The this new release is part of the group’s ongoing 40th Anniversary Series, which began in 2009 with the release of new stereo and surround sound mixes of the progressive rock progenitor’s…

The only progressive rock band from the ’60s to be making new, vital, progressive music in the ’90s, King Crimson returned from a ten-year exile in 1995 with THRAK, their first album since 1984’s 3 of a Perfect Pair. As with the ’80s band, guitarist/ringleader Robert Fripp recruited singer/guitarist Adrian Belew, bassist Tony Levin, and drummer Bill Bruford for this incarnation of his classic band. However, he added to this familiar quartet two new members: Chapman Stick player Trey Gunn and ex-Mr. Mister drummer Pat Mastelotto. Effectively, Fripp created a “double trio,” and the six musicians combine their instruments in extremely unique ways. The mix is very dense, overpoweringly so at times, but careful listens will reveal that each musician has his own place in each song; the denseness of the sound is by design, not the accidental result of too many cooks in the kitchen. Sometimes, as in “THRAK,” the two trios are set against each other, in some sort of musical faux combat. In others, they just combine their respective sounds to massive effect. On “Dinosaur,” perhaps the strongest track on the record, Mastelotto and Bruford set up an ominous tom-tom groove that supports an even more ominous guitar figure. The vocal, the musings of a long-dead sauropod, are vintage Belew, just as the freaky, falling-down-the-stairs solo in the middle is vintage Fripp. Other high points include the drum duet “B’Boom” and the two Belew/Fripp “Inner Garden” pieces. Allusions to earlier Crimson abounds, such as the form of “VROOM,” for example, which is suspiciously reminiscent of “Red” (from the 1974 album of the same name), or the shout-out to “The Sheltering Sky” (from 1981’s Discipline) in “Walking on Air.” Thankfully, this never gets annoying, but instead acts as a subtle nudge and a wink to faithful fans. King Crimson came back in a major way with THRAK, and proved that, even in its fourth major incarnation, Fripp and company still had something to say. High-quality prog. (more…)

The 1994 return of King Crimson was timed perfectly, matching, in no particular order, one of the peak periods for CD sales, a time of great variety of radio formats in the USA, the growth of a number of bands who pointed eagerly to the influence of King Crimson – especially of the 1972-74 band – a more positive critical reception for the band, following the remasters of the catalogue, Frame by Frame and Great Deceiver boxed sets supervised by Robert Fripp. Such timing not only benefited from the release of the various musicians from their other musical commitments, but in Robert Fripp’s case, the ultimately successful battle to regain control of King Crimson’s catalogue.
Recorded at Peter Gabriel’s RealWorld studios THRAK was released in 1995 and followed by tours in Europe, Japan and the USA. In the USA Crimson joined the Horde tour for 1995 – among a floating line-up that included Lenny Kravitz, The Black Crowes and Ziggy Marley. Thrak and its accompanying tours managed the task of appealing to older Crimson fans, while allowing the band to develop a whole new audience – perhaps unsurprisingly, as many of the musical ideas initially formulated by Crimson lineups of the 70s and 80s had been absorbed, extended and re-presented in a new light by bands directly influenced by earlier Crimson albums and performances.
Had THRAK merely reiterated those ideas most fans would, without doubt, have been happy with the outcome, but a key element in the evolution of Crimson’s music and history has been the band’s unwillingness to simply go on performing and recording for the sake of it. Robert Fripp places great importance on the fact that Crimson only operates when there is music that demands a King Crimson to perform it. This ability to walk away from the group at peak points artistically and commercially (as with the 70s and 80s lineups), is one of the band’s great strengths. It allows for the periodic reinvention of the band and ensures that innovation is a driving factor whenever the group does appear.
THRAK has all the hallmarks of a classic album – an album that challenged audience expectations when released, yet still sounds exciting now. For the band’s many fans, it rates comparison with the best of King Crimson’s studio albums, no mean feat given the quality and status of the likes of In The Court of the Crimson King (1969), Red (1974) and Discipline (1981).
The newly mixed stereo of THRAK was described as “transformative” by Robert Fripp. It’s also no exaggeration to state that this band can’t be fully appreciated and understood until you hear the roar of THRAK emerging from six speakers.
Twenty years on from its original release, THRAK remains one of the most powerful studio albums of the period. (more…)
