“In The Court Of The Crimson King” is the self-titled debut studio album of King Crimson and was released in 1969. The line up on the album is Greg Lake, Robert Fripp, Ian McDonald, Michael Giles and Peter Sinfield. No serious progressive rock fan can be without at least four or five King Crimson’s albums in his private collection.
The "court of the crimson king" referred to through the song represents the earthly presence we live in and are confined to. The lyrics at the beginning of the song, "I walk a road, horizons change, the tournaments begun" refer to the period in adolescence when the narrator starts to be judged and his own path leads him to new discovery.
The quintessential progressive rock album. Kronomyth 1.0: A Connecticut wanker in King Crimson’s court. The question of which was the first progressive rock album has many answers: The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, Days of Future Passed, Disraeli Gears, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, ad infinitum (or at least until the end of 1968).
