5 stars This 4 cd - Box Set is really something so much more than beatiful. The incredible techical skills of the four sub- crim formations is terrific, the simply way to describe these cds in which the KC music re- invent itself again and again and again, is Masterpiece. At the first time you listen to it, then you might feel a little maybe upset, because it's not not easy to deal with this kind of music, totally improvised, but once you get into it, it will become like a sort of drug (of course in a good way :-) ). I bought the box set one week ago and I've listened to the whole of it several times, and the more I listen to it, the more I like it, the fact is no matter how I break it down, it remains consistant (to say it with KC own words....)

ProjeKct One - Live At The Jazz Cafè : this is my favourite along with Three and Four; this one is an album with various moods, the music flows from jazzy improvv trough some Fripp soundscapes, with great moments of harmony between the P1 line up (Fripp Brufford Levin Gunn).

ProjeKct Two - Live Groove : In my opinion this is the "worst" of them all, though it has some very enjoyable moments like "Deception Of The Thrush", which is presented in a slightly different way, anyway the improvvisations are not good as in the other three discs, (interesting listening to Adrian Belew work on drums, not bad at all!)

ProjeKct Three: probably the best one, simply fantastic list of quite aggressive improvvisasions troughout the whole cd, simply incredible believing that there are only three persons to play : Fripp, Gunn, and the best choice in matter of drums for a work like this: Mastellotto.

ProjeKct Four : Almost on the same line as P1, this disc alternates aggressive, almost metal music sections, with the much more quiet "Ghost P.1" and "Ghost P.2", excellent tracks also "Hindu Fizz", and of course the well known "Deception Of The Thrush"

A 5 stars rating all the way, to a must that every Prog lover should own.
