About Pete Sinfield
Peter Sinfield was best known as the lyricist and a founding member of the original King Crimson and its immediate offshoots, up through the version of the band that recorded Islands in late 1971. He later took on a similar role as lyricist for Emerson, Lake & Palmer and for the Italian progressive rock band PFM, at just about the same time that he recorded his one and only solo album, Still. As a lyricist, he had an approach to words as distinctive as any in rock, filled with surreal (and sometimes fiercely sexual) imagery, and a special facility with water images and ideas involving the sea. If he isn't as well-known as Keith Reid of Procol Harum, it is only because King Crimson appealed to more eclectic tastes, and Emerson, Lake & Palmer's fans never cared as much about words as the band did.
