It is a sprawling, 10-minute epic primarily written by The Court Of The Crimson King (Including "The Return Of The Fire Witch" And "The Dance Of The Puppets") Bass Guitar, Lead Vocals – Greg Lake Drums, Percussion, Vocals – Michael Giles Yep, with but a concept both rocking and profound, Robert Fripp ended the 60s musical haze with blazing guitar, intricate song craft and a sonic vision that could verily taste the 21st century's alternative listening needs.
