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.

I know what you mean, but it could have been done more concisely. There's no reason a mood has to last for more than 1 minute.

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

whaaaa? Not to me. I still love the song, but there's only so many times I can stand to hear John Wetton repeat himself.
