DrewFountain - See all DrewFountain's reviews Pushing the art/jazz fusion to the limit - Fripp teams with Levin to push the musical envelope even farther. The effort was commercially inacessible and takes some listening effort to appreciate (As for most King Crimson albums), but repeated listenings reveal the intracate polyphonic textures and twisted imaginations. The Keynote of the record is the "ThelaHunnGinGeet" - a strange story/song, with ripping guitar work and a throbbing rythym.
This is not a good choice for pop ears - as Levin's work with Gabriel might be pop friendly. This is pure studio jazz - built on rock musicianship. The result is powerful. ...

Pro Reviews: Discipline (Remastered)
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews When King Crimson leader Robert Fripp decided to assemble a new version of the band in the early '80s, progrock fans rejoiced, and most new wave fans frowned. But after hearing this new unit's first release, 1981's Discipline, all the elements that made other arty new wave rockers successful (i.e., Talking Heads, Pere Ubu, the Police, etc.) were evident. Combining the futuristic guitar of Adrian Belew with the textured guitar of Fripp doesn't sound like it would work on paper, but the pairing of these two originals worked out magically. Rounding out the quartet was bass wizard Tony Levin and exYes drummer Bill Bruford. Belew's vocals fit the music perfectly, sounding like David Byrne at his most paranoid at times (the funk track "Thela Hun Ginjeet"). Some other highlights include Tony Levin's "stick" (a strange basslike instrument)driven opener "Elephant Talk," the atmospheric "The Sheltering Sky" and the heavy rocker "Indiscipline." Many Crimson fans consider this album one of their best, right up there with In the Court of the Crimson King. It's easy to understand why after you hear the inspired performances by this hungry new version of the band. Greg Prato, All Music Guide |
