Our Take

King Crimson has always been a band that defies explanation. Their latest release, "Audio Diary 2014 - 2018," continues this trend with a collection of tracks that are as enigmatic as they are captivating.

From the eerie opening notes of "ProzaKc Blues" to the frenetic energy of "Suitable Grounds for the Blues," this album takes the listener on a wild and unpredictable ride. Robert Fripp's guitar work is as mesmerizing as ever, while the rhythms provided by Pat Mastelotto and the rest of the band are as intricate as they are powerful.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Meltdown," a 12-minute epic that showcases King Crimson at their most experimental. The band weaves in and out of different musical styles with ease, creating a sonic landscape that is both thrilling and disorienting.

But perhaps the most intriguing aspect of "Audio Diary 2014 - 2018" is the inclusion of actual audio diaries from the band members themselves. These intimate recordings give the listener a glimpse into the inner workings of King Crimson, revealing the creative process behind the music in a way that is both enlightening and entertaining.

Overall, "Audio Diary 2014 - 2018" is a must-listen for any fan of progressive rock or experimental music. King Crimson continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in the genre, and this album is no exception. Dive in, and prepare to be amazed.

About the artist

King Crimson

King Crimson, the enigmatic British progressive rock band, is a veritable chameleon in the music industry. With a career spanning over five decades, the group has continuously pushed the boundaries of rock music, blending elements of jazz, classical, and avant-garde to create a sound that is uniquely their own. Led by the visionary Robert Fripp, King Crimson has seen a revolving door of talent over the years, with each iteration bringing its own distinct flavour to the band's sound. From the haunting melodies of "In the Court of the Crimson King" to the experimental sonics of "Larks' Tongues in Aspic," their discography is a testament to their commitment to innovation and evolution. But what truly sets King Crimson apart is their live performances. Renowned for their improvisational skills and fearless musical exploration, the band's shows are a sonic spectacle like no other. With intricate arrangements, complex time signatures, and mind-bending solos, King Crimson never fails to captivate audiences and leave them in a state of awe. Despite their cult following and critical acclaim, King Crimson remains a somewhat elusive figure in the music industry. With a mystique that is as captivating as their music, the band continues to defy categorisation and challenge the status quo. Love them or hate them, one thing is for certain – King Crimson will always be a force to be reckoned with in the world of progressive rock.
