Show Don't Tell Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I've been digging Camel's 80s stuff lately. Especially the instrumentals. Good stuff. Andrew Latimer is one of my favourite musicians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Sawyer Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 In the Court of the Crimson King needs more fast-paced music. Meddle needs more electric guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fledgehog Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 The second half of Moonchild ON ITS OWN drags a bit (especially when you're sober), but in context of the album it fits perfectly. In the Court...is one of those albums where no second is wasted, all the transitions are written and executed perfectly, and any modification would disrupt the emotional and musical flow. It's the "calm before the storm", so to speak. When you're listening through, you hear the haunting, deceptively innocent first half of Moonchild, followed by the instrumental section that sort of dies into oblivion, puts you in a sort of tranquil, confused state, and then BOOM! the drums announcing the title track. It's perfect -- thrilling, dramatic, emotional, and I couldn't imagine listening to the album without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silas Lang Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Those last ten minutes or so of "Moonchild" are a complete waste...meandering, aimless noodling. Kept to 2 or 3 minutes, it wouldn't have been such a blight on an otherwise fine album but it takes up nearly a quarter of its running time.

Oracle Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I remember when listening to 'Dark Side of the Moon' used to feel like a long time to me. I've only just realized that I'm on 'Any Colour You Like' and that the album is almost over. Huh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigalfan Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 QUOTE (Oracle @ Jun 20 2011, 01:12 AM) Looking back, I'm really kicking myself for not trying to see U2's recent 360 Tour. I had the chance to go on a road trip with a few of my friends to three shows and passed on the opportunity. Damn it. Don't fret too much. I saw them in Dallas on the Vertigo Tour...that'll be the last time. I mean, if you want to hear loud, distorted music and watch Bono prance around trying desperately to come off as 'cool' ....go, but don't say I didn't warn you. Had to be one of the biggest concert let downs ever for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
