Wreath derives melody from King Crimson -- cool

[squeegee your third eye]

Just made this cool discovery. I'm just getting into King Crimson. First, listen to the opening/main melody of "Court of the Crimson King (Including...)". Then, go to Wreath, the first melody lead after the opening heavy part. Virtually identical.

Of course, you all probably all know this & I sound lke an ass, but indulge me please.

Yeah I hadn't noticed that but they are quite similar. Good point man!!
BTW King Crimson fucking rules!!!

I'll have to pay closer attention next time I listen to Wreath...

I've listened to some more -- The first few notes of ""Wreath"''s melody move down the scale, while K Crimson stays on one note, and then the two pairs of descending notes mirror each other exactly and form an identical central melodic hook, and then the two phrases resolve themselves with a different melody line but with a similiar feel. Neato.

Wow that is amaz9ing!

Opeth and King Crimson are my two favourite bads at the moment!
