Released on CD as part of King Crimson’s 40th anniversary series, the Steven Wilson and Robert Fripp remixes of the 1980s trilogy of albums Discipline, Beat and Three Of A Perfect Pair have long been over-due on vinyl. Seven years after King Crimson had ‘ceased to exist’, King Crimson’s reinvention as a new quartet consisting of Robert Fripp, Bill Bruford, Adrian Belew and Tony Levin brought about a surprising new era, which delighted fans old and new. Stylistically very different from the King Crimson of the 1970s, this new line-up incorporated rock with electronica, funk, pure pop, modern avant-garde, and a complex variety of musical textures and influences. Discipline (1981) charted on release in many countries – including the UK and USA – and songs written for the album such as ‘Matte Kudasai’ have become established favourites in the band’s repertoire. The album remains one of the key albums of the early 1980s and one of King Crimson’s most popular and best-selling.
