Great review Terry and if your intention was for your dear readers to dust their copy off and give it another listen, you've succeeded. With the exception of In the Court of the Crimson King, KC albums don't really reach out and grab you on the first listen but they are incredibly resilient to repeat listens.

There's a fun interview with Jon Anderson about the "Prince Rupert" session. To paraphrase, he said after the session, "Bob" Fripp, ever the anti-rock hyperbolist, thanked him like he was a plumber who'd just unblocked his sink and left it at that.

Fripp always speaks in his own (larks) tongue which is inevitable inaccessible, but rewarding once you work out what he's talking about.
