(1974) | Starless and Bible Black is an album released by the British progressive rock group King Crimson in 1974. Most of the vocal pieces on the album are satires on the sleaziness and materialism of society, similar to the track Easy Money on their previous album Larks' Tongues in Aspic. The most serene track is an instrumental piece for violin, bass guitar and mellotron flute titled Trio (even though there are no drums on the piece, drummer Bill Bruford received a composition co-credit because the piece was improvised live in concert and Bruford's decision not to add any percussion was seen by the rest of the band as a crucial choice). The last two tracks on the album, Starless and Bible Black and Fracture, are instrumental jazz-rock fusion pieces similar to those on Larks' Tongues in Aspic. Produced by King Crimson for E.G. Records at AIR Studios, London, January 1974. The album art is by painter Tom Phillips. The enigmatic phrase "this night wounds time", which appears on the back cover, is a quotation from Phillips's signature work, the "treated novel" A Humument (p. 222).
