king crimson - discipline

.:: Discipline showcases the revitalized King Crimson line-up of Robert Fripp, Andian Belew, Tony Levin and ex-Yes drummer Bill Bruford. The combination of Belew's futuristic guitar playing the textured guitar approach of Fripp works magically to create what many consider to be the band's best album since In The Court Of The Crimson King.

After spending the second half of the '70s on various solo projects, the irrepressible Robert Fripp decided to reinvent King Crimson. Instead of building on the group's '70s legacy, Fripp burned his bridges and started from scratch, even though KC drummer Bill Bruford returned to the fold for the '80s version of the band.

The new Crimson was influenced equally by funk, world music, Balinese Gamelan orchestras, minimalism and the new pan-cultural sounds being made by the likes of Talking Heads and Peter Gabriel (in retrospect, the former's Remain In Light, which featured future Crimson guitarist/vocalist Adrian Belew, seems an undeniable influence).
