One listen.

I feel I did better with this one than I did with “Sartori in Tangier”. I was able to be a bit more loose and relaxed, and I’m not sure why. As such, I think this bit of writing represents the song quite well.

King Crimson’s “No Warning” is from Three of a Perfect Pair.

I hope you enjoy.

Harsh, ominous sound. A pulse and something akin to lightning, but the pulse continues, and changes lengths and intensity. Percussion crashes in and mechanical procession leads the way. It presses down and it stresses and perhaps attempts to induce panic.

Minimal and abstract, yet utterly, so utterly clear. Unease as a brick to the face, and it’s stressed and despairing and urging, urging to move. Building, trying to make itself more obvious and continually pushing, even when pulling back. Pulling back into scattered spirals of soundless terror.

Muffled roaring as vague menace here and there and sounds continue to seemingly deconstruct, or fall apart. Something mournful among it all; something sad and searching, but unable to find what it looks for, and all has become just one cold stretch as the song ends.
