4 stars KC’s 90s incarnation was brought by almost the same line-up they had in 80s, hence music was play in that vein as well. More modern, with MIDI guitar tech used, with some techno/rave/industrial patterns thrown in it, but the same way MATH Crimso we had in 80s. From all official studio efforts (“Thrak”, “The ConstruKction of Light”, “The Power to Believe”) the last one seems to be the most elaborated and well-balanced. Again made in the same manner as previous releases (THRAK-like structure with eponymous track serving as transition weapon, groovy instrumentals in TCOL vein), but better constructed, with more power thrown into it, with better songs after all! Can’t keep from mentioning “Dangerous Curves”, one of my favouritest KC instrumentals ever! I can recall the day I was buying it; hot 2003’s August, and a guy in glasses twice elder than me asking me if I know their early stuff…yes, I do!!! Hope we’ll receive some more new stuff from KC in future, and till that moment TPTB remains their most successful recent effort. Recommended!
