Adapting to the post-punk experimentalism of the early 1980s with genuine intelligence and enthusiasm, Discipline remains one of King Crimson's definitive statements.

Although containing elements of the avant-funk of Talking Heads, the ethnic grooves of Peter Gabriel and the constantly shifting Minimalist rhythms of Steve Reich, this frequently thrilling and complex gem of Progressive music ultimately bears the unique imprint of the four highly individual and talented musicians at the heart of its creation.

A clean and uncluttered production allows the band's power and articulate spikiness to shine through unfettered, while Fripp and Belew's guitar playing is undeniably dazzling, yet never remotely exhibitionist.

The gloriously unexpected lyricism of The Sheltering Sky provides a hypnotic and impressive contrast to the rest of the album's inspired austerity.

A new sound then and still an influential one.
