fantastic roland guitar synth ! as long as i know, the first multi timbral (6 voices) synth linked to guitar, and it was a nightmare to play to have what Adrian and Robert are getting with it, you had to carefully play the string gently, without too much hand noise etc, my brother was having one, i tried to play, and didn't succeed (im not a guitarist anyway) to get this softness
This is simply a brilliant song, still had to check what I would sound like with some groovy drums on it. Said and done. Here it is: enjoy! 🙏🏻🤩 th-cam.com/users/shortsXtcClUfilGY?feature=share

This song takes me to more of a night setting. I’m out in the mountains, There is no light pollution, I can see the Milky Way. I’m in a warm pond floating on my back, the reflection of the stars surrounding me as I look back up at the heavens. And there’s also a sea serpent lady somewhere in there too. 🦧
To me, it feels like the burning sun causing heat haze and illusions in the open desert - beautiful, but not so friendly to human life. I can imagine Frank Herbert's Fremen listening to this in Sietch Tabr....
Never has a band so utterly reinvented itself and a musical genre' (that they spawned) single handedly, then King Crimson did with this album. If they released it today, it would still sound revolutionary and fresh. It is a brilliant work.

Went to see them at the El Mocambo in Toronto thinking we'd hear The Court of the Crimson King era music... me and the gang were jaws on the floor blown away after the first 30 seconds. Was a complete and wonderful surprise. The musicians were flawless and so "disciplined".
Mine too. This is one tune that solidified my reason for wanting to be a drummer, musician. Bill Burford. I'm a Jazz/Fusion, Progressive Rock kinda guy. Mahavishnu Orchestra, Billy Cobham; John Coltrane, Elvin Jones; Buddy Rich; Miles Davis; Tony Williams Lifetime, Allan Holdsworth; King Crimson 1969-1975, 1981-84, 1994-now.... So much great music being made today is underground. This tune takes you on your own personal journey through the cosmos of your mind. This is a Masterpiece. The last note of each phrase was so unnerving at first listen. It still is! It's the whole point. I'm so used to it now it sounds "normal" to me. It's a feeling of being at peace with the universe and being aware of the horrors that are out there and the benevolent and seeing the beauty in it all. That's my take on an instrumental. This album is still one of my all time favorite recordings. Love this line up.
@@cosmicjazzman4817: and with that said I probably have drum-covers from almost every one of those artist. So we totally share taste in music and drummers 😃

This song is based in a novel wich takes place on Africa, so Bruford used a african slit drum that you can hear from beginning to end, i don't know if was proposital but it sure makes the song
You have to be a real good one to being able to use such simple rythm during all the song, I love it.Listening to the live version is worth it, th-cam.com/video/yhsjHe_4pNk/w-d-xo.html

Picture this, You are walk in a abandoned place, the sky is in red, orange, yellow and blue with the sun being this big yellow ball in the middle. You acknowledge the beautiful sky and look at it for minutes. Speechless and amazed at what your seeing. This song reminds me of that, what a highlight on the album.
Memories of driving in my '68 Dodge Dart listening to this on a pink portable cassette player... definitely my fave but then I loved all the songs on " Discipline "....as I listen now it's like time-travel..I can feel the warm summer breeze and smell the jasmine.
Hah! For me it was a '69 Plymouth Valiant and I had some funky home made speakers in the back window. I just remembered I also had Pink Floyd spray painted on the back.
I still have my '64 Dart convertible for time-travel (I've been going anywhen in it since before forever ago) -- I'll get a pink cassette player and give this tune a try !
On a dense and soft carpet of tribal African rhythms, the twisted and piercing sound of a mystical and sensual "Turkish trumpet" develops ... Then cascades of crystalline notes occur that seem to rain from the polychrome windows of a Gothic cathedral ... and finally the "Turkish trumpet" returns, surprisingly resuming the Gothic harmonies ... King Crimson create a detailed harmonic structure that takes us directly to the surprising fusion of the most diverse Souls, each with its own identity, all stretched out to sing the Immense Power of Life and Love
👌Despite its stylistic diversity, Crimso was above all a composer of expressionist aesthetics, always close to drama, depth, anguish and the deep and tormented vision of life that seems to emanate from the metaphysics of man as of his very deep nature🔥🕊 Thanks
you go, ruggercontardi! well said. is/was brilliant. A friend got me to go to the show. we were about 8 chairs away from the stage. Crystalline sound, with a volume that rippled your hair and clothing. exquisite.
An amazing track, haunting and compelling; which, by the time it's finished, leaves you feeling more like you've undertaken a journey than listened to a song
I don't know the reason, but I relate this song to W. Golding's book 'The Lord of the Flies' so much. Whenever I hear the song I can't stop imagining the plot of the book. Mysterious
This was the first cut I heard off this album, it was on a local late night radio show on KGB. I lived in a 3 story victorian house with 9 musicians and this album was playing constantly!
Forgive the trivia: The Police album Synchronicity (1983) had a tune called Tea In The Sahara. The lyrics of that song contain the phase "Beneath the sheltering sky". I always wondered if there was some kind of connection. with this King Crimson tune. Probably not.
Very probably yes,actually. Both have been said to have been influenced by the Paul Bowles novel of the same name. It was also made into a movie in 1990 by famed Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci. Starred John Malkovich and Debra Winger. The novel is much older,late 1940's I believe.
@@wreckingKREW1 Also fun fact: Fripp and Andy Summers (the guitarist of The Police) had known themselves since the 60s and kept a working relationship, even going so far as to record two albums in the early 80s. Also, the song Mother off of Synchronicity which was written by guitarist Andy Summers sounds very Fripp-ian (to the distaste of many fans of that album apparently, who find it pretty abrasive)
King Crimson was kind of a nexus band for a long while; everybody who was anybody in 80s art rock either played with them or knew them personally. People have actually drawn maps of the intricate connections between KC and damned near every other band within their horizons, from Yes to Brian Eno to the Sisters of Mercy. Not a surprising thing to see shoutouts being traded back and forth (such as Eno's "King's Lead Hat" -- a deliberate anagram on "Talking Heads").

The Beat Tour 2024 featuring Adrian Belew, Tony Levin , Steve Vai and Dan Carrey ! The next best thing to King Crimson with two of its original members! NB Casino October 15th ! Can't wait
I saw them in 83 and just saw Adrian & Jerry Harrison on Remain in Light last night in Santa Cruz! I’m so grateful for their huge presence in my repertoire of music over the past 45 years. ❤🙏😊🥁🎼🎸
@@Gabbyness41I’ve seen Adrian Belew with David Bowie on his 1990 Sound+Vision tours but I knew of him way back when I bought the vinyl album King Crimson’s Discipline in 1981 with Robert Fripp and Bill Bruford! Tony Levin is master of the stick bass also ! I love anything King Crimson from the Court Of The Crimson King to King Crimson of today The Beat Tour ! Complex sounding music has to be created by complex smart geniuses such as Robert Fripp !!!! I said my piece ! By the way The Beat Tour concert at the NB Casino was beyond superb ! It was spectacular! Among the very best shows I’ve ever seen! The ONLY concert that I found inspired me more but not by much was Jeff Beck at the NB Casino 2011! Well done King Crimson! Have a nice day You Tubers !
@@rogerdubois6957I’ve been a fan since he started working with Bowie, then began working with Talking Heads; I then found that he had early beginnings with Frank Zappa, and went back to hearing that. The man is a legend, and a good soul to boot. ☺️🙏
Since I first heard this album way back in 1983 it blew my mind away right away ! Robert Fripp, Tony Levin , Adrian Belew, Bill Bruford ! Need I say more ! The best of the best !
I only listen to this tune at night, it's better in the winter on a snowy night like tonight or a night where I can see a lot of stars. It's so moving and beautiful, the parts Fripp does in the middle of the song sound like cold winter air, and they match the vibrance of aurora borealis to me. It makes me think of the sky as this big beautiful dark blue dome, the top of which is illuminated with pretty, dim stars. This dome sky keeps us in, it shelters us from what we can only imagine lying on the other side, out in the deep regions of the unknown. As horrifying as life can be down here, it protects us from horrors beyond our world, and it makes me wonder why the book is titled as such?
First time I heard Crimson was in a show from LA called Fridays, a comedy show with Michael Richards.They played elephant talk off this album, I was hooked. Fantastic album.
Like floating in the early ocean of Earth, staring up at the sun beams glistening in the water. turning and looking below to see the first life taking its first steps.
The soundtrack of my life since I got this album in...1984 at the age of 13?! Equally sublime as the first time I heard it, 37 years on and still going strong. When the last note is struck on the tongue drum, this will be the signal to throw the torch on my funeral pyre.
Because you're human probably a good one because you can hear the magic in all of that Talent it makes one see and feel the notes and get carried away. Well done KC
I rented this from a library in 1984. Just on a whim! What a lucky whim. None of my friends listened to this kind of music. Instrumental. Self turn one are so cool.
It's a song practically made for extending into a jam that can last for as long as the soloists' musical ideas keep flowing. I've never actually heard recordings of such, but I can easily imagine that there were some rehearsal sessions where exactly that happened on this piece. That would make perfect and brilliant sense to me as part of the creative process. I'm ready to believe that there were *hours* of that, from which the best and most inter-coherent bits were selected to assemble the final recording.
@@FrOggyArtist-123 Indeed. But that event has (fortunately) nothing to do with 'The Sheltering Sky'. That was - then - perfect love. For as long as it lasted. At least long enough to know what I want.
@@AndrewTonneman this is relieving, ive had an experience where i felt what i would consider perfect love in a dream more than once now, although its not as significant as a near death experience, im glad someone else has felt the touch of divinity that is love and its warmth and grasp and ease and care. What else could you want after experiencing that? How do people who dont have a chance to experience that cope with things? Is it fair that we’ve had an experience like this or are we and whoever else lucky to have felt such a thing? I wonder what the world would be like if everyone had felt such a feeling
@@boykidmanboykidman5420 I was, IMO, just lucky. The conviction that there is such an experience can be a guideline. But most of the time (hey Bob, you too?) I'm too distracted to meet my love - like almost everyone else. What I can do is be true to the way I experience; just maybe I'll wake someone up with that.
When Bernardo Bertolucci in 1990 made a movie out of Paul Bowles' book, he missed on this mind-blowing piece. It would have been a far better soundtrack than what was chosen. There are very beautiful landscape scenes in the movie, and the idea of a still, almost solid sky that covers and protects from high above is depicted by the camera in a poignant way. I guess Robert Fripp understood and foresaw exactly that.
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 I leave you to your sculptures, not my cup of tea. This music is clearly inspired by the book. I reckon you've never been in the Sahara, so you'd do good to have a second hard look at that movie, which was wholeheartedly endorsed by Bowles.
@@marcofaustinelli7010 I'm just saying that this is postmodern music and wouldn't fit that era. It just would clash, never mind the fact that the movie uses traditional North African instruments and music in parts of the movie as well.
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 This beautiful music was inspired by a beautiful book. Like that particular book, it trascends eras or styles. Not a coincidence. If you read that book or saw that movie and didn't manage to catch their trascending meaning, if you didn't realize in those moments that some skyes can shelter you too, then you listen to Robert Fripp and miss in this music the exact same description of stillness, eternity, peace and SAFETY that the book and the movie manage to convey.
@@marcofaustinelli7010 I read the book. It's overrated. Yes there is some poetic beauty of the Sahara and alienated (and spoiled) travelers meeting real adversity. I do think Fripp may have been inspired by the book or the imagery, but it doesn't mean it would work with the film as it was made. Maybe another version would work.
This song was way ahead of its time, still can't believe no keyboards were involved.

one of my forever favorite songs from this great band
I saw them at stonybrook University when this album first came out. They were amazing. Flawless.
God, I love this song like it was the first time I heard this gem, every time I play it.
Been a big KC fan forever, it gets ever better, whaaaarrrrr
One of my all time favourites of KC, puts me in a very good mood and relax. Thank you guys.
Frippertronics at its best
this is the song of my burial.
So cool, middle eastern feel, guitars fantastic...
These sounds travel into the ethereal
In the crazy world in which we live, it is beautiful to take a moment to stop and chill out.
No better band in the world or this solar system.
Historical masterpiece
I am just getting what interesting music i think they are great artists
I rented this from a library in 1984. Just on a whim! What a lucky whim. None of my friends listened to this kind of music. Instrumental. Self turn one are so cool.
For me the Best one of this album. Different from others . ...
Absolutely marvelous! Bravo!
Love that GR300 tone
Wild sounds in this one. Love the vibe and of course great guitar work.
I wish this was one long song filling an entire album.
It does, just listen over again
Yes, I want the first 30 seconds on an at least 5 minute loop.
It's a song practically made for extending into a jam that can last for as long as the soloists' musical ideas keep flowing.
I've never actually heard recordings of such, but I can easily imagine that there were some rehearsal sessions where exactly that happened on this piece.
That would make perfect and brilliant sense to me as part of the creative process. I'm ready to believe that there were *hours* of that, from which the best and most inter-coherent bits were selected to assemble the final recording.
@@Tindometari It's a good piece to improvise over
Absolutely fabulous! The music that goes with the time I reached heaven for the first time.
What does that mean? Did u almost die?
@@FrOggyArtist-123 Indeed. But that event has (fortunately) nothing to do with 'The Sheltering Sky'. That was - then - perfect love. For as long as it lasted. At least long enough to know what I want.
@@AndrewTonneman this is relieving, ive had an experience where i felt what i would consider perfect love in a dream more than once now, although its not as significant as a near death experience, im glad someone else has felt the touch of divinity that is love and its warmth and grasp and ease and care. What else could you want after experiencing that? How do people who dont have a chance to experience that cope with things? Is it fair that we’ve had an experience like this or are we and whoever else lucky to have felt such a thing? I wonder what the world would be like if everyone had felt such a feeling
@@boykidmanboykidman5420 I was, IMO, just lucky. The conviction that there is such an experience can be a guideline. But most of the time (hey Bob, you too?) I'm too distracted to meet my love - like almost everyone else. What I can do is be true to the way I experience; just maybe I'll wake someone up with that.
こんなすてきな曲が、あるんですね^ ^
Headphones are a human right!
Arte puro!!!!😎👍❤️❤️❤️
I've never seen Fripp live but Steve Vai NAILED it in Orlando. Such a newfound respect for him. If you are able, please see the Beat Tour 2024.
Lay down in a grassy field, look up at the forming clouds, and let your mind wander.
My favorite piece of music ever. I love everything about it.❤ It has a Bolero theme too which I Love!
Crimson, the Kings of dis-chord, and originality
Pura ipnosi. Meraviglioso
...el juego de las cuerdas con el 🎹y percusión, es armónicamente suave al tacto musical 🎶🎵💯
I remember when you could only find this song on vimeo
Robert got over it and now we have Everything

On a train rolling into Newcastle 😊
Did I hear a jazz chorus on this album. I did. I like it.
The sheltering sky is a movie about Paul Bowles and his woman in Morocco.
Love this!
Prehistoric images flood my mind whenever I hear this song. Beginning of the very first multicellular life to the age of the dinosaurs, specifically.
When Bernardo Bertolucci in 1990 made a movie out of Paul Bowles' book, he missed on this mind-blowing piece. It would have been a far better soundtrack than what was chosen. There are very beautiful landscape scenes in the movie, and the idea of a still, almost solid sky that covers and protects from high above is depicted by the camera in a poignant way. I guess Robert Fripp understood and foresaw exactly that.
That was a period piece. This wouldn't have been a good fit. Besides, this song is a sound sculpture more than a regular song.
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 I leave you to your sculptures, not my cup of tea. This music is clearly inspired by the book. I reckon you've never been in the Sahara, so you'd do good to have a second hard look at that movie, which was wholeheartedly endorsed by Bowles.
@@marcofaustinelli7010 I'm just saying that this is postmodern music and wouldn't fit that era. It just would clash, never mind the fact that the movie uses traditional North African instruments and music in parts of the movie as well.
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 This beautiful music was inspired by a beautiful book. Like that particular book, it trascends eras or styles. Not a coincidence. If you read that book or saw that movie and didn't manage to catch their trascending meaning, if you didn't realize in those moments that some skyes can shelter you too, then you listen to Robert Fripp and miss in this music the exact same description of stillness, eternity, peace and SAFETY that the book and the movie manage to convey.
@@marcofaustinelli7010 I read the book. It's overrated. Yes there is some poetic beauty of the Sahara and alienated (and spoiled) travelers meeting real adversity. I do think Fripp may have been inspired by the book or the imagery, but it doesn't mean it would work with the film as it was made. Maybe another version would work.
Wow...does this bring back memories
Fabulous!
Mel just uncorks and lets the solo flow!
Another great song that has this vibe/feel is 'Mystic Rhythms' by Rush.
Oooooo, just checked it out, I can definitely hear it, thanks for the suggestion!
Sublime.....
a treasure!!!
I just started listening to all my old King Crimson and others. It sure brings a smile .👌love it.
otherworldly.
Best ever.
Es una banda impresionante
Вся юность под нее прошла...
I watched an amazing Aurora Borealis back in 1982 in northern Vermont while listening to this.
Me when monk madness:
This song has "Sonic CD Zone Past OST" energies
Which song?
All of my favorite artists remind me on Sonic CD music lol
slight Eno vibe. I like it.
