Precisions suck! Flats suck! Tort sucks!

So all the sudden your master of cyberspace and can tell what someone means or feels just by typed words?
Either get your ego in check or I should bow to your own perceived greatness.

It's a very creepy bit of art ain't it? It's found in the interior of In the Court of the Crimson King.

But hey! If you want real nighmares, give Robert Chambers short story collection from 1895 (!) titled The King in Yellow a read. There were always those who insisted this album took it's inspiration from Chambers' book.

I don't see it myself. But Chambers is still a good read if your tastes run to very unique horror themes. There's a free copy available from Project Gutenberg. Look here.



Yes indeed. Unless you were plugged into the Brit prog scene at the time, In the Court of the Crimson King and ELP's Trilogy formed most American's introduction to prog rock back in the late '60s - early '70s.

My university library has the Chambers book in both print and microformat. Thanks for the FYI.
