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).<BR><BR><BR>While the repetitive Gamelan-like patterns of DISCIPLINE were still present on BEAT, things loosened up considerably. The title refers at least partially to the Beat era writers referenced in the opening "Neal and Jack and Me," and the freewheeling Beat aesthetic informs much of the music here. From the crazed "Neurotica" to the ominous "Requiem," there's a greater quotient of improvisational fireworks here. Simultaneously, there's further development of the Belew-spearheaded pop sensibilities introduced on DISCIPLINE. "Heartbeat" in particular is perhaps the finest pop tune this eternally arty band has ever produced, its simple romantic sentiments deftly and memorably expressed<BR><BR> Track Listing:<BR> Neal And Jack And Me <BR> Heartbeat <BR> Sartori In Tangier <BR> Waiting Man <BR> Neurotica <BR> Two Hands <BR> Howler, The <BR> Requiem <BR> <BR> <BR></P> <P> <LI>SKU: IECP-10042 </P> <P><B>Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Category196" TITLE="2008 KC Japanese Imports">2008 KC Japanese Imports</A>:</B> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product1039 TITLE="King Crimson - Discipline - (Japanese Import)">King Crimson - Discipline - (Japanese Import)</A> -- 2008 Japanese mini LP <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product1045 TITLE="King Crimson - In The Court Of The Crimson King (Japanese Import)">King Crimson - In The Court Of The Crimson King (Japanese Import)</A> -- 2008 Japanese mini LP <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product847 TITLE="King Crimson - Islands (Japanese Import)">King Crimson - Islands (Japanese Import)</A> -- 2008 Japanese mini LP <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product1040 TITLE="King Crimson - Larks' Tongues in Aspic (Japanese Import)">King Crimson - Larks' Tongues in Aspic (Japanese Import)</A> -- 2008 Japanese mini LP <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product1047 TITLE="King Crimson - Lizard (Japanese Import)">King Crimson - Lizard (Japanese Import)</A> -- 2008 Japanese mini LP <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product1042 TITLE="King Crimson - Red - (Japanese Import)">King Crimson - Red - (Japanese Import)</A> -- 2008 Japanese mini LP <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product1043 TITLE="King Crimson - Starless &amp; Bible Black (Japanese Import)">King Crimson - Starless & Bible Black (Japanese Import)</A> -- 2008 Japanese mini LP <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product1048 TITLE="King Crimson - The ConstruKction of Light (Japnese Import)">King Crimson - The ConstruKction of Light (Japnese Import)</A> -- 2008 Japanese mini LP <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product1044 TITLE="King Crimson - Three Of A Perfect Pair (Japanese Import) - Japanese Import">King Crimson - Three Of A Perfect Pair (Japanese Import) - Japanese Import</A> -- 2008 Japanese mini LP <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product1051 TITLE="King Crimson - VROOOM (Japanese Import)">King Crimson - VROOOM (Japanese Import)</A> -- 2008 Japanese mini LP <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product1046 TITLE="King Crimson - In The Wake Of Poseidon (Japanese Import)">King Crimson - In The Wake Of Poseidon (Japanese Import)</A> -- 2008 Japanese mini LP <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product1052 TITLE="King Crimson - THRAK (Japanese Import)">King Crimson - THRAK (Japanese Import)</A> -- 2008 Japanese mini LP <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product1050 TITLE="King Crimson - USA (Japanese Import)">King Crimson - USA (Japanese Import)</A> -- 2008 Japanese mini LP <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product1049 TITLE="King Crimson - The Power To Believe (Japanese Import)">King Crimson - The Power To Believe (Japanese Import)</A> -- 2008 Japanese mini LP <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product1053 TITLE="King Crimson - Level Five (Japanese Import)">King Crimson - Level Five (Japanese Import)</A> -- 2008 Japanese mini LP </P> <BR clear=left><BR><P><A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/dgm" TITLE="Discipline Global Mobile Products">Discipline Global Mobile Products</A></P> <BR clear=left><BR><BR><BR><BR> <BR><A HREF="http://www.dgmlive.com/shop.htm">Discipline Global Mobile</A> <BR>Discipline Global Mobile <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="ecommerce software">ecommerce software</A> powered by Nexternal
