King Crimson - Lark's Tongues in Aspic. The remastering is so good it's like hearing the album for the first time. The transition to the first loud section in Part 1 is so violent in this edition that I thought the roof was going to come down. Great stuff.

I should, perhaps add, for the other 2 King Crimson fans out there, that there is a 2012 15-CD (I kid you not) edition of Lark's Tongues in a vinyl-sized box. I just saw it in JB. I wouldn't part with the $202.95 they were asking for it, at least not today, but who knows how the hunger may grow?

On the other hand, the Lark's Tongues line-up of KC with 2 drummers only lasted for about 5 months, so it's hard to know where they got about 13 of the CDs from and what the sound quality would be like.

Except, of course, for the hiss and clicks. That's why remastered silence on CD is always preferable.

Meddle and The Piper at the Gates of Dawn by Pink Floyd. First time I've listened to either, and I have to say I prefer the Roger Waters incarnation of the band so far. Barrett's stuff is interesting, though.

Yes to both! Capybaras are my favourite animals. :D

You got something called Ummagumma (sp) by Floyd? It has a part where a fly buzzes around.

I recommend using good headphones or sitting equidistant from the 2 speakers, one either side, and listening to it stoned.Image

I have a friend who did that in 1974. So far as I know, he's still there.

I may well have to try that some time. :mrgreen:

(I've never heard Ummagumma, but I already like the cover!)
