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.
