A strange universe of sound that lurks between Canterbury and the royal family.
King Crimson's most complex and artistic album. A myth of architectural beauty and chaos born from the intersection of progressive rock, classical music, and jazz.
Lizard, King Crimson's third album, released in 1970, is one of the most challenging and abstract works in the history of progressive rock. It fuses jazz-like improvisation with classical compositional beauty to create a fantastical and unstable musical space. The first track, "Prince Rupert Awakes," which features guest appearance by Jon Anderson (Yes), and the suite-style title track feature prominent orchestral instruments and piano, making the listener feel as if they are listening to modern music. This work, which progresses while blending Mellotron, odd time signatures, and dissonance, is an unorthodox masterpiece that forces the listener to "prepare to listen."
