Centipede - Septober Energy (1971)

Septober Energy is the only album of the jazz/progressive rock big band Centipede. Produced by Robert Fripp under the musical direction of Keith Tippett, it was originally released 1971 in the UK as a double LP, and 1974 in the US with a different cover. The album was recorded at Wessex Studios, London during three days in June 1971. The album is a four-part suite consisting of four tracks of about 20 minutes each. Prog Archives: "This album doesn't look very appealing because of the Robert Fripp name but let me assure you it's very good. It is far more jazz oriented (and consequently better) than any King Crimson album. This is very well thought out with over 50 members playing ... It's a progressive big band something like Alan Silva's Celestial Communications Orchestra. It's a really good sign that the album challenges you from the beginning of the opening track. There are many instances similar to this throughout the album with amazing orchestrational curves. There aren't enough stars to give it. However where the album gets all of its points is the way it constantly challenges you. It's not long enough. Play often." (Wiki, Discogs, Prog Archives).
