"In the case of King Crimson, the music manages to bring an aural and physical intensity that expresses universal law through a mutable music form."

A review in two parts by Lee Van Laer: Part I and Part II

. . .

From Fripp's Facebook on the review:

Lee van Laer: I’d argue KC is not prog-rock but a different beast entirely...
RF: A wonderful argument IMO.

The next step is Discipline

The 1980s see a very different King Crimson incarnation originally touring under the name Discipline . The presence of Adrian Belew meant that Robert Fripp was working for the first time with another guitarist. This incarnation of Fripp, Belew, Bruford and Levin becomes the first one to record successive studio albums with the same lineup.
