And now, after more than three decades, four of the original King Crimson members are reuniting under the collective banner of The 21st Century Schizoid Band . . .



Here you will find British composer Andrew Keeling's in-depth analyses of the first four king Crimson albums as well as works by White Willow.

And in more recent developments . . . Prelude: Song of the Gulls is presented completely free of charge (electronic download only) by way of introduction to his exciting new series. Prelude: Song of the Gulls contains 13,600 words, 15 pics (including some previously unpublished) and more than 80 resolution independent, multi-media, 'musical' illustrations.



The first CD in the series is "Larks' Tongues In Aspic" (also available for purchase from DGM). This is a much larger work covering the entire album and features a not-to-be-missed, full study-score and synthetic performance of LTIA Pt2

The Keith Christmas Website
Keith can be heard playing acoustic guitar on Hanging Fire and on the David Bowie album Space Oddity . His 1974 album, Brighter Day , was produced by Peter Sinfield who has said of him
"I do remember how many times you made King Crimson work so much harder as a result of having not only opened but near as dammit "stolen" the show!!"
Currently he is engaged in a duo with his wife Julia , a new blues project called KCBlues, and the reissue of several of his old albums and CDs.


Norway's premier purveyors/ perpetrators of symphonically inclined rock. In the words of guitarist Jacob Holm-Lupo, "White Willow is a band deeply dedicated to gnosis and alchemy".

LYRICAL ANALYSIS:

Fernando Higas has launched Liricas Progresivas , a site dedicated to the great works of progressive music. Of course, on top of the list is In the Court of the Crimson King and the later works of King Crimson. The site has the lyrics in English, a translation into Spanish and one or two pages of commentary on each record. Most of the material is in Spanish.

Two pages with in-depth analysis of Genesis lyrics:

The Path: Peaceful Shades of Green by Uwe Hoppe
The pastoral tradition in early Genesis.

And...
Explanations about things in Genesis and solo songs

A page with links to numerous essays about the lyrics of Bob Dylan . If this subject interests you, Desolation Row, or The Waste Land's Main Street by Nicola Menicacci is a good place to start your exploration.
