'' (1970) is the second album by the
Progressive Rock group
King Crimson . By the time this album was released, the band had already undergone their first change in lineup, however they still maintained much of the style of their first album, ''
In The Court Of The Crimson King ''.
Also like their first album, the mood of this album often changes from serene to chaotic. The album opens with a poetic vocal piece called "Peace-A Beginning", which is reprised instrumentally in the middle of the album and vocally again at the end. The longest track on the album is a chaotic instrumental piece called "The Devil’s Triangle", basically a renamed version of '' Suite. King Crimson would have called the piece ''Mars'', as they had performed it on tour in the 1969 lineup, but were forbidden by the composer's legal estate. In 1971 a brief excerpt from "The Devil’s Triangle" was featured on the
BBC television series ''
Doctor Who ''.
