"Red" by King Crimson appeared in my way pretty surprisingly and thankfully occupies a big big portion of my heart. Robert Fripp, the guitarist, composer and generally the psychotic father of King Crimson made his miracle again. And the word miracle to characterize the music of this album is not considered personal estimation. 

Proof to that is the fact that their point is made again understood to anyone who will listen to this record even after all these years. Again the musical ingredient of the record is very delicate and advanced technically, as most of King Crimson's works.


"Always listen to things that sound right to you, insist on things that express you and never say for an artist that his work isn't good...it might be your "fault" that you don't understand his music"…
These last lines are dedicated to King Crimson who never got what they really deserved... Hail to the Crimson King!!!
