"this is better than lizard agreed"

I had just one listen, but I can totally see that tbh. Lizard is good, but didn't hit me the same way as Court, Wake or this.



"It used to be a 3.1-3.2 a while back. Luckily people are starting to realize how good it actually is"

Oh damn. I'm happy the trend is upwards, but that's also pretty sad. I'm kind of torn on this. But when in doubt I try to focus on the positives

I agree. It deserves a review with a better rating, really.

I couldn't f*cking believe this site's audience when I saw this was so low.

There's an (admittedly old) staff 4/5 review, surely that's better than a user 2.5/5.

Ah, didn't realise it was you Fripp.

Well in that case there's another user review which has 100% approval (and a 4/5 score).

Counter c.w discog run, train station; hummm, what a ancient low rating that i can no longer explain, I gave.

I probably need to relax before listening to this, to fully appreciate. Hoping for a mammoth rate bump, inspired by sput m8 "Islands" music enthusiast. "Only crazy people dont change their mind" maxim will prevail, here, I suspect. Listening on Remastered HDCD 2000 Jap Ed.

But when in doubt I try to focus on the positives [2]

Sample; "Sailor's Tale" is immense [2]

KCs more subdued albums are mad underrated, some of the songs really hit the feels for me.
