About this album

Earthbound is a ferocious snapshot of King Crimson onstage, turning the band’s early-1970s jazz-rock and prog ambition into something leaner, rougher and more volatile. Issued in 1972, the album documents a turbulent line-up in live performance, with extended improvisation and hard-edged versions of pieces associated with the era, including "21st Century Schizoid Man" and "The Sailor’s Tale". Its deliberately unvarnished sound and loose, confrontational energy made it a striking counterpoint to the group’s more polished studio work, and one of the most distinctive live albums in the Crimson catalogue.
