Product Description
CD Description
With the release of IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING, an ambitious young British guitarist-composer named Robert Fripp erupted on the popular music scene with a mixture of rock, jazz and classical sources that came to be known as progressive rock--and spawned a slew of like-minded bands and musicians through the '70s.
Over the course of the last 25 years, each new edition of King Crimson has distilled Fripp's vision of modern electronic-rhythmic trance music, perhaps noneso well as the '80s edition featuring guitarist-vocalist Adrian Belew, bassist/Stick player Tony Levin, and acoustic-electronic percussionist Bill Bruford. Now with VROOM, Fripp has reconstituted Crimson as a double-trio by adding a seconddrummer in Pat Mastelotto and Stick player Trey Gunn.
VROOM is a sneak preview of the band's first week of rehearsals during May of 1994. The music is a loud, dynamic, acerbic web of dissonance, from the thrashing title tune to the gagagamelan polyrhythmic wail of "Thrak", positioning this new edition of Crimson on the very outer edges of tonality. Having said that, it's worth noting that the title tune and "SexSleep Eat Drink Dream" betray a continuing fascination withharmonic devices first popularised by the Beatles and Hendrix. Elsewhere, "Cage" and "One Time" alternately display Crimson's jagged, jittery brand of modern dysfunction and spatial romance, while "When I Say Stop, Continue" showcases the double trio's unique brand of...free rock, for want of a better term.
