DEJA VROOOM

You can say a lot about Robert Fripp (I use to call hem the 'passive-agressive genius') and you can read a lot about him (I recommend the book from Sid Smith), fact is that in the early Eighties Mr. Fripp stunned the progrock world with a very innovative King Crimson sound. In my opinion King Crimson is the only progrock dinosaur that succeeded to sound progressive after the Seventies. On this excellent DVD you can enjoy unique compositions that were on the new King Crimson album "Discipline": "Frame by frame" (splendid scale- acrobatics), "Matte kudasai", "Elephant talk" (exciting guitar sound by Adrian Belew) and "Indiscipline" (what a tension featuring howling guitar and bombastic eruptions). The renditions of the classic songs "Red" and "Larks' tongues in aspic Part II captures the spirit of the originals! Not every track on this DVD is my cup of tea (too fragmentic or experimental) but this bunch of virtuosic musicians delivers so many captivating songs, based upon dynamic interplay (duo-guitars and duo-drums work), inventive play on the distinctive Stick from Tony Levin and exciting soli on guitar from Fripp (chainsaw-like sound) and Belew (a unique sound-wizard on his guitar). A MUST!!
