Oh man, you have to get Red. That's my favourite album in existence, and Starless is the greatest song ever. :p

Scary Monsters is a great album - Teenage Wildlife is probably my favourite song. Bowie used Fripp on Scary Monsters and Wakeman on Hunky Dory.

EDIT: I feel like binging on Bowie now.

If it was compressed to say 6 minutes, just maybe.

The main thing I like about the song is all the different progressions. It starts out quite softly, so delicately and almost innocuously. It suddenly becomes dark and then there's the very minimal Fripp solo. That probably throws people off, but I love the way it builds in intensity and finally explodes into a saxophone solo and finishes in a cacophony.

Starless feels like a three-four minute song to me, it's over in a flash.

I have listened to a Rick Wakeman solo album in its entirety.

My attention span is rivaled by none.

Anyway, listening to Three of a Perfect Pair right now, I'll do the review in a few, its the next album up.

EDIT: Oh wait, I forgot Beat, dammit, guess I need to do it first.

Wow, you're continuing the marathon - good on you! I need to get around to writing my Lizard review at some point. Though uni has been raping me for time lately.

Just a quick thank you, to "boo boo" for a great dissertation about KC, I'd forgotten what a great progressive rock band they were, now I have been collecting all of their albums. I look forward to reading the rest of your reviews.
