Hit: 5 Stars
Luis Mejia (son) - The result of a bombastic fussion; the complex, open minded and cultural style of Larks' Tongues In Aspic, with the start of the supreme dark and chaotic/hardest music King Crimson later totally acquired, Starless And Bible Black comes as the second album for King Crimson's second generation. The album is indeed a master piece, just because the music displays a wide, surreal and abstract musicianship but less explorative/comprehensive, its more melodic but yet experimental, gets a more classical aura but still with the most beautiful sense of progressive rock, and Starless And Bible Black is unique in their specific discography because its one of their best structured albums, the technical details are pure and capturing, and the production is flawless.
"The Great Deceiver" is the most bombastic, insane piece in the album, it gets their quirky sense of humor in a chaotic way, one of their bests; "Lament" is a softer piece but its dramatic, compelling atmosphere is delicate and fabulous; "The Night Watch" is probably the most classsically-inflicted piece in the album, possessing an incredible poetic theme with a castle-like scenary, the piece may be the most complex and Larks Tongues In Aspic-inspired in the album but borders from being overproduced; "Trio" is one of their most famous, a violin centered piece very unique in its form, while "Fracture" is another very famous, timeless classic, specially because its one of their instrumentals wich sounds really structured and well played, more comprehensive too, but if you notice carefully, this piece was the start of King Crimson's heavy brutality strictly kept in Red and from THRAK to The Power To Believe, the first guitar chords are very recognizable in their later works, the song is even kind of reprised in The ConstruKction Of Light in the song "FraKctured". In conclussion, this is argueably the best album from King Crimson's second generation, its certainly very well played (John Wetton's bass licks are delightful), and less explorative but more imaginative and structured than Larks' Tongues In Aspic, and much better supported, comprehensible but less brutal than Red, I strongly recommend this album for any casual listener and progressive rock lovers.
