King Crimson - VROOOM

King Crimson: Adrian Belew (vocals, guitar); Robert Fripp (guitar); Tony Levin (bass, Chapman stick); Trey Gunn (Chapman stick); Pat Mastelotto, Bill Bruford (percussion). Recorded at Applehead, Woodstock, New York on May 4-7, 1994. VROOOM is a sneak preview of the band's first week of rehearsals during May of 1994. The music is a loud, dynamic, acerbic web of dissonance, from the thrashing title tune to the gaga gamelan polyrhythmic wail of "Thrak," positioning this new edition of Crimson on the very outer edges of tonality. Having said that, it's worth noting that the title tune and "Sex Sleep Eat Drink Dream" betray a continuing fascination with harmonic devices first popularized by the Beatles and Hendrix. Elsewhere, "Cage" and "One Time" alternately display Crimson's jagged, jittery brand of modern dysfunction and spatial romance, while "When I Say Stop, Continue" showcases the double trio's unique brand of...free rock, for want of a better term.
