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>THREE OF A PERFECT PAIR ended the band's '80s trilogy in a logical fashion. One of the trademarks of Crimson from 1969 onward was drastic dynamic shifts and the juxtaposition of daring, experimental excursions with appealingly melodic "pop" ballads. These two strands of Crimson's sound are presented in sharp contrast here. The first half of the album consists of quirky-but-catchy Belew-dominated songs, on which the band's unconventional sensibilities work in the service of relatively traditional song structures. The second half is a largely improvisational free-for-all, with the band flexing its collective improvisational might. The spirit of LARK'S TONGUES IN ASPIC is recalled so strongly here that KC closes the album with "Lark's Tongues in Aspic Part III." <BR><BR>Track Listing:<BR>Three Of A Perfect Pair <BR>Model Man <BR>Sleepless <BR>Man With An Open Heart <BR>Nuages (That Which Passes, Passes Like Clouds) <BR>Industry <BR>Dig Me <BR>No Warning <BR>Larks' Tongues In Aspic Part III <BR><BR></P> <P> <LI>SKU: ICEP-10043 </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/Product1041 TITLE="King Crimson - Beat (Japanese Import)">King Crimson - Beat (Japanese Import)</A> -- 2008 Japanese mini LP <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/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
