2 stars A collection of the 'improv' parts of their live shows on the Thrak tour. Despite many good moments, when put together this is tedious and noodly, made worse by the fact that they rarely get into any groove (sometimes they begin one but it falters, and they shift back into noodly, no time-signature improv). The last two tracks, when taken together, though, provide a great, jolting effect (confirming Bruford's claim that KC are heavier than most metal bands). The music of the second-last track fades out on a delay into very soothing quiet and relaxing whisp for a long period, but this is suddenly completely broken by the unannounced surprise crunch of the beginning of a very heavy Thrak which then goes on to rip the eardrums. A great defining Krimson moment! Too bad so much of the rest of the CD is so tedious.
