5 stars I Love it. My first King Crimson album. Bootleg quality, obviously recorded with a cheap cassette recorder that shuts almost down after a peak in the volume. Totally freaked out version of Schizoid Man, far more better than the original studio recording (if it wasn't for the poor sound quality). The band was on the eve of a massive split. In some of the 'groove jam' tracks (Peoria, Earthbound), Fripp is forced into the role of just the accompanying funky rhythm guitarist, and he's not happy with it. When he tries to take over, introducing weird rhythmic syncopes, the groove disappears and the track is luckily faded out. The last track (Groon) is an expample of how the band was trying to fill the contractual xx minutes with freaked out drum solo's, cheap electronic toys (mind you, brand new at the time...). Oh boy. The most wild and animal like King Crimson you''ll ever hear. Those were the days...
