atmosphäre war elektrisierend, als Musikliebhaber das Versprechen einer neuen musikalischen Ära spürten, in der Grenzen zwischen Rock, Jazz, Klassik und experimentellen Klängen verschwimmen sollten.

Xenopolias
"From the Beginning" is a song written by #GregLake and performed by the #progressiveRock trio #EmersonLakeAndPalmer. It was released on their 1972 album #Trilogy. It hit #39 in the United States and was their highest-charting single there.

A Christmas tradition.

Merry Christmas from Ted Tocks Covers!

“I wish you a hopeful Christmas
I wish you a brave new year
All anguish pain and sadness
Leave your heart and let your road be clear
They said there’ll be snow at Christmas
They said there’ll be peace on earth
Hallelujah noel be it heaven or hell
The Christmas you get you deserve”
