King Crimson - Exiles

Stormy Mundy Selection (Occasional Series - Acts of Random Archive Rummaging)

The recording sessions for Larks’ Tongues In Aspic capture some of the flexibility that the new line-up enjoyed during their rehearsing and subsequent tour of the previous year. At the front of the track, Jamie Muir’s atmospheric rubbing glass rods with oily cloths and what sounds like an overdubbed zither exemplifies the creative approach to developing the feeling of the piece and it’s interesting to note that Fripp has a very clear idea about how much of it should be used in the final mix.

David Cross is playing flute though he was uncredited on the sleeve of the album and while not all of the flute heard in this take, or indeed the viola in the introduction, made it into the final mix it confirms again the exploratory aspects of the process at that time. John Wetton’s piano during the middle section was similarly left uncredited on the finished album. However, it’s lovely to be able to hear in greater detail the richness in tone and mood that it adds to the finished track. Finally, Fripp’s acoustic guitar, bright and crisp in sound, with decorative twinkling harmonics, is nevertheless steeped in melancholia that reflects the song’s subject matter, his delicate picking knitting the whole piece together.

I've also been a King Crimson fan from the very beginning and will remain so until my last hour strikes. RIP John Wetton 🙏

Для меня самая мощная из всех рок-групп конца 60-х, начала 70-х. Люблю и их более позднее творчество. Каждый раз слушаю ваши композиции как будто впервые, при этом знаю их наизусть. Не надоедает! Так держать, я состарился с этой музыкой, слушаю из лет 30 и она меня возвращает в мою юность, во времена качественной музыки, балансирующей на стыке многих музыкальных стилей и жанров.

I appreciate this stripped down version of Exiles. The sound on the Larks' album is heavy and easy to get lost in, yet this feels so breezy, light and thoughtful. Exiles has always been my favorite on the album because it has lots of little flourishes one would have to pay attention to, and here it's the focus.

I bought LTiA the day it came out. I went home and wore that record down to nothing. In my own life I was waiting to be sent into exile. Now it is soon to be 50 years since that day. As to me I did go into exile and I am still living that way. I love this song and Book of Saturday too.

Wetton - piano, Cross - flute, and Fripp - acoustic...🤔 that would make a delightful "Trio" 😉...especially Wetton on piano - the contributions of John here are a real revelation...

This is one of my favourite KC songs and it is fascinating to be able to look under the bonnet and see the different parts working. Thanks for posting.

Now this is what i call rock n' roll. Incredible. I didn't get into (come across) this album til i was 19, which was 1979, but once i did.. This song is in fact number 4, that's right, FOUR, on my Top 1000 Songs of All Time. How beautiful.

Fascinating. Shows up how much depth Crim could muster from a modest ensemble. Wetton piano, Cross flute, Robert acoustic!

When I saw KC for the first time in Mexico City (july 2017), the greatest surprise of the night was when they played 'Exiles'. I think that the 2014-2022 line up only played it two or three times.
