Frances the Mute is the modern day "In the Court of the Crimson King". That's right, I said it, if you disagree, sorry you lose.

Don't recall. It was a few years ago though, if that's any help.

considering the music i like, you may be surprised to know that I (know of but) have not heard this band.
I've heard their live shows go off, and the only song i had was their cover of Sugarcubes' "Birthday".

Unfortunately, it doesnt stand up to anything King Crimson has ever released. Its like a modern day, watered down In the Court of the Crimson King

I never really linked it to King Crimson... only to Led Zeppelin on steroids and crack

I have heard the comparison to King Crimson many times and I think it is the moodiness, the mellotron, and the sax that makes people think of KC. And the fact that it is progressive rock.
that guys voice just gets on my nerves after a while
