I had a wonderful time playing the cornet on this album. Robert and the rest of the crew there were such an awesome group to be around. Being able to feature on an album created by rock legends was an experience I will never forget.
Yea Mark. As any old Crim fan can say..your name is very much recognizable. 'Out of the blue to see your post here. A suggestion: if in the London area go check out a Pete Giles & Yaz gig. Pete gigs. __ As for Robert, its' all just Sunday Brunches with Toyah.
I don't understand why this isn't considered one of the greatest classics? It really sounds like the music that orchestras play in operas, ballets, etc.
Islands really showcases Roberts musical genius. Utilising symphonic themes the way he did. The following 3 Crimson albums show how he was able to use what he learned within an electric setting. The inclusion of David Cross on accustic, and electric violin was truly inspiring.
I just can't believe this is for free. You mean I can just open this website and play it? And that's it? I get to listen to this for FREE???????!!!! God I love this band so much
Esa canción es hermosa una melodía única y de la más tristes que se escuchan. Ideal para despedir a un familiar o conocido, un réquiem para esa persona que quisiste.
Tu... Parli... Italianooooooo!!!!! Io se guardo i commenti di un video vado a cercare un italiano come me per potergli parlare e non !i succede quasi mai!!

prelude means a short song that is played before a longer and more important song, and this song is a prelude because islands follows it (which is 12 minutes) and islands is also the last song on the album
I used to think, that this was indpired by Arvo Pärt "Spiegel im Spiegel", until I found out that this was 7 years earlier. So was Pärt inspired by KC?

Damn Mark!!! Id know your name anywhere! I've worn this album out multiple times.

Mark, I have always loved the song Sticky Living by BB Blunder, on which you played a big part.
This is a very beautiful piece of music by any standard.. Congratulations for being part of it.. Did Robert do all the arrangement?
It's about Formentera, it was tje first LP I aquired at 14...❤
I always hated islands, just very recently I have discovered the beauty of it, and now it is one of my favorite crimson albums of all time
same thing with me but with red, I honestly can't understand why I didn't see how good it was during the first listen.
It’s my second or third favourite, can’t decide
Same
"hated islands"? as expected of furries
You were an a$$hole, but I dub thee redeemed!👍
I want this to be played at my funeral! So melancolic and yet so much hope for everyone that survives me!
Thank You Robert for giving clearance to the Crimson Jazz Trio to record “Islands “
RIP Ian Wallace
One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever.
So you might appreciate Spiegel im Spiegel by Arvo Pärt as well. It is stunning similar, yet even more intense.
How melancholy can be aesthetically beautiful and make it bearable. KC and the power of music in its version of humanity. Great
:/ I just like the music, I didn’t think it had a meaning.
King.... Gizzard?

Alternates between enchanting, despair, joy, anticipation, etc. Runs through the emotional spectrum. So beautiful.
'Islands' has been a go to record for me from the year it was released. One of my favorites in the catalog no question.
I don't understand why this isn't considered one of the greatest classics? It really sounds like the music that orchestras play in operas, ballets, etc.
Underrated song on an underrated album
Listening to this during an air raid alert... Greetings from Ukraine!
А я цю пісню слухав у ніч перед 24 лютого...
May it bring you the calm it always brings to me…
stay safe!

I truly believe he's the greatest composer musician of his era
i am crying this is beyond music
every KC album is an amazing masterpiece

@Genaro J. Capablanca They might get ad revenue for this but I'm not paying out of my pocket to use the youtube app, what's your point???

ES genial la calidad de la musica de estos locos
Grande King crimson!!
This is the sign of the ultimate original music from king Crimson
If there's any doubt that Robert Fripp is a musical genius, I suggest listening to this album!
He's one of the great composers of his time
Islands Gang rise up.
@54ber But Islands good.
Reporting in for duty sergeant 🫡
This was the only album of theirs that I hadn't heard yet and damn, I love this - this is their most beautiful work
Best band
simplemente bello... y cuando lo escuché por primera vez en 1971 fué mágico...
Always I loved this record,Islandés.Very special.☀️🌌
sy tinggal di kota yg banyak kegiatan kuliah dan kerja. Dengan dengar Lagu ini sebagai pengganti liburan ke pantai dan daerah pesisir.
My New favorite calm song
Hauntingly beautiful

Es muy acertado lo que usted dice y refiere.
Si estoy de acuerdo y además es del soundtrack del film Son de Mar saludos
This song is made by the same band that made 21st Century Schizoid Man
Also Level Five, Elephant Talk and Red
and heartbeat xd
Hard to believe, isn't it?
タイトル曲もさることながら
この曲もメロディの繊細さ美しさに惹き込まれました
私的にはリザード同様 一連のクリムゾン作品の中では地味なアルバムなのですが
この曲からアイランドへの流れは唯一無二だと思います
You are right

Who's excited for Islands!!!
Completamente hermoso e infravalorado. ...porque carajos....
porque el nivel mental de la humanidad en su conjunto es bastante básico y rasca
We are all here for a reason. Isn't it wonderful? To deserve this beauty?
Que belleza de canción definitivamente
Life was better when I didn't know what this song was called, because I wasn't able to listen to it whenever I wanted to and become dependent.
ART
so beautiful
Das beste instrumental King Crimson klaszysz 🎶 muzyk .
My youth is here!
So beautiful ...
2014, i put this disc in and drove thru Death Valley and it was the perfect soundtrack
Miraulous
this track is absolutely beautiful, I think the whole album Islands was much better than the later cacophonic works
Sweet and beauty sadness thanks💕
This is my “Go To” Album when it comes to being stranded upon a desert island…. A single music carry item situation ;-)
Sounds like it could be straight out of JRPG from the 90s. And I mean that as a compliment

ISLANDS il miglior album rock di tutti i tempi
Tu... Parli... Italianooooooo!!!!! Io se guardo i commenti di un video vado a cercare un italiano come me per potergli parlare e non !i succede quasi mai!!
No, io non conosco ISLANDS, però conosco IN THE WAKE OF POSEIDON, IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING e RED
Non altri
Quanti anni hai??
@@giorgiopiccoli6476 ti dico solo che l'album Islands l' ho acquistato nei miei 16 anni. ..fatti un po di conti
Mister Marc Charig, this one is not your tune, but nevertheless, I'd like to bless you again. And also for your work on RED !
Who the hell disliked this magic?!
I get the feeling a lot of the calmer parts of Kingdom Hearts soundtrack were influenced by this.
Prelude: Song Of The Gulls， the more i listen to it the better it sounds.
The pizza

Anche musica da camera!!!!!! Anche questo è ROBERT FRIPP e i SUOI King Crimson!!!!!!!! ISLANDS è uno dei dischi più affascinanti della band!!!!!!!!! Io lo pongo ai primi sette albums del gruppo!!!!!!! Poi quello che verrà dopo mi piace ma NON mi farà più entusiasmare come quei 7 in studio!!!!!!!!
Max Richter has made an entire career off of music like this! This sounds like half of his score from - "My Brilliant Friend"!
why prelude is in the middle
prelude means a short song that is played before a longer and more important song, and this song is a prelude because islands follows it (which is 12 minutes) and islands is also the last song on the album
Once with the oboe, once without it
I used to think, that this was indpired by Arvo Pärt "Spiegel im Spiegel", until I found out that this was 7 years earlier. So was Pärt inspired by KC?

Musica da camera?
impresionism
Goriotanadan görüp geldik buraya 🫠
What you mean this is a rock band
SI FRIPP HUBIESE NACIDO EN EL SXIX SERÍA BRAHMS
sounds very baroque
le must...
This sort of reminds me of the Lord of the Rings soundtrack.
So I'm not the only one who thought that😅
Annoyingly strings and ensemble are uncredited except for Wilf Gibson of ELO on violin.
Lovely piece but out of place on a Crimson album.
Not really out of place, considering there was nothing normal about Crimson.
@@funkster007 Well that's true...
Ladies of the Road doesn't sound like king crimson
