Album Notes & Community Reviews

The second installment of the King Crimson guitarist's conceptual solo trilogy represents a stark shift into predominantly electronic composition. Relying heavily on drum machines, loop pedals, and synthesizers, Belew crafts an anxious, highly mechanical sonic environment that eschews traditional progressive rock for glitchy, IDM-influenced experimentation.
