I love this. Either daramatic, from a horror movie as someone said below, or representing madness or the uncanny. I just watched the KC documentary and they used it when describing the time when Fripp was experiencing strange thoughts.

I'm 68 I had this album when it first came out, a great make out album my girl friend would get hot and ready listening to this album in my old 67 chevy. Great stuff, rip John Wetton

Спасибо, King Crimson, за прекрасную музыку.

Fingers reaching
Fingers reeking
Jump for the scream
Good night, honey
You're all alone
Baby, breathing
They come better looking
But they don't come mannered.

As evil as king crimson gets. This could be in a horror film score. Great tune to short

[johnfgibson]

pure genius...an improvisation...beyond belief

[ronniefarnsworth]

And the tape runs out !!! 🎞
Just the way we like it !! 😊

KC is musically the best I have heard. God save the King!

[whistleblower]

..and my absolute favorite KC songs comes right after this song ends!! Starless and Bible Black! Question. I know this song comes out of an improvisation, I've heard the entire song, but certainly there are certain PLANNED parts to this improv. For example, I'm not sure anyone has enough psychic ability to create words WITH HARMONY.

Live from Amsterdam Concertgebouw 1973.

fingers reaching
lingers shrieking
jump at a scream
goodnight honey
you’re all alone
baby breathing
they come better looking
but they don’t come madder

This Mincer Fellow is Kinda Scary Ngl Guys.

[flankscout]

Who is the mincer and what did he mince?

[twelveouncetrance]

Incredible song incredible album. Give a listen to Neutral Earth (full album) some equally good strangeness

[worldnotworld]

Creepy as hell. Who is it that goes "Wha!" or "Whoo!" in so many KC improvs of this era? Wetton, I'd guess, with the vocal mike right there, but Bruford too maybe?

[ashleyd]

all I want to know about this song is where is the next part??

[sidtheshuckle]

watch this be Acca Howler's stand
