Even as a KC fan, this sort of thing makes me *despair*. 

From David  Cross' diary:

"I have just scanned through a preview copy of Andrew  Keeling’s ‘Musical 
Guide to Larks’ Tongues in Aspic by King Crimson’. In this  book Andrew has 
applied some powerful analytical tools, deconstructing tonal  and metrical 
materials using Bartok’s Axis system of tonality, the Golden  Section and 
the Fibonacci series. He has also engaged with the ritualistic,  occult and 
mystical components implicit in the album through the lens of  Jungian 
psychology and revealed some fascinating numerical symbolism  (particularly around 
the number 5) whilst developing a finely argued view of  the music’s place 
in the spectrum of rock. Andrew recognises the developmental  importance of 
LTIA in uniting disparate musical features within a shared  language as 
opposed to the polystylism of earlier progressive rock."
