In the Wake of Poseidon, released in 1970, is the second studio album by English Progressive Rock group King Crimson. Recorded shortly after the release of In the Court of the Crimson King, it was marked by substantial changes to the band's lineup, with Ian MacDonald and Michael Giles parting ways following the conclusion of King Crimson's first tour in 1969. Additionally, midway through the album's recording, vocalist Greg Lake was headhunted by Keith Emerson from the recently-dissolved band the Nice to join what would become Emerson, Lake & Palmer, resulting in guitarist Robert Fripp and lyricist Peter Sinfield being the only members left. This would set a pattern that would continue throughout the band's career, establishing King Crimson as a Revolving Door Band whose lineup would change with almost every new album.Sound-wise, the album is a direct continuation of its predecessor. Not only does it feature the same Jazz Fusion sound with copious Classical Music influences (right down to a loose adaptation of Gustav Holst's "Mars, Bringer of War"), but several tracks are direct homages to ones from In the Court of the Crimson King. To consolidate this approach and ensure that the album could be completed, Fripp and Sinfield brought in a handful of session musicians to flesh out what was yet to be completed, including Peter Giles of King Crimson's precursor band, Giles, Giles and Fripp, and future King Crimson members Mel Collins and Gordon Haskell.With the unexpected domestic success of In the Court of the Crimson King having built up plenty of anticipation for a follow-up, In the Wake of Poseidon peaked at No. 4 on the UK Albums chart, just barely edging out its predecessor in chart performance. In the US, it would only reach No. 31 on the Billboard 200 (compared to the No. 28 peak of its predecessor).In the Wake of Poseidon was supported by one single: "Cat Food".Tracklist:Side One "Peace — A Beginning" (0:51) "Pictures of a City (Including 42nd at Treadmill)" (7:57) "Cadence and Cascade" (4:35) "In the Wake of Poseidon (Including Libra's Theme)" (8:24)Side Two "Peace — A Theme" (1:15) "Cat Food" (4:52) "The Devil's Triangle" (11:30) "Merday Morn" (3:47) "Hand of Sceiron" (4:01) "Garden of Worm" (3:45) "Peace — An End" (1:54)Personnel:Principal member: | |
