DISCIPLINE

It's only talk. This sums up King Crimson in the 1980's. Fripp decided to reconstitute the group in the era of the new wave. He had just performed with the League of Gentlemen which was successful but not completely satisfying to his artistic soul. KC is the soul of his mantle. He formed the band and shaped it for more than a decade when this record was released. It was a break with the past in this format. It was guitar music that was more subliminal and repetitive. Adrain was the essential element in this group as he had the ideas and motifs which shaped the music and led to a trilogy of albums during this era. King Crimson has never actually been disbanded, as they always tend to regroup after a hiatus. With the modern day we have the band BEAT which is a cover band and has two original members. They are now commercial as evidenced by their ticket prices.
