CLASSIC MELLOTRON DRENCHED PROGRESSIVE
King Crimson
In The Wake Of Poseidon
\ USA - Atlantic Records (1875 Rockefeller Plaza) SD 8266
SCARCE original 1970 first press vinyl in thick & textured gatefold cover...this is the 1875 Rockefeller Atlantic pressing, which means first press....
For a band that is known for having various incarnations that are so different from each other that they don't even sound like the same band, it's odd that their first two albums are practically carbon copies of each other. For the most part, this album is overshadowed by its more successful predecessor. Still, there are many things to like here - "Cat Food" is a wonderful, jazzy, unpredictable little song -- also like the way they open with the "Peace" theme, then restate it in the middle of the record and again to close the album. "Cadence and Cascade" is a ballad (a la "I Talk to the Wind"), and a nice one; and while the title track is an obvious comparison to "Epitaph" or "The Court", and is equally pretentious and mellotron-soaked -- a very nice piece overall (particularly like the drumming) ... In fact, "In the Wake" has a grandeur missing from either of the mellotron epics on the debut. As mentioned above, "Cat Food" is an obvious winner, a crazy tune accentuated by Keith Tippett's bizarre piano runs. "The Devil's Triangle" is something most really like -- the dementia and noise present on this track is a complete change from the melodic niceness of the rest of the album, and it's a refreshing variation. Overall, anyone who liked the first album and doesn't mind some repetition of style should enjoy this one.
