Every time I listen this album, I'm more and more sure that it's one of the greatest masterpieces in the music history. At the end of the sixties, a mix of sounds so innovative and incredibly complex had never been heard before. Mellotron? Mellotron is only a instrument, how do we use it, make the difference. in 1969, year of releasing of In The Court of the Crimson King, the presence of this instrument had a very strong impact, today, after over 40 years, is the power of extraordinary compositions, that remains over the time.
