	TrouserPress.com :: King Crimson
		An ode to the beat generation, the album elucidates Crimson's past and purpose, melding Frippertronic tape techniques in equal partnership with Belew's manic physicality.
		Beat achieves Fripp's long-sought union of mind, soul and body, centering around the anniversary of Jack Kerouac's On the Road.
		For some back-catalogue history, Frame by Frame is a lavish and thorough boxed retrospective (dwarfing 1987's skimpy Compact King Crimson): three chronologically grouped discs of studio material and a fourth of live tracks.

		King Crimson had also achieved a rare feat for a rock group – becoming one of the very few acts to release a classic album in three separate decades.
		Crimson were always a band for a hot date." These two concerts offer different and contrasting snapshots of the 80's Crimson: Live in Fejus, heavily featuring material from the album Beat, and filmed on tour in Europe with Roxy Music; and Three of a Perfect Pair showcasing the band's triumphant 1984 Japanese performances.
		Crimson was, as ever, seeking to expand athe vocabulary of rock music and Lizard was, in some ways, the band's most ambitious album to date.

	Jack Kerouac - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		King Crimson paid tribute to Jack Kerouac and his works with their album "Beat", which contained songs "Neal and Jack and me" and "Satori in Tangier".
		The novel is often described as the defining work of the post-war jazz-, poetry-, and drug-affected Beat Generation.
		It was in New York that Kerouac met the people whom he was to journey around the world with, and return to write about: the so-called Beat Generation, which included people like Allen Ginsberg,

	Amazon.com: Beat: Music: King Crimson
		"Beat" is definitely the more accessible of King Crimson's three albums of the '80's, but this is not a bad thing.
		Such is the problem with King Crimson's "Beat," their follow-up to 1981's masterful, groundbreaking "Discipline." As with "In the Wake of Poseidon" (1970), their encore to 1969's "In the Court of the Crimson King" (which officially launched the progressive rock movement), "Beat" represents an erratic effort to continue King Crimson's tradition of relentless trailblazing.
		On the tracks which don't sound like Talking Heads, the band degenerate into a free form jazz sound, which is appropriate, given the title of the album, an ode to the Beat generation.

	CD Baby: SYNERGY QUARTET: Bar Codes
		Synergy is a four-piece band supported on this release by a bunch of enormously talented and experienced special guests, including Trey Gunn (King Crimson) and Jeff Coffin (Bela Fleck).
		Being able to put together an album in a certain comfortable time, and with willing musicians, is clearly reflected in the relaxed, almost tightly loping, beat of Barcodes.
		OK, I hadn't noticed the line that said the album was recorded entirely in San Antonio.

	KING CRIMSON: Discipline / Beat / Three of a Perfect Pair (Virgin / Caroline)
		To sum things up, Discipline is essential King Crimson and should be a part of any serious music collection (even if you already have the previous version).
		"Heartbeat" is the most accessible song on the album, and it quickly became a concert favorite for many fans.
		Discipline was the first new studio album from the band since 1974's Red.

		An ode to the beat generation, the album elucidates Crimson's past and purpose, melding Frippertronic tape techniques in equal partnership with Belew's manic physicality.
		Apparently the Frippressive "discipline" that forged the critically acclaimed pop/art synthesis of the first two latter-day Crimson albums is not a permanent condition.
		Gunn, who has also made solo albums, was evidently a favorite pupil at Fripp's guitar school in West Virginia; he appears on Show of Hands, the second of Fripp's student-played albums.

	The Official Website of The Heisenburg Principle
		Reviewers had opposite opinions, stating the album was "retro" and it "sounded too much like an old King Crimson album." Others said, "does this album have a consistent beat?" Frustrated, Bryan took a back seat as Wiggins and Smith pressed on and created another mythological album, Hercules, which was released in 1977.
		Medusa's first album Clash of the Titans debuted in 1976.
		For their next album, Heisenburg was pushing for more creative topics to write about, but Doves Descending Records insisted "What is so wrong with singing about Jesus?" Heisenburg had been listening to a lot of Kraftwerk, Styx, and Timbuk3 and wanted to release a new-wave album with lyrics about technology.

	King Crimson: Lizard - An Analysis by Andrew Keeling
		'Lizard' is a concept album with a difference from those of the period, where the idea of social chaos is wrapped-up in suitably fitting metaphors such as the circus, the family, The Beatles and the Lizard.
		It is as though the conflicts of 'Lizard' are subsequently laid to rest in favour of the more Eros-laden music of 'Islands', and what was begun as far back as 'In the Court of the Crimson King' is, by now, treated in a very different way through 'feeling'.
		The mellotron pitches are also sustained over the bars by one beat, which is connected to the phrase structure which, in turn, has been stretched from four to six bars.

	Elephant Talk: Beat
		"Almost nothing I could say about King Crimson's music would be less than worshipful, that is for the exception of BEAT.
		'Beat' is resolutely sociable, the most bright and upbeat of all the Crimson albums.
		I remember thinking, "I forgot to tell her, don't, for God's sake, buy BEAT." Beat would be a terrible album if it had been recorded by Mott.

	Beat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Beat is an album by the 1980s incarnation of progressive rock group King Crimson.
		Beat is also then the meter, rhythm, riddim, or groove of a piece and may indicate solely the bass and snare drum rhythm parts.
		In physics and sound, a beat is the oscillation between zero intensity and full intensity that occurs when two frequencies (which are not harmonically related) are added together, caused by alternating constructive and destructive interference of the pressure waves.

	New Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock V
		Nevertheless, all the songs are largely instrumental, and here I must note that during the years, separating Good Night to the Bucket from their debut album, the band had time to fall in love with King Crimson and UK and such their songs as "Starless", "Indiscipline", "Industry", "Danger Money" and "Caesar's Palace Blues" in particular.
		This is certainly true on the four-part "Antiwar Requiem", which spans the album's first side: "Dies irae" greets the listener with a brusque drummachine beat in military mode and wave upon shrill, dissonant saw wave from the upper register of Varga's Roland Jupiter 8, sort of like a grim call-to-arms fanfare heralding a total war.
		On the second and third sides of Collegium Musicum 's final album, Divergencie, keyboardist Marián Varga was already moving from rock pieces, however extended or convoluted, to composing purely classical music.

		On "Gathering Wave" they sound like a lighter version of Gerard with bombastic keyboards and a steady double-bass drum beat, while "Sleepless Night" is an accomplished ballad with an interesting synth arrangement, but unfortunately too short to be developed properly.
		Actually, album was totally overlooked, as also old thrashfans of the band didn’t like it and turned their backs to the band.

	CD Review: Bill Rieflin Birth of a Giant
		Along for the ride is an impressive array of collaborators: Robert Fripp (King Crimson) and fellow labelmate Trey Gunn play guitars on most of the album, Chris Connelly (the Bells) does backing vocals on "Open Mouth", "Ballad of.." and "Hanging Gardens" and the Alexandria Quartet contribute string arrangements to the intro and "Hanging Gardens".
		Bill Rieflin is probably best known as the beat-keeper for a number of bands over the years: Ministry, the Revolting Cocks, 1000 Homo DJs, Lead Into Gold, Pigface, Chris Connelly, KMFDM, NIN, Peter Murphy, Ruby, Sweet 75, etc. But, he is also a true multi-instrumentalist with training in piano and guitar as well as drums/programming.
		With this, his first solo album, Rieflin gets to flex all of his musical and production skills.

	1971 at progressiverock.com
		The lineup recorded three albums in 1971: the Dashiell Hedayat Obsolete for the Shandar label was very, very loose recording, but the soundtrack for the Jerome Laperrousaz film Continental Circus was the real gem, detailed by the motor-like beat of "Blues for Findlay".
		In April of 1971 King Crimson returned to live performance with a line-up comprising of Fripp, Collins, Sinfield on VCS3, and newcomers Ian Wallace on drums and Boz Burrell on vocals.
		This album, however, was recorded in March of 1971 at the Newcastle City Hall.

	Amazon.de: Musik: Three of a Perfect Pair
		Nach 7 Jahren schöpferischer Pause veröffentlichte Robert Fripp (King Crimson) im Jahre 1981 das Album Discipline, welches sich gegenüber den Vorgängern zumindest nach eingen "Anhöhrversuchen" durch einen wohltuenden Stilwechsel auszeichnet.
		Diese Neuerungen bezüglich Sound und Stimmungsbilder werden bereits im Jahre 1982 auf "Beat" fortgesetzt und finden ihren Höhepunkt im finalen 80er-Album "Three of a perfect pair" (1984).
		Schon die Gestaltung der CD-Covers lässt die Vermutung zu: Es handelt sich im wesentlichen um eine musikalische Trilogie, bei welcher sich sowohl "Three of a perfect pair" als auch "Discipline" als wahre Highlights präsentieren.

		They breathe new spectral light into King Crimson's "Thela Hun Ginjeet" and Pink Floyd's "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" while striking such a heady funk groove in "Girls for Single Men" and "Riddles Are Abound Tonight," that you'd swear Bootsy Collins was on board.
		Riddles are Abound Tonight- An awesome bass line, and a dark song with an amazing beat and sax solo.
		It's not quite as intricate as some of the stuff that was outputted by Primus, but then this is a jam album and not a bass album.

		The superlative, mathematical approach of this KING CRIMSON attracted a whole new audience of younger listeners who viewed the band as champions of instrumental envelope pushing.
		Each album contain brilliant and highly sophisticated prog music with amazing musicianship.
		And over time, individual songs begin to take on their own personalities; remember, at first a lot of "Discipline" sounded the same, right?

	Tower Records - Neal & Jack & Me:Live 1982-84
		With an ever-evolving sound that has developed over the four decades that King Crimson has been making music, the prog-rock pioneers moved into a more accessible, pop-driven sound with their album THREE OF A PERFECT PAIR (1984), while still retaining Robert Fripps's stunning guitar work and dynamic stylings.
		It also featured more open spaces and texture over the previously tight fretwork to be found on "Discipline" and "Beat." This release includes concert footage from the previously released THREE OF A PERFECT PAIR, as well as "The Noise;" a video of a live performance filmed in France during the group's "Discipline" tour.

		King Crimson alumnus Mel Collins blows the sax, and Fairport Convention's Martin Allcock and Ric Sanders turn up on a couple of tracks, but the dominant sound is Barre's guitars, soaring, crunching, grinding, or noodling gently,...
		The folk-like title track is practically a lost Tull number, with a great beat and Barre singing like Anderson while playing a sweet mix of acoustic and electric guitars and mandolin.
		But most of the rest here is blues, R&B, and hard rock-- Maggie Reeday provides the soulful lead vocals on "A Blues For All Reasons," sharing the spotlight with Barre's stinging solos and acoustic blues noodlings, and Andy Giddings' pumping Hammond organ...Any fan looking for something between Tull tours may enjoy it.

		I made my sole appearance with Faust on Rien, the comeback' album which Jim O Rourke produced in 1994.
		When my performance ends on the record, Jean-Herve Peron (Faust s bass player who in this case was the one operating the tape recorder) says You can t beat the silence (perhaps this was a comment on my playing).
