Listening Booth – King Crimson, “One More Red Nightmare”

More prog goodness, you say?  Sure!  Here’s my favorite KC tune ever, from their 1974 masterpiece Red.

Witness the majestic and face-melting drumming of one Bill Bruford, who absolutely owns on this number.  My favorite moment comes just after the 4:20 mark, when he kicks out this sinister groove that I could listen to on repeat all day.  That weird-sounding cymbal he uses, in a stroke of great luck, was the result of some impromptu dumpster-diving.

Forget just prog rock, kids, music doesn’t get much better than this.

    Love it. I’m a huge Crimson fan. Thanks for a nice 7-minute break in my day. By the way, I interviewed Bruford on my old radio show about 6 or 7 years ago, when his jazz group released a 2-CD live set. Very nice guy,

    Glad you enjoyed it. And by the way, if you ever manage to score an interview with Hank Jones on your site I will be forever in your debt. Well, at least for a few months.
