Our Take
Our Take
When it comes to King Crimson, you never quite know what you're going to get. From their progressive rock roots to their experimental work, this band always keeps you on your toes. "Three of a Perfect Pair" is no exception.
This album, released in 1984, sees the band diving headfirst into a new wave sound, blending complex rhythms with catchy hooks. It's a risky move, but one that pays off in spades. Tracks like "Sleepless" and "Model Man" showcase the band's ability to push boundaries while still creating music that is undeniably catchy.
The production on this album is top-notch, with every instrument shining through in the mix. Adrian Belew's guitar work is especially impressive, bringing a new level of energy to the band's sound. And of course, Robert Fripp's guitar playing is as mind-bending as ever.
While some fans may have been hesitant to embrace King Crimson's new direction, "Three of a Perfect Pair" proves that the band is willing to take risks and push themselves creatively. This album may not be for everyone, but for those willing to dive in, it's a rewarding listen that showcases a band at the top of their game. In the words of King Crimson themselves, "three of a perfect pair, it's a matter of no moment."

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.
