It appears to me that when David said that he "scanned through" a  preview 
copy, it probably meant that he read the inside of the cover (quoted  here) 
and threw it in the trash. I just looked it up and this book was published  
by Douche Bag Press.

Even as a KC fan, this sort of thing makes me *despair*. 

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."



I  firmly believe that 99% of the musicologists are completely full of 
shit. The  other 1% don't like music.
