The musicians therefore decided up-front to improvise at the end of "Moonchild" until the requisite forty minutes of tape were filled, and then stop! That said, still not a bad piece of work. I've seen many glowing reviews of the McDonald & Giles album over the years, but don't own it and have never heard it. I've just ordered it via Amazon, so expect a review in short order!

The first few minutes are excellent but the song eventually delves into formless, avante garde guitar noodling. Of the other King Crimson efforts I really enjoy In The Wake of Poseidon, Red, Starless and Bible Black and Larks' Tongues In Aspic - all excellent efforts.

Those were the days...
