Crimson always satisfies, Fripp ran from fame and notoriety, should be revered as one of the most important composers of the century
He should be Jesus
@@magosreditus295 Jesus should be him
Agreed

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.
Thank you for your service. Your work is now legend. Awesomeness, man...
Congratulations to you on your fine work on this and many other fine recordings of this magnificent time in music history.
Wow, that's great to hear. Some of the musicians collaborating with Fripp around this time actually said it was an extremely unpleasant experience, some of them were reportedly disinterested, angry or even crying...
If it was really you, you took part in one of my all time favorite instruments.
Loved your cornet solo on the title track! 💙
The power of the mellotron!

It puts everything else in perspective doesn't it? Truly amazing, I skipped this album for too long.
and peter's pedal harmonium as well
I am a 70 year old grandmother and I have been a fan of the King Crimson since they first formed. You guys are the best rockers since sliced bread! Yahoo! :)
continue with this opening of spirit. I am only 60 years old
i’m really glad to see original KC fans in these comments. amidst all the “jojo” talk, it’s a refresher to see the REAL fans. long live the best prog band in the world 🤘🏻
I'm 61.Yes. I agree.
I'm 29 :) You are awesome! Sliced bread is pretty great too :)
I'm with you there.
The first time I heard this album we had just split some blotter acid 4 ways and it did not take long to feel this happy vibes. By the time we got to this song, we were flying! I remember how the ending crescendo sent us to the moon. We followed up Islands with The 12 Dreams of Dr Sardonicus and then Meddle by Pink Floyd. I don't remember anything about the rest of the trip other than having a great time. Music was more than just a 3 minute pop hit that is quickly forgotten now a days, then it was meant to really get into it, revisit whole albums and debate their place in music. Great tune from King Crimson, one of many. 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
Trance rock, jazz rock, metal, prog? An instrumental that transcends categories and hasn't aged a day ... bitter-sweet and good for the soul.
There’s a folk n ethnic element to the prog fusion…feels like roaming through indigenous indian desert and it’s almost sunset
The Godfathers of Math-Rock
The instrumental is within its own category, and that category is named Fripp.
Drumming is outstanding on this track!
Ian Wallace was the drummer, and an unfathomable performance.
I'd be dead after 20 seconds.....
King Crimson... The Best Band In The Universe For Sure..... It's A Statement
I agree with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
correct
After King Crimson there are Pink Floyd then there is emptiness...IMO
4:20 insanity
Completely
Wow ! Right?
Cheerful Insanity, to be more precise
The Islands album cover is so nice to look at. It's like looking at a glass of wine.
Fuck kind of wine are you buying lmao
@@firebrand4074 the kind with stars and nebulas in it yes, what do you have against it? (Jokes aside, i was talking about the wine like color of the cover and the stars reminded me of light being reflected on wine.)
I can’t play this loud enough. Transcendent.
This is 100% one of the best songs of all time.
Absolutely my favourite King Crimson album. Love the bass and vocals, Mel Collins brings the jazz, tremendous drumming and then Fripp applying scintillating genius guitar. Shout out to the great lyrics (I won't hear a word against Ladies of The Road - it's documentary!). And then you have the classical players on top. Truly a fantastic album
4:26 I distinctly remember laughing the first time I heard this. I was so happy the track was genuinely realizing itself, that the long build up was actually paying off. Which is really rare imo. One thing KC does fantastically: give you a proper climax!
This whole album sounds way better when you're ill. It resonates with you on deeper levels thanks to its tired energy
Dramatic and hypnotic...another KC masterpiece :)
I love the buildup of the mellotron at the end.
I went through high school with King Crimson, Moody Blues, Pink Floyd, Yes, and of course the Beatles. Oh wow those were heady days! A nice doobie, and I would lay awake on school nights with my headphones on. One of the best bedtime treats you could ever ask for.
I adore King Crimson! Especially his Epitaph.
From Russia with live. Michael.
yes they are very good, hug
Mi álbum favorito ISLANDS!!!✌🏼🎸💗👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Islands Gang rise up
I was fortunate to experience a King Crimson concert in 1971 at the Eastown Theater in Detroit.
Their music soared & so did I. Timeless....
Did you know that the official King Crimson website, DGM Records, are selling a CD recording of the concert in Detroit you attended back in 1971?
It's sold thru the Collector's Club feature.
@@nickgodalin6487 Thanks for the info! Music is our time-machine....
Beyond even a soundtrack for a horror movie. This is terrifying music. Love it.
I Love jazz rock of early King Crimson .
Extremely talented band. Bravo. 👏👏👏
The implied context of the song combined with the album artwork and the gigantic atmosphere always gave me a feeling of sailing through deep space with this song
King crimson es mi droga
Love this song so much it's all at once epic, jazz, prog and experimental a true representation of what King Crimson was in the 70's.
Agreed, this may be one of the first true fusion songs recorded.
@@jimreeves1 nah not even close
one of the best grooves in the discography
This track kills me every time I listen to, no matter the time... The mellotron (I guess is that) in 3:00, and how increases volume at 3:36, while that crazy chords still hit. And, of course, the climax in 4:20-4:26, one of the best music moments I've ever heard. The key note in 4:27 is simply crushing, and how comes the drums and mellotron. Simply no words. The word masterpiece doesn't do enough justice here.
Great to be among people who love Crimson. I have since 1969.
I adore King Crimson! Especially their album In the Court of the Crimson King.
From Russia with love. Michael
I bought the album because I could never find the whole thing online until now. My neighbors have listened to Islands more than I have by now
one of my fav songs of all times.
Best song from the album
HOLY CRAP. I HAVE NOT BEEN HYPNOTIZED LIKE THIS BEFORE!!!!!!!!
Best track on the album by miles
What a fascinating instrument the mellotron was/is!
I don't think any band has used it better.
@@sdgakatbkDefinitely not in my opinion
@@Ballonpoire39 Cool. What band do you think used it better?
@@sdgakatbk Whoops! I meant definitely not like, no other band has come close to using it as well as King Crimson!
@@Ballonpoire39 👍
How have I never heard this magnificent tune?!? Amazing at every turn!
My mum loved KC. Took her to see them at Watford Town Hall in um er 1972? Devils triangle played live! Amazing with light show too!
HA! Wish I could get my mom into King crimson!
Ian MacDonald left cause he didn’t want to play Devil’s Triangle.
I guess that they morphed Mars into Devils Triangle because of copyright issues, but as a 15year old, it blew my socks off, never mind my mind.
Been jamming to this band for 50 years, hypnotic!
The thing I love most about KC is the fact that its music defies categorization, even the commonly attached label of prog rock failes to express the pure uniqueness expressed in their music, instead of taking a pre existing musical structure and reinterpretating it in their own way, they create their own structure, the sum of their influences infused with their creative drive. Art.
Sublime
Actually it was put under a definitive genre that defines and expresses all of their sound: King Crimson.
It might be controversial but that's the truth
That is progressive rock, a label that defies itself
Boz Bass
Kings of songs
More than this,Robert,do it,please.
I can't put in to words how great this song is. In the beginning when Ian Wallace tapped the ride symbol, is simply impeccable, along with how his drums are throughout the entirety of the song. The drumming, it's simply amazing. Boz Burrell's bassline in this song is very great, I am glad he was a member of King Crimson for this album. The first beat drop is simply incredible and how it melds into a chord solo from Robert Fripp, very unique and great. Eventually it transitions something else entirely. The haunting, HAUNTING organ playing in the background gives an ethereal feel to the song. And after the song seems to end that organ still continues. It feels like something that would give me nightmares as a kid. Simply put, it's one of their best songs, for sure definitely the best off this album. King Crimson is disgustingly underrated and this is just another example of why.
Eu estava delirando de febre quando ouvi essa música pela primeira vez. Foi uma das experiências mais loucas da minha vida.
Imagine if you were dropping a dot.😅
Robert Fripp is the first Guitar player that I ever heard make his Guitar say.... "ouch, ouch ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch, ouch!" I like Robert's style. 😎
This is magic not just music.. these are magicians
Islands is a flawed album, but the title track is a rare moment of blissed-out beauty from this normally tense, coiled band, and this instrumental points ominously to the improvisational aggression of the Wetton era (from 'Larks Tongues In Aspic' through to 'Red'). Brilliant!
This album gets SOOO close to perfect too. The only things that ruin it for me are Ladies Of The Road and Song Of Gulls
Really? I think it's that breadth of styles that makes this album so good - dirty funk and semi- classical thrown into the mix - it's so unlike anything that was around at the time
Masterpiece
What Sheer Terror!
Que som bom :)
Sim....Um saludo de Italia....Amo Brasil....Ate' mais
Thanks ^-^
Caraca, outro brasileiro. É raro encontrar pessoas aqui no Brasil com esse gosto musical.
simplesmente intankavel, esta banda é muito boa, feliz por ver outro br aqui
The live version of this song on the 'Earthbound' album is also very good.
Top shelf ❤🙌😍
Fantastic composition. I first heard it in college, never forgotten.
Its one one my favorit since i first discovered KC
There is nothing like it !!
I like this Fripp
Es increíble 🙏
maravilloso .... lucen mas colores..;)
Wonderfool piece of rock.
This chorus has been my greatest inspiration ! Love KC
Magistral! Lima - Peru
Ladies and Gentleman...King Crimson❤️
Oui le Rock progressif ça existe !
Longue vie au Roi Pourpre !
thanks for injury reserve for sampling this amazing song
RFripp e un xenio!!!!..punto.😎✌🖖🎵🎵🎶🎶🎶💜💜💜
Music not meant to be played quietly !
Must be on full blast every time when listening to Crimson
El mellotron es el Maelstrom. La percusión, la guitarra banjo y el bajo parecieran ser el marinero y su barco que intentan escapar del vórtice. La historia del marinero
Very good
this is SO ADDICTING AAAAAAA
KING CRIMSON. 💎💎💎🎼🎼🎼🕪
Oh yeah, one of my favorites!
I adore King Crimson! This music composition ang their song Epitaph.
From Russia with love. Michael

that one time kc dipped into jazz fusion
The one time? Hahaha
🎶✨🏝✨🎶
The album cover should be updated with the latest James Webb version.
The beginning part reminds me a lot of Soft Machine any other Soft Machine fans here? Criminally underrated prog jazz band
@P_ng there albums "Third" and "Fourth" are honestly my favorite jazz albums definitely check those out if you haven't
@P_ng thanks for the recommendations I'll definitely check them out I'm also glad you enjoyed Soft Machine Hazard Profile on Bundles is so good
Soft Machine is one of my favorites as well.
Yes, Crimson and Soft Machine kept me alive in 1968, 69, 70.
One of Soft Machine's early members played in this album
pero que temazo csm
As strange as this sounds, I wish the British band ‘Bauhaus’ would have done a cover of this song. I think would have pulled it off quite well.
This sound is incredible Reunion?With BOZ and Mel?
Boz passed away in 2006.
Ah boz is responsible for the choreography of course.
Frenetic guitar avec mellotron.. what's not to like ?
the fathers of Tool and true seventies kings
reminds me of php Daevid and Gili
God bless them!
such a whacked out solo by mr. wilcox
2:36
First 3 LPS best
Thanks the lord you have left steven fuckinmeddlingintoanyoneelsesmixes wilson out of the door. THIS, is the original KICKASS mix!!!
How is his mix different? Can you pinpoint some discernable attributes of the two mixes for me?
I couldn't tell you if I've ever heard the newer remix or not.
Thx in advance for any response.
@@nickgodalin6487 the "menacing mellotron approaching" at 3:02 and 3:35 is completely fucked up in the SW version. Give me time to retrieve that mixing and to post it here and you will find out yourself Listening is believing. The video we are commenting is the original mix.
@@oilingup okay, thanks for getting back to me. I certainly will listen carefully for those parts if you are successful in posting that mix. It would be sheer blasphemy to tinker with or degrade the greatest KC recording ever committed to magnetic tape.
Grate
The coda of Mahler's Sixth Symphony is unequalled in its sense of devastation and desolation. This (6:35) is not far behind
