King Crimson: Lark's Tongue In Aspic (Atlantic SD 7263)
Gary Lucas, Zoo World, 5 July 1973

After perfecting his mellotron-dominated "death of the universe" visions on the band's first three albums, three underrated albums, his compositional hand has increasingly been attracted to more serious, "complex" forms, a la modern day avant-garde jazz and orchestral music.
