The Profile

English violinist and solo artist, best known for his role in King Crimson's second lineup and for solo work such as the album Closer Than Skin.

Associated with King Crimson's second lineup and the progressive rock sound (references in reviews to Larks' Tongues in Aspic, Red, Starless). Closer Than Skin is described in reviews as progressive, dark, melodic, and reminiscent of King Crimson works such as Red and The Power to Believe.

The reviewer highlights strong ties to King Crimson's sound (notably Red) while praising the album's originality and emotional inspiration. The record is described as progressive with a dark, melodic atmosphere and accessible song lengths. Recommended for King Crimson and prog fans.

Notable Quotes

❝ The album consists of 10 tracks. It's a remarkable progressive record that is absolutely close to the sounds of "Red," like the Fripp-like guitar in awfullove ("Red" which I consider, like Kurt Cobain, the best album in rock history) yet manages, despite this resemblance, to have its own originality and life.
