Was chatting Fuzz tones briefly last night in the Beresford porch while listening to Al Di Meola pull out some real nasty fuzztone melodies on Return to Forever's The Shadow of Lo. Craving more fuzz tone this morning, I couldn't help but throw on what I often refer to as my "favorite" King Crimson album, however that can quickly change based on which of their albums I listened to last. This album does hold lots of my actual favorite fuzz tones though, between Fripp's thick gritty rhythm sounds, screeching leads, and Wetton's fuzzed out and punchy as hell bass tones, it certainly characterizes the majority of rock elements throughout the whole record. Check it out in the less ambient sections of Larks' Tongues in Aspic(part1), Easy Money, and Larks' Tongues in Aspic(part2)
All fuzz aside though, this album is absolutely fantastic, containing some gorgeous and spacious guitar led passages like Book of Saturday, even including some of their earlier more orchestral concepts (mellotrons!) in Exiles, and dynamic improv in The Talking Drum.
