5.0 out of 5 stars
gah!,
By simon.slator@zoom.co.uk (Birmingham) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Construkction of Light (Audio CD)
You'll have to excuse me as I'm still in a state of disbelief after hearing this album!If this CD hasn't blasted your eardrums already, you're really missing out. Crimson still are on the cutting edge of rock music 31 years after their mindblowing debut. I thought THRAK was heavy, but this album knocks THRAK out in terms of heaviness - yet the demands on Gunn and Mastelotto are delivered in style - a truely perfect rhythm section. Fripp's guitar work is still at its peak and TCOL probably represents the best guitar partnership between Fripp and Belew. This paragraph will most likely be ignored as you'll have just scrolled up to where the "Add to Shopping Basket" button is. If so, you won't regret it.

netting the monster,
By "undeletablearchive" (Hove, East Sussex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Construkction of Light (Audio CD)
The second record from King Crimson Ver 4.0 (4.1, I guess, with the departure of Levin/Bruford) is harder, heavier and just plain better than Thrak, making no commercial concession at all. And a good thing too. More than any other KC record except Red and Discipline, this one is dominated practically front-to-back by guitar: specifically, guitar arpeggios. Climbing arpeggios, descending arpeggios. Distempered, single-minded, unpretty arpeggios with weird geometries and disorienting time signatures. Wow, you think, Fripp's on form here. However, apart from brilliantly and idiosyncratically defining a uniquely Crimsonian musical architecture, these rapid, flashing nets of notes seem to act like constraints to stop too much chaos, too much anger bursting out. Robert Fripp has always seemed to be a man with something on his mind which he prefers not to unleash, perhaps because it's too primal, too dangerous. Nevertheless, KC are always implying it and promising it, which, throughout their history, makes for fascinating but frustrating listening. While 'ConstruKction of Light' is powerful, heavy, elegant, streamlined and beautiful, you are always waiting for Robert to JUST LET RIP. Funnily enough, it's Belew who really lets it out here with impassioned and moving singing about depression/state of the world. It's his best vocal and lyrical performance by some distance. Behind him is the monster Fripp, frequently stirring but not yet ready to destroy the world. This man has the potential to make Voodoo Chile, Anarchy in the UK, and every other 'raw energy' piece sound like S-Club 7 if he so chooses; and that's what I'm still waiting for.

blown away completely,
By forimul@yahoo.com (Belgium) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Construkction of Light (Audio CD)
Robert Fripp did an web interview two months ago, and he scared me ; he said there would be a blues song on the new album. Well, I think blues is really boring and I've always appreciated Fripp for inventing guitar and band compositions outside of the blues. I should have known, I of little faith : ProzaKc Blues is amazing and very funny. Amazement grows with the title track, which is already a KC classic. I could go on writing superlatives here, or analyzing it, but basically : this album ROCKS. In rock, not much new stuff is happening, put this record is a innovation, in KC and generaly musical terms. And check out ProjeKct X too.
