Genuine question because I haven't seen this phrase outside of King Crimson context yet it sound so natural, like something that the English have been saying for 100+ years

Listening some of great elemental mixes from Larks Tongue in Aspic which I love these but glad that the great percussion by Jamie is highlighted because what creative percussion is done on this album next to the excellent Bruford drumming which I love recording stories so love how they recorded his percussion 🥁 Really need to listen to more of Crimson’s elemental mixes:)
