TheFunkman Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 I'm putting together a practice video to familiarize myself with the Vegas editing program (NO commercial potential!) That's when it hit me... There's a King Crimson tune...toward the end, everything stops, and out of the speakers come some of the CREEPIEST VIOLIN SOUNDS EVER RECORDED. (I believe they call it "col legno" in violin circles.) Any idea which tune this is, and from which album? Thanks, and despite other posts to the contrary, THESE FORUMS RAWK!

jeffbayson Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 Big Crim-Head here... I'm not sure what song you're referring to. I would guess it would be from the mid-seventies Crimson, meaning, off of either Larks' Tongues in Aspic, Starless and Bible Black, or Red (which only has one song with violin on it). It could be "Fracture," the last tune off the album "Starless and Bible Black." About six minutes into the song, the beat stops, and you're left hearing feedback and some violin screeching, but then the song comes back.

AlChuck Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 I think you must be talking about the opening track of [i]Lark's Tongues In Aspic[/i] -- "Lark's Tongues in Aspic, Part 1." There's a few points where everybody drops out except Cross's violin playing a "creepy" figure, then Wetton's bass kind of swells up within it playing some fuzz-box line, and then it builds with percussion and finally Bruford rolls into this great savage hammering riff played by the whole band.

TheFunkman Posted November 11, 2003 Author Share Posted November 11, 2003 Yeah, "Larks' Tongue" sounds right...I'll see what I can dig up. Many thanks!
