Our Favorite Epic Tracks: Volume III | Fan Favorites - Episode 41
🕑 Added 2025-10-07 22:23:47 +0000 UTCI apologize for my tardiness in delivering this episode. I think it was worth the wait, because there's some great music in this countdown. We're hearing:
Autobahn (Kraftwerk)
Waka/Jawaka (Frank Zappa)
The Fountain of Lamneth (Rush)
Lark's Tongues in Aspic - Part IV (King Crimson)
I hope you enjoy!

Larks' IV is definitely in the musical lineage of the earlier ones. A number of musical similarities and parallels: some of the metrical games, a section where chunky chords run for several bars after which the band plays an angular, primarily ascending line; a lot of movement upward by minor thirds... There were more I noticed relistening, but these are the ones I remember this morning! (Re your comments about time signature: I think that parts of this, like the 'Discipline' era records, are in multiple times simultaneously. But I think Belew's solo (when you specifically ask) is 11/8, 3+3+3+2. There's a lot of "5" too (both signatures showing up frequently in earlier "Larks")
