Larks' Tongues in Aspic (40th Anniversary)

So this is what it sounds like! and I've had the LP since it came out in '73.A splendid album and the '40th' CD + DVD package is very good; no point in my reviewing the music as this is covered here by others. The DVD 5.1 surround is great (Steven Wilson simply knows how to do this), and the CD sound itself is way above the vinyl (not something that is automatically the case). It really is as if I'd never heard it before, just so much detail and presence. And visceral power where needed. As good as the '40th' Court of the Crimson King reissue - if not better as there is more to reveal on this album. The only trouble is - it makes you want the others in the series.

One of the all time great bands and this album is stupendous

Larks' Tongue has always been way up there as a favorite recording not only from a King Crimson standpoint but across the whole array of the musical spectrum. I won't go into the magic of the album as most fans can already attest to it's special character but I will testify to the awesome experience of hearing it in the DVD 5.1 format. It truly is a revelation to zone in on the extaordinary nuance inherent within the recording. You have the sense of really "being there", let in on the secret world that was till now reserved for the artists themselves. So, if you have the appropriate equipment, & already love this disc, do yourself a favour & check this out. You won't be disappointed! Kevin.

A quintessential KC album.

Again another great c d from a great band

One of the best prog rock albums ever. If you don't have it then you really should buy it.
