David Cross and Robert Fripp are two of the four members of the awesome incarnation of King Crimson, John Wetton and Bill Bruford, were the other two members, that creates a small set of albums, that every progressive rock fan must have in his collection.
That was in 1973 and 1974, the albums: Lark tongues in Aspic, Starless and Bible Black and Red, this last one, their most magnificent creation, and also of King Crimson, in his entire life, second after The Court....Beside the usual creativity in sounds and rhythms by the quartet, in this stage the band made some melodic and inspired ballads, sung by Wetton and masterly crafted and played by the group. Lyrics by Carl Palmer-James. One of those ballads is Starless, a very long song of over 12 min. and IMHO I would ask it never ends, due to its beauty.
This is the answer to that plea.
Delicate variations in violin and mellotron (Fripptronic) for the lovers of such music.
For those that don't know such song or the style of music on those years by KC and Fripp... just skip it!!!.
Melody can be boring and iterative. For me a nectar of the spirit. web
