THE CONSTRUKCTION OF LIGHT

Some great tracks. Larks Tongues 4 is actually (despite the name) very good though not totally new, and track 3 is equally good. However, despite some good pieces, there are problems. First, the sound quality on the drums (particularly the cymbals) is very poor (because they are electronic?). Second, Fraktured is terrible! It is such a rip-off of early Fripp compositions (without any of the energy too) that it leaves a bad taste in your mouth. The Project X stuff is boring (as it is during the concerts when Belew is forced to leave the stage). This sounds almost like a Crimson tribute band in places, particularly without Bruford's distinctive drumming.
