The 21st Century Guide To King Crimson, Vol. 2: 1981-2003
About This Album
It appears that just when you thought the folks at Discipline Global Mobile had re-released every single King Crimson track in as many configurations as possible, they surprise you with another compilation: 2005's The 21st Century Guide to King Crimson, Vol. 2: 1981-2003. Following in the footsteps of 2004's The 21st Century Guide to King Crimson, Vol. 1: 1969-1974, the second volume combines the best tracks from Crimson's studio albums from the advertised period, as well as mixing in live takes and rarities. When Crimson reconvened in 1980 after an extended hiatus, no one could have predicted that the group would have more in common sonically with Talking Heads and the Police than Yes and Genesis. But with newcomers Adrian Belew (vocals/guitar) and Tony Levin (bass/stick) joining previous Crimson members Robert Fripp (guitar) and Bill Bruford (drums), the "new look" Crimson managed to be quite musically daring without the bloat of '70s-era prog, and in a few instances, managed to be (gasp!) accessible. This point is proven on disc one of Vol. 2: 1981-2003, as highlights are plucked from the group's trio of studio albums from the early '80s: 1981's Discipline, 1982's Beat, and 1984's Three of a Perfect Pair.
