The two hundred and seventy-fourth album: #274 King Crimson - Larks' Tongue in Aspic

I think it's fair to say that the titular track - or rather the two tracks bearing the title - are the core of this album. They're soundscapes, partially telling a story through the music, but where the first album used its lyrics for that too, here its focus shifts further towards using the music to set the environment. I don't think the lyrics made a real impact on any of the tracks this time, with the sound of it instead creating a mood to disappear into. It might look gimmicky from the outside, but I think this hits the right tone for me.
