Free Music Notes for In the Wake of Poseidon: 30th Anniversary Edition
Free Music Review: This album would surely wake Poseidon
Hit: 5 Stars
Luis Mejia (son) - After their stunning and critically acclaimed debut, King Crimson decides to continue with this original style that was leaving everyone impressed. The style and composition of this album is surely noticed to have a great amount of inspiration from In The Court Of The Crimson King, I would even call it as a continue, and the last one with the beloved singer Greg Lake.
Even after the great success of the debut album, it was obvious that their music didn't fit in everyone's heads, and even with the most positive critics, it stood on the album charts as #23. In The Wake Of Poseidon is much the same history; very positive critics, amazing music and almost the same chart position (#35), but its just so nice to hear it, every track is worth and you'll be very familiarized with the sounds and moods of the debut album.
Apart from the fact of being closely related to the debut album, this album is just perfect in every way; the composition is very original and well thought, the instruments are played in an incredibly sofisticated way, and the moods that dominate the album are improvisational, pure, mature, soft, calm, just beautiful. It's also a principal source of musical evaluation when it comes to comparing it with other KC albums like the heavy and mature compositions in the debut album, the jazzy style and soft debilities later shown in Lizard, the much more shown inclination to improvisation shown in every other album with much more devotion (specially Starless And Bible Black) and the soft and calm moods that I compare a lot with Islands. King Crimson was definitively making themselves a way of cultural following and complex understanding.
The songs are all unique in their own special way: the three fragments of Peace would be a reference to King Crimson devotion of breaking songs into little fragments (just like fragemnts of Larks Tongues In Aspic and The Power To Believe). The heavy jazz in Picture Of A City and little jazz arrengemets in Cat Food (my favorite in the album) marks a trace of an interest of new styles and the mix of genres to produce spectacular results just like in songs like Lady Of The Dancing Water (Lizard), Lament (Starless And Bible Black) and The Letters (Islands). The powerful and poetical pieces demonstrated in In The Wake Of Poseidon (shown before like in the songs Epitaph and The Court Of The Crimson King). Finally the soft and calm moods that can catch by surprise with heavy instrumentation such as Peace and Cadence And Cascade.
In conclussion this album is just another incredible success, original sounds and very well thought composition. I recall it as their second best album. Critical for every prog or KC fan to listen to it, but if you may want something far away from the debut album you might not find it so attractive.
