Larks Tongues In Aspic unveiled a brand new King Crimson line-up that featured Bill Bruford on drums, the late John Wetton on bass, percussionist and drummer Jamie Muir and violin player David Cross alongside mainstay Fripp, who was moved to declare, “This band is more King Crimson than it's ever been. All the original ideals and aspirations are there - love respect and compatible ideas. It’s a magic band!”
It was the only King Crimson album to feature Jamie Muir, and a year after the album's release – following two further albums, Starless And Bible Black and Red (both released in 1974) – Fripp disbanded the band.
