The whole point of the ProjeKct enterprise was to develop the next batch of Crimson material and have some fun at the same time.[endtease] Anyone coming new to this line-up will be intrigued to hear the themes from the majority of The ConstrucKtion of Light album in their early forms, including a sneaky peek of FraKctured around the 5.30 mark during Light ConstruKction. Live Groove is a headlong charge into a blinding Gunn solo set against a wash of those bitter-sweet Starless-style strings that grab your throat and heart at the same time. And of course you know you’re going to want to hear The Deception of the Thrush soar off into the clouds.
Also on offer here is a short mid-set outing for Adrian Belew, who had been working his socks off behind the V-drums during the first half. We get a short selection of songs from his solo albums as well as fairly rare solo rendition of Matte Kudasai, and a truly superb acoustic rendition of Dinosaur which knocks spots off the version he did the very next day.
Arguably the most varied and diverse show of their brief career, ProjeKct Two is on devastating form here with plenty to keep both grizzled KC vets and newcomers more than happy.
