agreed Frank. I deal with this crap almost on a daily basis and it works better than Ambien.

From David Cross' diary:

"I have just scanned through a preview copy of Andrew Keeling’s ‘Musical Guide to Larks’ Tongues in Aspic by King Crimson’. In this book Andrew has applied some powerful analytical tools, deconstructing tonal and metrical materials using Bartok’s Axis system of tonality, the Golden Section and the Fibonacci series. He has also engaged with the ritualistic, occult and mystical components implicit in the album through the lens of Jungian psychology and revealed some fascinating numerical symbolism (particularly around the number 5) whilst developing a finely argued view of the music’s place in the spectrum of rock. Andrew recognises the developmental importance of LTIA in uniting disparate musical features within a shared language as opposed to the polystylism of earlier progressive rock."
