Don't be silly, Frank. You're acting like an intellectual flyweight This is 
 interesting...

What is  it? 
It is the first in a series of informative, insightful, interactive,  
musical guides to the secret mechanics that power the mysterious music of King  
Crimson. It is generously illustrated with musical notation diagrams that you 
 simply click with your mouse to play using your computer's sound card. 
Plus  there's a full score of "Larks' Tongues In Aspic" you can play, print out 
and  keep. 
This is a scholastic yet accessible work. Andrew Keeling's credentials as  
composer and academic are impeccable and he will be well-known to King 
Crimson  enthusiasts as DGM recording artist and erstwhile diarist. Keeling's 
powerful,  challenging ideas are given full throat by Mark Graham's brilliant, 
interactive,  multimedia illustrations. 
This guide takes you through all the complexities of the music, stripping  
away layer after layer to reveal the inner workings of the exquisite 
machinery  of harmony, counterpoint and rhythm that, seemingly so effortlessly, go 
together  to make: "Larks' Tongues In Aspic".

"This is a 'must-have' for all fans of good music and a definitive  work on 
an icon of Progressive Rock."

Seems a bit over the top for such a simple piece of music.

The whole thing is just bollocks and is one of the reasons why Prog got such a bad press!
