Free Music Review: How do YOU think I got here?
Hit: 5 Stars
Insane wackos disconcert me when they are raging through the spirals of misunderstanding; their phasmagorical cinisisms lead me to believe they have something to gain. But, this is amazon and let the wild misuse, dissalude, and track weary old footprints in snowy screens. @%#$ on all of you and your
reviews too.
It's the weary old argument I have held with my prog-liking friend for the past years: Why do you listen to prog(progressive rock musaaaac!)? He just keeps to himself because he's an obsessive percussionist who worships those who rule his instrument, when I ask him that very question. Yet I probe and probe; where,
why, and how can you listen to what sounds like if Beethoven were to drop his notebook, and all the notes fell out of the pages, and he had tried to cover it up by mashing them all together just before deadline? He never answered my question.
Never mind my skepticism and Mr. 500th reviewer, who's too pigheaded for his own girth-he simply does not get it. Although, that is not say that people like Joe Satriani and Steve Vai ought to be allowed not to be cut in the street-at the beheast of Lord "Five-Hundreth Reviewer" and myself. I am just saying that he
is obviously a newcomer to music. Borneing upon the same Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin records all your life will only open your mind to your greatest, most greediest opinion: Insert Opinion here.
I, though, see it as international music, like Paul Simon's backing band with its unnaturally white percuss-oh, they're African! I get it now. If you put these guys from King Crimson, at this period 1981, you would find that they are the best dang acting band in Spain or Rio or France(shiver). It's simply a different mindset then we are used to, like where we are obsessed with sixties music still, other places have never felt that exact warmth, so they still like organic music, which is THIS King Crimson all the way.
This music is similar with other light-prog bands. There is another side, of course, which concerns themselves with any European prophet other than Beethoven, on which most music is based in the twentieth, and twenty-first centuries. Dream Theatre and all of its sister bands and side projects is one other side of
prog-rock created by the great grandfather: Frank Zappa, and the Greatest Grandfathers: Classical Composers from Bach all the way to Copeland. All of it is the same organic, organized, altruistic-to the Creator-like stuff that has brached off in a tree since those same mind opening sixties. And, although this type of music is akin to intelligence in music, it does not appeal to those looking for emotional strength within lyrics and voice. Why? Because they all use guitars as their main appeal, and the guitar is by all accounts a stepchild instrument that cannot communicate very easily as do violin and woodwinds which closely reflect humanity distorted by metal.
The one mercurial cache is, of course, Jimi Hendrix. He was the only one to really bring everything together, and no one has done it since. Was it mojo? Was it Voodoo Chile? Nary a knower in the world, but most would say that his soul was speaking through that guitar, and the legend lives on. Prog Rock hides from this Human element like a plague, and anyone can tell you that Music as a whole has been on a sharp declavity since 2000, in all its lugubrious drollery.
Now, as far as this King Crimson album goes, it is a taint upon the entire community of musicians prog and other, except for those wonderful, few moments where it is pretty enjoyable. However, you would be better off with In The Court Of The Crimson King, which is one of those invariable experiments gone right. You will not, however, find the face of Hendrix quite on it, but their siamese dream of reaching enlightenment in the late sixties only nearly fails. The last track actually sounds like rapture, it is awsome!
Discipline is really not a very King Crimson-like album, it sounds like they're taking a bite out of something they cannot handle-at first. This may be the absolutely greatest trait of King Crimson, that they can actually absorb themselves into their contemporaries' musical veins and treat prog rock to the great
taste, and wonder. For instance on this they take from New Wave and most noticably the Talking Head's lead singer. That is the bane of Prog rock's existence, to bend itself like plasma or jelly with outside influences and turn it into a complicated symphony that has been made anew with inspiration. Remain In Light
was a thunderous Eno & Heads event that just kind of tipped the hat of its genius into everybody's caps-and it's the direct parent to this album, obviously. Mediocre, you might say, when comparing the two, but it matters not. For it has thus from then on transpired to work on future minds of Progressive Rock with
the continuing chain. It all depends on how you think...
I would not know how this remastering sounds compared to other recordings, except for the fact that they have given center stage to the singing, and that the guitar has been placed in the backround like it were shameful to play. It sounds like air, if air had no depth and we all didn't know how to breathe. Like Megadeth remasterings.
Note: the 5ooth reviewer character refers to dumb reviewers in general, the ignorant man that runs 'round rampant.
The Talking Heads are awsome also: Fear of Music, Remain In Light, Speaking In Tongues, and Stop Making Sense.
Discipline Poster
Japanese HQCD (High-Qualitly) paper sleeve release. Includes one bonus track. WHD Entertainment. 2009.The title says it all and the title track further demonstrates the concept as the band runs through a series of incredibly intricate, ever-changing guitar patterns and time signatures. When Robert Fripp resurrected the King Crimson banner for this 1981 release, he assembled an amazingly skilled--indeed, disciplined--group of musicians. But this record is not so much about skill as it is about transforming the complex into the beautiful. By turns explosive ("Indiscipline"), driving ("Thela Hun Ginjeet"), and quietly meditative ("The Sheltering Sky"), Adrian Belew (whose vocals and lyrics reflect his tenure with the Talking Heads) injects a degree of manic humor to the proceedings. All this technical proficiency would be for nothing if these weren't such wonderfully compelling songs. --Percy Keegan
