After the transitional ISLANDS, LARK`S TONGUES began the third Crimson phase that ended with RED. The quartet of David Cross, John Wetton, Robert Fripp and Bill Bruford (augmented on LARK`S TONGUES by madman percussionist Jamie Muir) is regarded as the most innovative of Crimson`s many lineups, offering hard-edged improvisations on an unprecedented level. With founding member/lyricist Pete Sinfield departed, Robert Palmer-James stepped in with a more cutting, concise lyrical approach that matched the group`s uncompromising instrumental precision.
The album opens with part one of the title track and closes with part two, and it`s a tour de force that would become a KC milestone. Indicative of the band`s mid-`70s sound it features Fripp`s laser-like art-metal guitar crunch bobbing and weaving around Wetton`s thick, Jack Bruce-like bass lines, Bruford`s confounding polyrhythms and Cross` ethereal violin. Each member challenges the others as the band is collectively driven into uncharted, often surprising terrain. As always, there are a couple of beautiful ballads. "Book of Saturday" and "Exiles" benefit from elegant, soaring melodies and Wetton`s emotive Greg-Lake-after-50-cigarettes vocal style. LARK`S TONGUES marked a new direction for the band and is easily among their finest efforts.
