Our Take

Ah, King Crimson. The pioneers of prog rock, the maestros of experimental soundscapes, the masterminds of musical madness. And here they are, back again with a 40th anniversary edition of their classic album Thrak.

From the opening track "VROOOM," you know you are in for a wild ride. The intricate guitar riffs, the haunting lyrics, the mind-bending time signatures - it's all here, and it's all gloriously bizarre.

One of the standout tracks on this album has to be "Dinosaur." With its funky bass line and cryptic lyrics, it's a real toe-tapper that will have you scratching your head in confusion and nodding your head in approval at the same time.

But it's not all madness and mayhem on Thrak. Tracks like "Walking on Air" and "One Time" show a more melodic side to King Crimson, with beautiful harmonies and soulful vocals that will leave you feeling oddly uplifted.

Overall, this 40th anniversary edition of Thrak is a must-have for any self-respecting prog rock fan. It's a journey through the twisted minds of musical geniuses, a trip through the looking glass of sound and fury. So sit back, relax, and let King Crimson take you on a ride you won't soon forget.

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.
