| | King Crimson : Masque - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19) |
 | | For the uninitiated, here's the story again: Robert Fripp decides to break up the six-man, "double-trio" configuration of King Crimson into smaller units to improvise in a live setting around the country in various permutations of membership. |
 | | ProjeKct Three, which existed for a one-week tour of Austin Texas in 1999, included Fripp on guitar, Trey Gunn on touch guitar and talker, and Pat Mastelotto on "electronic traps & buttons," i.e., electronic percussion and loops. |
 | | Combining the space of ProjeKct One and the full-on rage of ProjeKct Four (both featuring Tony Levin, natch), Masque starts out with the skronk of "One" and then navigates through 12 more untitled but numbered tracks, through the furthest reaches of improvised rock music. |
