    In The Wake of In The Court
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2010*

Following "In The Court Of The Crimson King", "In The Wake Of Poseidon" was all the more remarkable, in that it contained half of the original group.  Songwriter Pete Sinfield now had nearly total lyrical control. "Poseidon" is peppered with more poetic and beautifully arranged songs than its predecessor, but also contains the stark urgency of that original."Peace-A Beginning", a sweet vocal/acoustic song opens and then transcends into the wild jazz infused "Pictures Of A City" where there are bridges and changes in momentum in less than eight minutes than on "In The Court's..." songs.  There is a theme within this album as songs seem to alternate between calm, whimsical melodies to the urgent, almost frantic pace of some of King Crimson's best songs.  This is proven again with the very pretty "Cadence And Cascade" before diving into the mellotron weighted title track, with great lyrics and the pre ELP vocals of Greg Lake.  The very short "Peace-A Theme" is quickly followed by one of King Crimson's most bizarre songs (if that is possible), "Cat Food" marked with a seemingly non-sensical piano that bounces around like; well a cat running back and forth across the keys.  Amazingly, this song was released as a single with "Groon" as the B-Side.  It was an odd choice indeed."The Devil's Triangle" (Parts 1, 2 and 3) are a mesmerizing, haunting, almost fearsome trio of songs that push the edge of sanity on a mellotron with a marching drum beat.  Part 1 introduces the listener to the original mood before a bridge of a computer-like foghorn pierces the song.  Part 2 continues the pace with a second bridge with the simple banging of a `stick on rock'.  Then all hell breaks loose on Part 3 with the tempo increasing and the occasional jazz input for emphasis and variety.  About a minute into the 3rd part the band begins a true concoction of a random free-form of musical mayhem, including a great short harmony vocal from "In The Court of The Crimson King".  Its musical madness until "Peace-An End" brings the album full circle with a calming melody and lyrics that seems to bring sanity back until the final fade-out.The 2010 mix of "Groon" is included here which is a rock/jazz influence that can only be King Crimson, with the dichotomy of making no sense and total sense at once.  Two extras on the CD are an alternate version of "Peace: An End" and a Greg Lake vocal of "Cadence And Cascade".The DVD contains the entire album remixed by Steven Wilson in 5.1 from the original studio master (note that "The Devil's Triangle" was painstakingly remixed from a stereo version).  Along with the 5.1, there is the Lossless 2010 Stereo Mix, The original 1970 stereo mix (the 30th Anniversary remaster) and some great bonus tracks.  The single version of "Cat Food" is here, along with three versions of "Cadence And Cascade", three versions of "Groon" (take 1, take 5 and take 15 for those who need all the details), the rehearsed version of "The Devil's Triangle" and an alternate mix of "Peace An End".King Crimson actually matches if not tops itself with this 40th anniversary edition with more music and great liner notes again, by Sid Smith.

    Bastet's Cat Food of the Gods
  

*by A***E on Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2018*

When correctly viewed, this recording becomes the second half of "The Krimson Album". A rather oblique reference to "The White Album" (The Beatles), but such an interpretation is not totally schizophrenic. The original recording (as first encountered on vinyl) seemed to be a logical continuation of King Crimson 1.0. It so fits the mood and groove of ITCOTCK, that it is difficult not to see ITWOP as 1.2 to the original's 1.1.  Of course, the personnel changes do render this second recording as the first document of the second iteration of King Crimson as a prog-rock band.Having stated the obvious, let us get down to brass tacks. One of the great songs of this band comes from this album. I am speaking of Cat Food. The critique of consumer culture is both biting and hummable. IMO, I wanted another verse, followed by a killer reiteration of the chorus. This old boy has always been hungry for more of KC's Cat Food.This 40th Anniversary Series edition provides two compact discs chockful of remasters, remixes (especially 5.1), and various material that is collected and presented for the hardcore Krimhead, or the a recent dabbler in the prog-rock arts.How does it rate:Music: A (very solid)Performance: ALyrical Content: B+/A-Audio Quality: A+Variety: A (strong)Compared to ITCOTCK: B+Bottom Line: Buy ITCOTCK first, then ASAP add this incredible follow-up.

    Beyond the court of the Crimson King...
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2012*

King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp faced a major problem as the 1960s became the 1970s and he was faced with the task of recording a second KC album: Basically, the rest of the band had quit on him, with bassist/vocalist Greg Lake joining Emerson, Lake and Palmer and drummer Michael Giles and sax/keys man Ian McDonald forming their own partnership.Yet Lake agreed to sing on most of "In the Wake of Poseidon." Giles covered the drum parts and his brother, Peter, the bass guitars. Mel Collins stepped in to perform on saxes and flutes, and Fripp added jazz pianist Keith Tippett to fill out the sound.The result was an album that sounded much like -- in fact, TOO much like -- its predecessor, "In the Court of the Crimson King." That, in fact, is the main problem with "Poseidon"; it seeks to emulate the mood an approach King Crimson had found so successful, but the songs are not nearly as memorable as those on the debut album.Still, there are some interesting tracks here, including the "Peace" themes that crop up several times. But the collaborative nature of the first record is largely missing; most of the pieces here were crafted by Fripp, with lyricist Pete Sinfield writing the words for the non-instrumental tracks. Fripp is a great, great guitarist, but in my opinion his songwriting frequently has benefited from working more in a group setting.For this re-release anniversary edition, Steven Wilson has remixed the tracks for stereo and 5.1, with the exception of the three parts of "The Devil's Triangle," presumably because the original source material couldn't be found. The result is a more spacious, "open" mix in which much more sonic detail emerges.
