HEAVY CONSTRUKCTION

I must admit that I wasn't very satisfied with this live album. I liked the good parts of their previous studio album, which introduced us the new line-up of this band. But most of the material here which they smashed out at the stage doesn't work very well in my opinion. Also I felt the price of this CD box exceeding its value for keeping up good artists / listener relationship; There is so much material even poor of quality, that the cost of this record is too high for its content. The few very good parts of this album were the aggressive "Larks' Tongues in Aspic: Part Four" and "FraKctured", which I copied for myself before selling this CD away. The material which was done by the double trio doesn't work very well when performed by the quartet, mostly I felt that the sound wall is left too thin. The digitally compressed video included on the CD looked promisingly confusing, but it too was a bit boring for me to get interested. I think this release is only for the fans of 21st century King Crimson. If it is your favorite line-up of this band, then this CD is probably a worthy to be checked out.
