Style/Тип: Math Rock, New Wave, ExperimentalOriginally released: 2003 (Only through the King Crimson
Collectors' Club) from the January 17-30, 1983 recording
sessions in Champaign, Illinois.
These haphazard bits and pieces were recorded during a two-week
confab held by King Crimson in early 1983 between the Beat (1982)
and Three of a Perfect Pair (1984) albums. The quartet regrouped
in a portable recording facility at C.V. Lloyd Music Center in,
of all places, Champaign, IL, some four months after concluding
a final European leg of the Beat tour. The stated purpose was to
examine the possibilities of developing new ideas for the next
collective King Crimson project.
Almost two decades (to the day) after these sessions were aborted
due to lack of progress, DGM is offering the best of those pre-
viously unearthed tapes as the 21st installment in the King Crimson
Collectors' Club. Many of the tracks contain early motifs that
would be reconfigured and developed on later recordings. The cut
"Fragmented" develops rhythmic staccato patterns that prominently
feature Tony Levin (bass/Chapman stick) and Bill Bruford (drums)
in much the same progression as "Industry" on Three of a Perfect
Pair. Parallels can also be drawn from "Robert and Bill" to "Larks'
Tongues in Aspic, Part 3." Other pieces, such as the techno-thrash
of "San Francisco" or the tight funk developed on "Not One of Those"
are frustratingly good snippets that, simply put, lack direction
of a fully realized King Crimson performance. Then there are tracks
in between, such as "ZZZZ's," containing a well-defined groove
similar to what the quartet developed on "Sleepless." Yet, the
melody seems to hearken back to "Thela Hun Ginjeet" from Discipline
(1981) as well as to the title track for Three of a Perfect Pair.
Of these schizophrenic fragments, "Robert's Ballad" is perhaps the
most tragic loss of the lot. The absolute and stunning beauty of
Fripp's lyrical fretwork foreshadows his tone-probing "Soundscapes."
The 12-page liner notes booklet includes an essay from Robert Fripp
discussing why these sessions were not more thoroughly examined. He
also delves into the band's psyche and the perpetual inequities
inherent in the equitable division of funds versus the decidedly
imbalanced responsibilities of the band, staff, and crew.
