Peter John Sinfield (born 27 December 1943) is an English poet, lyricist and artist, most famously known as the lyricist and co-founding member of early incarnations of King Crimson, whose debut album In the Court of the Crimson King has been regarded as one of the most influential progressive rock albums ever released. In 2005, Sinfield was noted as a "Prog rock hero" in Q magazine, for his impressive lyrical contribution and creative influence while working within the rock music industry. As a lyricist, Sinfield has a distinctive approach to the sounds of words, filled with surreal (and sometimes fiercely sexual) imagery, and a special facility with water-images and ideas involving the sea.

Peter Sinfield reading Epitaph (King Crimson) at the Genoa Poetry Festival, Palazzo Ducale, Italy 2010, 1968 Filmed by Franz Soprani http://franz.it/

EPITAPH including MARCH FOR NO REASON and TOMORROW AND TOMORROW (Fripp, Lake, McDonald, Giles, Sinfield)

The wall on which the prophets wrote Is cracking at the seams. Upon the instruments of death The sunlight brightly gleams. When every man is torn apart With nightmares and with dreams, Will no one lay the laurel wreath As silence drowns the screams.

Between the iron gates of fate, The seeds of time were sown, And watered by the deeds of those Who know and who are known; Knowledge is a deadly friend When no-one sets the rules. The fate of all mankind I see Is in the hands of fools.

Confusion will be my epitaph. As I crawl a cracked and broken path If we make it we can all sit back and laugh. But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying, Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying.

Album Number Four Hundred Eighty Nine “Evening Star” is the second studio album by British musicians #robertfripp and #brianeno. It was recorded from 1974 to 1975 and released in December 1975 by Island Records. My copy is on E. G. Records - EGS 103 (#egrecords was a British artist management company and independent record label, mostly active during the 1970s and 1980s. The initials stood for its founders, #davidenthoven and #johngaydon.) ….. The pair signed on as managers of #kingcrimson in early 1969, during the formative stage of the band and prior to the release of debut #inthecourtofthecrimsonking, with it springboarding their entrance into the record label and music publishing markets. They also signed #trex, #emersonlakeandpalmer and #roxymusic to management. This album's recording and the preceding seven-show European tour by #frippandeno marked Fripp's first output after disbanding King Crimson and his last before temporarily retiring from music (at the time thought to be permanently) to study at the International Academy for Continuous Education in Sherborne House. #rockandroll #ambientmusic #dronemusic #theseventies https://www.instagram.com/p/CqQX2pPuJAc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

【今日のレコード】最近の池袋交差点24時で何かと話題のキング・クリムゾンのファーストアルバムをプレイ。キング・クリムゾンは最近作(ライブ演奏)しかサブスクにアーカイブされていないのでCDかレコードを買うしかない。「21世紀の精神異常者」がいつの間にか「21世紀のスキッツォイドマン」という邦題に変わってた。知らなかった。 #KingCrimson #InTheCourtOfTheCrimsonKing #1969release https://www.instagram.com/p/Cddg7iypqxj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Little known fact … album cover artist Barry Godber dropped dead in the street of a heart attack just weeks after delivering his iconic album cover to King Crimson. He was just 21 years of age.

Rest easy fella.

[InTheCourtOfTheCrimsonKing] [King Crimson] [1969] [CD]

Everything has been said about this album, which has been called one of the first (if not the first) and thus style-defining album of progressive rock, from minor to mellotron and much more.

.

I'll just say this much: daring, surreal, prophetic, an eerie masterpiece, eerily weird but also eerily beautiful as well as masterfully overwhelming!

Anyone who is even the slightest bit interested in progressive rock needs this album, definitely.
