What is the name of this King Crimson song, and which album is it on? (WARNING: Song is used as soundtrack for NSFW non-nude slide show of porn star.)

It's "Lark's Tongues in Aspic, Part II", from Lark's Tongues In Aspic. Here's a slightly different version.

It sounds to me more like one of those songs where they use the double trio lineup. And it sounds like a live recording, so perhaps you can find it in that live in Argentina CD they mention in that link.

Thanks for the info. The only King Crimson songs I've heard are "Red" and "Court of Crimson King." I love songs that groove in strange time signatures. I'm going to check this album out.

I recommend checking out Red (the album) as well, as it's probably the one I would rate as their best. Not that that's easy to do.

micayetoca is right; the Argentina bootleg has a version of Lark's Tongues in Aspic II. I'd bet that's the version used in the video you linked.

It does sound a bit like Part 2, but it is actually part 4, from the record The ConstruKction of Light. Here is a live version.
