Full Album Playlist: ISLANDS (Fripp, Sinfield) Earth, stream and tree encircled by sea Waves sweep the sand from my island. My sunsets fade, Field and glade wait only for rain Grain after grain love erodes my High weathered walls which fend off the tide Cradle the wind to my island. Gaunt granite climbs where gulls wheel and glide Mournfully cry o'er my island. My dawn bride's veil, damp and pale, Dissolves in the sun. Love's web is spun - cats prowl, mice run Wreathe snatch-hand briars where owls know my eyes Violet skies Touch my island, touch me. Beneath the wind turned wave Infinite peace Islands join hands 'Neath heaven's sea. Dark harbour quays like fingers of stone Hungrily reach from my island. Clutch sailors' words, pearls and gourds Are strewn on my shore. Equal in love, bound in circles. Earth, stream and tree return to the sea Waves sweep the sand from my island, from me. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Robert Fripp: Guitar, Mellotron, Peter’s Pedal Harmonium and sundry implements Mel Collins: Flute, Bass Flute, Saxes & Vocals Boz: Bass Guitar, Lead Vocals & Choreography Ian Wallace: Drums, Percussion & Vocals Peter Sinfield: Words, Sounds & Visions Featured players Keith Tippett: Piano Paulina Lucas: Soprano Robin Miller: Oboe Mark Charig: Cornet Harry Miller: String Bass Engineer: Andy Hendrikson Cover Design & Painting: Peter Sinfield Equipment: Vick & Mike Recorded at Command Studios, Piccadilly, London Outer cover illustration ‘Trifid Nebula in Sagittarius’ by courtesy of The Institute of Technology and Carnegie Institution of Washington #KingCrimson #RobertFripp #Islands
