Starless and Bible Black

by King Crimson

Starless and Bible Black cover art

Largely composed of heavily edited, wildly inventive live recordings seamlessly blended with studio tracks, King Crimson's 'Starless and Bible Black' is a staggeringly complex achievement. The album is incredibly anxious and fiercely avant-garde, relying on remarkably technical, shifting time signatures and deeply cryptic, dark free-improvisation to push progressive rock to its absolute limits.
