THRaKaTTaK was released upon an unsuspecting public on May 27th 1996.
Not for the faint-hearted, The Wire said it was "As powerful a collision between improv and avant rock as you’re likely to hear, ThraKattaK is King Crimson’s finest hour." Meanwhile over at Q magazine the album was described as "ambient music for giants. Some passages are barely audible, others threaten to separate heads from shoulders..." Rolling Stone offered this verdict: A visceral treat, a document of amazing technical might and telepathic precision. Crimson don't just fuckaround; they fuck you up with sustained invention."
