Details: Following the THRAK era double-trio incarnation of King Crimson the band fragmented into a variety of experimental outfits known as "Projekcts", a form of 'research and development' vehicle for the next stage in King Crimson's studio recorded output. When the band did reconvene to record, the line-up had settled to that of a quartet for the first time since 1984. The resulting album is one of the most sustained sonic attacks in Crimson's lengthy history. Mastelotto's powerful drumming and sample triggering combine with Gunn's bass flourishes to provide a dense sound world which Fripp & Belew could weave into, out of & around. The band's knack for reinventing itself was safely carried into a new decade. Unavailable since the end of 2003 the album makes for a welcome addition to the DGM catalogue.
