This is 100% one of the best songs of all time.
Crimson always satisfies, Fripp ran from fame and notoriety, should be revered as one of the most important composers of the century
He should be Jesus

Agreed

I had a wonderful time playing the cornet on this album. Robert and the rest of the crew there were such an awesome group to be around. Being able to feature on an album created by rock legends was an experience I will never forget.
Thank you for your service. Your work is now legend. Awesomeness, man...
Congratulations to you on your fine work on this and many other fine recordings of this magnificent time in music history.
Wow, that's great to hear. Some of the musicians collaborating with Fripp around this time actually said it was an extremely unpleasant experience, some of them were reportedly disinterested, angry or even crying...
If it was really you, you took part in one of my all time favorite instruments.
Loved your cornet solo on the title track! 💙
The power of the mellotron!
Korega waga Merroturonu no noriyku!

It puts everything else in perspective doesn't it? Truly amazing, I skipped this album for too long.
and peter's pedal harmonium as well
This album is my Favorite Crimson album, it was arguably their most experimental period and I think that's was so unique about them throughout their career constantly morphing into different musical areas and this album is the pure essence of King Crimson...I LOVE IT
Trance rock, jazz rock, metal, prog? An instrumental that transcends categories and hasn't aged a day ... bitter-sweet and good for the soul.
There’s a folk n ethnic element to the prog fusion…feels like roaming through indigenous indian desert and it’s almost sunset
The Godfathers of Math-Rock
The instrumental is within its own category, and that category is named Fripp.
Drumming is outstanding on this track!
Ian Wallace was the drummer, and an unfathomable performance.
I'd be dead after 20 seconds.....
One of my favorite tracks of all time. Mel's blistering sax and Fripp's devil's banjo. Mellotrons on stun.
Bango or slack tuning? Greatest solo I've ever heard
@@coreyzimmerman9782 Yes
The implied context of the song combined with the album artwork and the gigantic atmosphere always gave me a feeling of sailing through deep space with this song
The Islands album cover is so nice to look at. It's like looking at a glass of wine.
Fuck kind of wine are you buying lmao
@@firebrand4074 the kind with stars and nebulas in it yes, what do you have against it? (Jokes aside, i was talking about the wine like color of the cover and the stars reminded me of light being reflected on wine.)
I went through high school with King Crimson, Moody Blues, Pink Floyd, Yes, and of course the Beatles. Oh wow those were heady days! A nice doobie, and I would lay awake on school nights with my headphones on. One of the best bedtime treats you could ever ask for.
I am a 70 year old grandmother and I have been a fan of the King Crimson since they first formed. You guys are the best rockers since sliced bread! Yahoo! :)
continue with this opening of spirit. I am only 60 years old
i’m really glad to see original KC fans in these comments. amidst all the “jojo” talk, it’s a refresher to see the REAL fans. long live the best prog band in the world 🤘🏻
I'm 61.Yes. I agree.
I'm 29 :) You are awesome! Sliced bread is pretty great too :)
I'm with you there.
I can’t play this loud enough. Transcendent.
King Crimson... The Best Band In The Universe For Sure..... It's A Statement
I agree with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
correct
After King Crimson there are Pink Floyd then there is emptiness...IMO
Absolutely my favourite King Crimson album. Love the bass and vocals, Mel Collins brings the jazz, tremendous drumming and then Fripp applying scintillating genius guitar. Shout out to the great lyrics (I won't hear a word against Ladies of The Road - it's documentary!). And then you have the classical players on top. Truly a fantastic album
I can't put in to words how great this song is. In the beginning when Ian Wallace tapped the ride symbol, is simply impeccable, along with how his drums are throughout the entirety of the song. The drumming, it's simply amazing. Boz Burrell's bassline in this song is very great, I am glad he was a member of King Crimson for this album. The first beat drop is simply incredible and how it melds into a chord solo from Robert Fripp, very unique and great. Eventually it transitions something else entirely. The haunting, HAUNTING organ playing in the background gives an ethereal feel to the song. And after the song seems to end that organ still continues. It feels like something that would give me nightmares as a kid. Simply put, it's one of their best songs, for sure definitely the best off this album. King Crimson is disgustingly underrated and this is just another example of why.
4:20 insanity
Completely
Wow ! Right?
Cheerful Insanity, to be more precise

I Love jazz rock of early King Crimson .
This is the hundredth time I've listened to this topic. this is a masterpiece!!!!
I adore King Crimson! Especially his Epitaph.
From Russia with live. Michael.
yes they are very good, hug
I was fortunate to experience a King Crimson concert in 1971 at the Eastown Theater in Detroit.
Their music soared & so did I. Timeless....
Did you know that the official King Crimson website, DGM Records, are selling a CD recording of the concert in Detroit you attended back in 1971?
It's sold thru the Collector's Club feature.
@@nickgodalin6487 Thanks for the info! Music is our time-machine....
Dramatic and hypnotic...another KC masterpiece :)
I love the buildup of the mellotron at the end.
Mi álbum favorito ISLANDS!!!✌🏼🎸💗👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
One of my favourite KC tracks. Listening to this band is always a trip into another headspace. The last minute or so has a clear through-line from KC / 1971 to a band like Godspeed You! Black Emperor, 30 or so years later.
Love this song so much it's all at once epic, jazz, prog and experimental a true representation of what King Crimson was in the 70's.
Agreed, this may be one of the first true fusion songs recorded.
@@jimreeves1 nah not even close
Beyond even a soundtrack for a horror movie. This is terrifying music. Love it.
Extremely talented band. Bravo. 👏👏👏
The first time I heard this album we had just split some blotter acid 4 ways and it did not take long to feel this happy vibes. By the time we got to this song, we were flying! I remember how the ending crescendo sent us to the moon. We followed up Islands with The 12 Dreams of Dr Sardonicus and then Meddle by Pink Floyd. I don't remember anything about the rest of the trip other than having a great time. Music was more than just a 3 minute pop hit that is quickly forgotten now a days, then it was meant to really get into it, revisit whole albums and debate their place in music. Great tune from King Crimson, one of many. 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
This is one of my favourite albums to listen to on acid.
Great to be among people who love Crimson. I have since 1969.
I adore King Crimson! Especially their album In the Court of the Crimson King.
From Russia with love. Michael
Islands Gang rise up
easily the greatest King Crimson 'Mark II' song.
one of my fav songs of all times.
one of the best grooves in the discography
How have I never heard this magnificent tune?!? Amazing at every turn!
More than this,Robert,do it,please.
I bought the album because I could never find the whole thing online until now. My neighbors have listened to Islands more than I have by now
Best song from the album
Best track on the album by miles
What a fascinating instrument the mellotron was/is!
I don't think any band has used it better.
@@sdgakatbkDefinitely not in my opinion
@@Ballonpoire39 Cool. What band do you think used it better?
@@sdgakatbk Whoops! I meant definitely not like, no other band has come close to using it as well as King Crimson!
@@Ballonpoire39 👍
The live version of this song on the 'Earthbound' album is also very good.
Been jamming to this band for 50 years, hypnotic!
This track kills me every time I listen to, no matter the time... The mellotron (I guess is that) in 3:00, and how increases volume at 3:36, while that crazy chords still hit. And, of course, the climax in 4:20-4:26, one of the best music moments I've ever heard. The key note in 4:27 is simply crushing, and how comes the drums and mellotron. Simply no words. The word masterpiece doesn't do enough justice here.
Long live Robert Fripp!!!
My mum loved KC. Took her to see them at Watford Town Hall in um er 1972? Devils triangle played live! Amazing with light show too!
HA! Wish I could get my mom into King crimson!
Ian MacDonald left cause he didn’t want to play Devil’s Triangle.
I guess that they morphed Mars into Devils Triangle because of copyright issues, but as a 15year old, it blew my socks off, never mind my mind.
King crimson es mi droga
Sailor´s tale, extreme hard guitar, so extremly great solo
Islands is a flawed album, but the title track is a rare moment of blissed-out beauty from this normally tense, coiled band, and this instrumental points ominously to the improvisational aggression of the Wetton era (from 'Larks Tongues In Aspic' through to 'Red'). Brilliant!
This album gets SOOO close to perfect too. The only things that ruin it for me are Ladies Of The Road and Song Of Gulls
Really? I think it's that breadth of styles that makes this album so good - dirty funk and semi- classical thrown into the mix - it's so unlike anything that was around at the time
Its one one my favorit since i first discovered KC
HOLY CRAP. I HAVE NOT BEEN HYPNOTIZED LIKE THIS BEFORE!!!!!!!!
Kings of songs
Eu estava delirando de febre quando ouvi essa música pela primeira vez. Foi uma das experiências mais loucas da minha vida.
Imagine if you were dropping a dot.😅
The thing I love most about KC is the fact that its music defies categorization, even the commonly attached label of prog rock failes to express the pure uniqueness expressed in their music, instead of taking a pre existing musical structure and reinterpretating it in their own way, they create their own structure, the sum of their influences infused with their creative drive. Art.
Sublime
Actually it was put under a definitive genre that defines and expresses all of their sound: King Crimson.
It might be controversial but that's the truth
That is progressive rock, a label that defies itself
This is magic not just music.. these are magicians
Robert Fripp is the first Guitar player that I ever heard make his Guitar say.... "ouch, ouch ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch, ouch!" I like Robert's style. 😎
Fantastic composition. I first heard it in college, never forgotten.
Boz Bass
Masterpiece
I like this Fripp
Top shelf ❤🙌😍
This chorus has been my greatest inspiration ! Love KC
There is nothing like it !!
Wonderfool piece of rock.
thanks for injury reserve for sampling this amazing song
Music not meant to be played quietly !
Must be on full blast every time when listening to Crimson
Ladies and Gentleman...King Crimson❤️
Es increíble 🙏
Magistral! Lima - Peru
Oui le Rock progressif ça existe !
Longue vie au Roi Pourpre !
maravilloso .... lucen mas colores..;)
I adore King Crimson! This music composition ang their song Epitaph.
From Russia with love. Michael
this is SO ADDICTING AAAAAAA
El mellotron es el Maelstrom. La percusión, la guitarra banjo y el bajo parecieran ser el marinero y su barco que intentan escapar del vórtice. La historia del marinero
Very good
Oh yeah, one of my favorites!
RFripp e un xenio!!!!..punto.😎✌🖖🎵🎵🎶🎶🎶💜💜💜
Una maravilla de pieza musical
Lima Perú
Que som bom :)
Sim....Um saludo de Italia....Amo Brasil....Ate' mais
Thanks ^-^
Caraca, outro brasileiro. É raro encontrar pessoas aqui no Brasil com esse gosto musical.
simplesmente intankavel, esta banda é muito boa, feliz por ver outro br aqui
What Sheer Terror!
dawn pretty good ! I will put this in the lobby if i was a Spatial Station owner
lucky enough to have seen this tour Allen Theatre/Cleve Oh...equipment truck broke down...we stayed...Just wanna say...i believe that Fripp's solo might be one of the hardest solos to ever copy
KING CRIMSON. 💎💎💎🎼🎼🎼🕪
🎶✨🏝✨🎶
SUPER
Excellent!
The coda of Mahler's Sixth Symphony is unequalled in its sense of devastation and desolation. This (6:35) is not far behind
This sound is incredible Reunion?With BOZ and Mel?
Boz passed away in 2006.
As strange as this sounds, I wish the British band ‘Bauhaus’ would have done a cover of this song. I think would have pulled it off quite well.
omfg: MINDblowing! crafted; 'history of (western) music!' um. speechless. mind, not my first time hearing this - that wud B 19XX/something. blew my lil 13 year-old mind! never goan back!..
Hermoso
King bueno bueno bueno.
pero que temazo csm
Frenetic guitar avec mellotron.. what's not to like ?
GREAT MUSIC. NOT FOR EVERYBODY THOUGH !!!
🥁🥁🥁
2:36
that one time kc dipped into jazz fusion
The one time? Hahaha
For the chordal solo Fripp does here, how does he play with a distorted tone without it sounding like shit? Is he playing quartal harmony?

Ah boz is responsible for the choreography of course.
such a whacked out solo by mr. wilcox
