When In The Wake of Poseidon was first issued in 1970, Melody Maker ran the unforgettableheadline: If Wagner were alive hed work with King Crimson. Stranger still, this was just twomonths after King Crimson had issued a single Cat Food & appeared on Britains Top of the Popsmiming as all bands did in those days on the TV show to a pre-recorded playback of the song.
Strangest of all was, how could a single and an album have even been recorded, when the band had split up in December 1969 following their debut US tour and release of their acclaimed In The Court of the Crimson King mere weeks before that? The answer, not for the first or last time in the bands lengthy career, was Robert Fripps determination to keep the band going whatever it took. In the case of Poseidon this involved hiring leaving KC members Michael Giles & Greg Lake and former Giles, Giles & Fripp member Peter Giles as guest musician & bringing in players who would all feature onfuture KC albums: Keith Tippett, Mel Collins and Gordon Haskell. The result was an album thatclaimed the bands highest ever UK chart position (No. 4) and consolidated its position as one of themost original and experimental groups to emerge from the Underground Scene.
In The Wake of Poseidon will be reissued on 24 October 2025 via Panegyric.
