This is a lot tastier than "Cat Food".......2007-06-18

As the author of the Jefferson Airplane book "Take Me To A Circus Tent" and a former radio disc-jockey, I am often asked to write and or discuss various recordings from the 60's and 70's.

"In the Wake of Poseidon" King Crimson's second and superlative effort will never get the credit it deserves because from the day it was released it has only been compared to the debut Crimson recording. Since the first King Crimson album is one of the finest records ever, it immediately put an albatross around the follow-up.

If you listen to "In the Wake of Poseidon" and judge it not against the initial Crimson offering but on its own merits, the results were tremendous (Under the most difficult of circumstances).

Ian McDonald had exited and his unique approach to the mellotron would have to be replaced. Greg Lake the voice of the group would leave shortly and soon create legendary music under the name ELP.

Robert Fripp took on the Herculean task of not only playing guitar for the sessions but mellotron as well. The result saw a blending of the instruments in a scholarly fashion.

"Peace- A Beginning" is a haunting opening to the festivities. It comes out of nowhere and is perplexing in its short structure (Fifty seconds).

"Pictures Of A City" goes the opposite direction. It is eight minutes of Robert Fripp's musical intensity. He is the professor leading his students.

"Cadence And Cascade" is a work of beauty. The acoustic guitar and vocals work as if they were one. Do not let the preconceived notions of Gordon Haskell not being Greg Lake (Obviously) diminish the results. Gordon would sing on this song only.

The title track has Greg Lake's voice full of power and passion. It could cut through titanium and still be gentle when needed. This will grab your attention on the first listening.

"Peace- A Theme" slows things down for a bit over a minute but also gives you a false sense of security for what is next.

"Cat Food" pulls out the kitchen sink and everything else is its way. Ironically, in a truncated form this was the single from the album!

"The Devils Triangle" is the longest piece on the album. The drums sound as if you are attending a marching bands rehearsal as the other instruments improvise through an impressive journey of diverse sounds.

"Peace- An End" A short vocal dominated tune would signal the end of a time tested treasure and another chapter in the saga we call King Crimson.

If you get the edition with the bonus tracks you can enjoy the single version of "Cat Food" and the B side "Groon."

Enjoy the music and be well,

Come on now, this CD rules.......2007-05-17

Okay, this may be similar to their debut album In the Court of the Crimson King, but it is longer and just as good. It has a great variety of tracks from soft and moody (Cadence and Cascade) to funky (Pictures of a City) to just plain fun (Cat Food). This is an essential buy for King Crimson fans.

Impressive followup, though strangely familiar.......2007-04-21

The common complaint about this album is that it is an almost song-for-song clone of the band's debut, "In The Court Of The Crimson King." To make things worse, the band has already begun to fragment and lineup changes had already begun before the disk was completed. However, this is still a great album. "Pictures Of A City" may not have the collective group feel of "21st Century Schizoid Man," but it's just as agressive and has some excellent guitar work. "Cadence And Cascade" is just as pretty as "I Talk To The Wind," and "Cat Food" has a great jazz-rock feel with wild piano work by Keith Tippet. Some songs even do better on this album than the debut's counterparts they are modelled after: I much prefer the title track over 1969's "Epitaph," and "The Devil's Triangle" is a nicer look at the band's improvisational style than the free form ending of "Moonchild." The mellotron work on this album is very nice. King Crimson records are some of the most well-produced albums ever made and I can certainly recommend this one.

In The Court Of the Crimson King Part II.......2007-03-21

This album is very similiar to their first album 'In The Court Of The Crimson King.' Robert Fripp wanted to and did prove that he could have written the first album, on his own.

Fripp takes over the Captains wheel and mans the Mellotron duties as well .......2007-02-06

1. Peace-A Beginning - Already out of the band, Lake does a favor and sings beautifully here and on this album. IMO Lake, McDonald and Giles should have taken a break instead of breaking up after 1 album and tour.
2. Pictures of a City - 21st Century Schitziod Man Part. 2
3. Cadence and Cascade - Not a good track sung by the (embarrased to have been in Crimso) Gordon Haskell
4. In the Wake of Poseidon - Epitath part 2, Melotron by Fripp
5. Peace - A Theme - Forgettable Guitar theme
6. Cat Food - OK, but well its just OK
7. Devil's Triangle: Merday Morn/Hand of Sceiron/Garden of Worm - Here we go, the deep sea set to a nightmare of music, thats a compliment. THis would of fit nice on the debut instead of the long improv jam
8. Peace - An End - Goodbye Greg Lake

this album would surely wake Poseidon.......2007-07-10

Luis Mejia (son) - After their stunning and critically acclaimed debut, King Crimson decides to continue with this original style that was leaving everyone impressed. The style and composition of this album is surely noticed to have a great amount of inspiration from In The Court Of The Crimson King, I would even call it as a continue, and the last one with the beloved singer Greg Lake.

Even after the great success of the debut album, it was obvious that their music didn't fit in everyone's heads, and even with the most positive critics, it stood on the album charts as #23. In The Wake Of Poseidon is much the same history; very positive critics, amazing music and almost the same chart position (#35), but its just so nice to hear it, every track is worth and you'll be very familiarized with the sounds and moods of the debut album.

Apart from the fact of being closely related to the debut album, this album is just perfect in every way; the composition is very original and well thought, the instruments are played in an incredibly sofisticated way, and the moods that dominate the album are improvisational, pure, mature, soft, calm, just beautiful. It's also a principal source of musical evaluation when it comes to comparing it with other KC albums like the heavy and mature compositions in the debut album, the jazzy style and soft debilities later shown in Lizard, the much more shown inclination to improvisation shown in every other album with much more devotion (specially Starless And Bible Black) and the soft and calm moods that I compare a lot with Islands. King Crimson was definitively making themselves a way of cultural following and complex understanding.

The songs are all unique in their own special way: the three fragments of Peace would be a reference to King Crimson devotion of breaking songs into little fragments (just like fragemnts of Larks Tongues In Aspic and The Power To Believe). The heavy jazz in Picture Of A City and little jazz arrengemets in Cat Food (my favorite in the album) marks a trace of an interest of new styles and the mix of genres to produce spectacular results just like in songs like Lady Of The Dancing Water (Lizard), Lament (Starless And Bible Black) and The Letters (Islands). The powerful and poetical pieces demonstrated in In The Wake Of Poseidon (shown before like in the songs Epitaph and The Court Of The Crimson King). Finally the soft and calm moods that can catch by surprise with heavy instrumentation such as Peace and Cadence And Cascade.

In conclussion this album is just another incredible success, original sounds and very well thought composition. I recall it as their second best album. Critical for every prog or KC fan to listen to it, but if you may want something far away from the debut album you might not find it so attractive.

If the CD had been invented a generation earlier..........2005-12-15

...this album wouldn't really be a cutout today. It would be part of a sixty-something-minute "In the Court Of the Crimson King", consistent with the length of present-day Crim albums. The resulting expanded "Court" would contain the good stuff like "Pictures Of A City" (a hard-hitting piece that would make it so "21st Century Schizoid Man" wasn't the only hard-rocker), "Cadence and Cascade" (a good ballad in the style of "I Talk To the Wind"), "In the Wake Of Poseidon" (a decent emotive number that's not as much of an apocalyptic downer as "Epitaph") and "Cat Food" (a whimsical number whose like doesn't appear on "Court"). They could have left out the divided trilogy "Peace" because these interludes exist only to support "The Devil's Triangle", a takeoff on Holst's "Mars: Bringer Of War" that Tomita did a better job on with his Moogs, and Keith Emerson did about as well with years later with his mega-Yamaha. Really, the thing should have remained a live show excercise that never should have seen the studio. Fripp proves here that, not only is he not that good a keyboardist, but the Mellotron can be a horrible lead instrument. Fripp exposes about every flaw the instrument has here. The thing works well in songs like "Poseidon" and the earlier "Epitaph", where it isn't overexposed and can enrich the arrangement. But if you use it as a main instrument, you got your timbre problems caused by undersampling in the tape drum. You got your tracking lags because the thing is mechanical, not electronic. It is a mid-20th century instrument after all. And you got over 11 minutes of what sounds more like a broad parody of "Mars" than anything else. So here's a suggestion. If you buy it, treat it like the second disc of "Court" and program your player past this mishmosh of noise and its companion pieces. As other reviewers said, this is more a companion disc than an album in its own right. As far as where to get it besides the sellers here, maybe they offer it on Crim's own site Discipline Global Mobile.

One of their weakest efforts.......2005-01-16

King Crimson is one of my favorite bands ever, but this is not one of their stronger efforts. Band leader Robert Fripp was quite prolific during the 1969-1974 period, but in this case he wasn't about to let a lack of material, or worse yet the lack of an actual band, stop him from releasing a followup to the breakthrough debut album.

Greg Lake stuck around long enough to do most of the vocals, although he was already committed to Emerson Lake & Palmer. Drummer Michael Giles had one foot out the door too, and Ian McDonald had split. Fripp signed on woodwind phenomenon Mel Collins and singer/bassist Gordon Haskell, who made a brief appearance here.

This album is often accused of being a copy of the debut, and in my view it's two best tracks, "Pictures of a City" and "In the Wake of Poseidon" certainly bear this out. They happen to be my favorite tracks on here though, and pretty much are my only reason for playing this. "Pictures" and "Poseidon" are both kind of forgotten clssics in KC's vast canon, but I can't say the same for the rest of this CD.

"Devil's Triangle" is an overlong instrumental ripped off from Holst (Fripp gave himself writing credit!) that the band had been playing live. It holds my interest for about 2 of it's 11 minutes. "Cat Food" is an OK jazzy piece with Keith Tippet on piano. "Cadence and Cascade" has some unremarkable vocals from Haskell and embarrassingly bad, misogynist lyrics. Nice acoustic from Fripp though.

The overall production is pretty bad. Some of the "Peace" segments throughout the record are mixed so low you have to crank up the volume just to hear them, then turn it back down before the next song starts. On the rest of the album the production is kind of drab and lifeless, and the reissue doesn't do much to improve it.

Not the place to start with Crimson, but progheads should eventually get it just for "Pictures of a City" and the title track.

A Decent Rehash.......2004-10-30

I like this album, but I love the debut. Problem is, this one's basically a less impressive rehash of the debut. Not sure if they did it on purpose or what, but the fact of the matter remains that this album has very little to add to the debut. First off, the "Peace" themes are lame because they don't evoke any sort of compelling mood. "Pictures of a City" is kinda cool, but sounds kind of like "21st Schizoid Man" with less direction and more uncessesary noodling. "Cadence and Cascade" is a beautiful song and one of the better ones, bearing a slight resemblance to "I Talk to the Wind". The title track is slightly abysmal, but somehow succeeds nonetheless. Sure, they made a rehash, but you have to remember that King Crimson is an amazing band! They did it with some success; they pulled it off and made it still interesting. Not AS interesting, but how do you follow-up In the Court of the Crimson King??? The best songs on here are definatly "Cat Food" and the terrifying epic "The Devil's Triangle", which sound not-a-whit like the debut! I think 3 stars is fair, because honestly I don't really listen to this one, except for "Cat Food" and "The Devils Triangle". I'm a bigger fan of the Crimson's later work, but this is still good for the die-hard fan.

Is this really a rehash of In the Court of the Crimson King?.......2004-08-28

Well, I have to say, partially. Many people say that In the Wake of Poseidon is a pale rehash of their debut. Everyone knows how King Crimson was never known for a steady lineup. Here the band was already witnessing changes. Ian McDonald was now out of the picture. Greg Lake was now just doing vocals duties on all but one of the vocal cuts (he didn't play bass here, Peter Giles, brother of Michael did). Mellotron duty was now handled by Fripp himself, and sax was handled by Mel Collins (a guy who would find himself with numerous groups like Camel, The Alan Parsons Project, Clannad, and much more). Of course after this album, Lake was to team up with Keith Emerson and Greg Lake to form one of the big-name prog rock acts, Emerson, Lake & Palmer. About the accusations of this album being a copy of their debut, well, let's examine the songs. "Pictures of a City" does bear resemblance to "21st Century Schizoid Man". Similar jazzy sound, dominated by wind instruments. "Cadence & Cascade" is the mellow, laid-back piece that draws comparisons to "I Talk to the Wind". But there's a major difference here: Gordon Haskell is the guy providing the vocals here, who obviously sounds a lot different from Lake, and seems to fit in with the song just fine. The title track is the Mellotron epic in the vein of "Epitaph". But what King Crimson done on the second half of the album really sounds little what they already done on their debut. "Cat Food", for example, is a quirky little piece with humorous lyrics, with guest Keith Tippet on piano. Nothing like that was done on their debut. Then you have "Devil's Triangle", which is a sinister Mellotron experiment partially borrowed from Gustav Holst's The Planets. The music really goes off the experimental deep-end, and somewhere you get to hear a reprise of "The Court of the Crimson King" (the song) amongst all the noise. I love how the music ends all mellow and acoustic with the third and final "Peace", with just acoustic guitar and Greg Lake's vocals. Although their debut is the stronger album, this is still an album worth getting, after you get In the Court of the Crimson King.

cheeky parody of first album.......2001-02-27

Second-most irritating Crimson album after "Earthbound". I have nothing against the vocal tracks and the 'Peace" interludes - considered in isolation, they are all great examples of mellotron/sax/Frippguitar-driven prog rock. Main changes in sound due to personnel changes: no clarinet as Ian McDonald is replaced by Mel Collins, and Greg Lake bows out halfwa through in favour of vocal tyro Gordon Haskell. BUT there is a one to one correspondence with the slightly rougher, more spontaneous-sounding tracks of the first album. The tune of "In the Wake" is virtually a counterpoint to that of 'Epitaph". The self-parody or rehashing grates. There is also a bit of a 3-way clash between the reworked original material, "the Devil's Triangle" (KC's take on "Mars" from Holst's Planet Suite), and the satirical jazz-fusion single "Cat Food", which points the direction the band sound would take for the next album (Keith Tippett piano all over the place...). Overall - integrity compromised. Max 2.5 stars. Truly beautiful cover, though.

A twin brother of In the Court of the Crimson King.......2000-09-30

The soft section of Pictures of a City has a layering, careful pacing and texture to it, where Schizoid man is a very, very fantastic jam. "Pictures" shows a lot of growth in writing and arranging. "Cadence and Cascade" may at first sound like "I Talk to the Wind," but the clean acoustic guitar and flute is acompletely different production approach then using the fuzzy, soft fender rhodes was on "wind" As for side two, Cat Food is one of two truly great pieces of fusion.

Not as good as the first one, but still great!.......2000-06-16

The fragile yet phenomenal incarnation of King Crimson of 1969 had dissolved. The main composer, Ian McDonald, left the group and Greg Lake was very anxious to join ELP. Robert Fripp, now the "leader" and only composer persuaded him and Michael Giles to record this album. In The Wake Of Poseidon consists of some pieces previously played live, with slight adaptations and unused material. Probably Fripp only composed the title track and the Peace segments all by his own. His guitar is not the main instrument here, instead is the marvelous mellotron. The heavy and jazzy "Pictures of a City" starring excellent guitars and saxes was called "A Man, A City" on the previous tour. Incredible song, kinda like the "21st Century Schizoid Man" of the album. "Cadence and Cascade" is probably the most beautiful song the group has ever recorded, with Fripp in acoustic guitar and Mel Collins does some exquisite flute work. The mellotron-laden "In The Wake Of Poseidon" it's also very good, resembles both "Epitaph" and "In The Court Of The Crimson King" at the same time. Side two (on which the resemblances to the previous album dissapears) begins with "Peace - a Theme", which is a gorgeous acoustic guitar piece that introduces the unique "Cat Food". Some would call it "dark jazz", with humorous lyrics and Keith Tippett's crazy piano. The album closes with "The Devil's Triangle", an adaptation of Gustav Holst's "Mars" (also played on the 69 tour), quite interesting and frightening, with an extremely experimental section at the end. Next there is a small "Peace - An End", which is "Peace - a Theme" with lyrics. This is a great album, if you liked the first, you should like this one, and vice-versa. Plus, this is the Gatefold Remaster version that comes with an extra booklet with newspaper clippings and photos about the album. Besides, with the new 24-bit remastering, this album has never sounded this good.

ITCOTCK's Sequel?.......2004-12-25

King Crimson's second album, 1970's _In The Wake of Poseidon_, has often been accused of being a weak, carbon-copy of King Crimson's monumental 1969 debut _In The Court Of The Crimson King_. To be honest, one can hear many similarities between these two albums: the blending of fiery, jazz-rock numbers counterbalanced by smooth, lush orchestral numbers, as well as the first half of the album exhibiting parallels to many tracks from the debut. However, on the whole, this album seems to carry a bit more diversity than the debut does.

It starts with the trippy, vocal experimentation of "Peace (A Beginning)," which is followed by the manic, fiery jazz-rock of "Pictures Of A City." This has been compared to "21st Century Schizoid Man." It features the processed vocals found on that infamous track, as well as the scorching proto-metal blasts, not to mention those screaming guitar and saxophone lines playing the melodic lines in unison. "Cadence And Cascade" is an ethereal r&b/rock tune that's been compared to "I Talk To The Wind." This features some of Robert Fripp's most melodic and tasteful guitar playing. The vocals done by Gordon Haskell are very beautiful as well.

The title track (often compared to "Epitath") is probably my personal favorite on here. An ingratiating mix of r&b, psychedelia and lush symphonic rock, combined with impassioned vocals makes this arguably the standout amongst many greats. "Peace (A Theme)" is a melodic guitar instrumental that prepares you for the manic, jazz-rock musings of "Cat Food." It is in this track, in which you will find foreshadowings of what would largely comprise their next album, 1970's _Lizard_. "The Devil's Triangle" is a darkly symphonic piece based on (if not entirely derivative of) the 'Mars: Bringer of War' movement from Holst's epic, The Planets. Listen for a section from "The Court Of The Crimson King" (title track from debut) at the very end of this song. The album closes with "Peace (An End)," which features sad vocal delivery from Greg Lake. Sad, as in this was Greg's very last vocal performance with Crimson, as he would join the mighty ELP.

This is a worthy addition to your King Crimson collection, even though the many parallelisms between this and their debut may be a bit disappointing to many.

A re-release of Crimson's first three albums, all of which are essential listening. A whirlwind of emotions, delicate and sensual alternating with dark, forboding and powerful. Stunning musicianship, superb vocals, rich and complex music make for a satisfying and cathartic blend of classic progressive rock. The jumbled order of song titles is bothersome, however; the original running order would have been preferable.
