Capturing the final performance of King Crimson's critically acclaimed 1980s lineup before a prolonged hiatus, this Montreal concert is a masterclass in interlocking, gamelan-inspired guitar work and complex polyrhythms. The quartet injects their meticulously structured New Wave aesthetic with ferocious, manic energy and improvisational fire. The recording is widely considered the definitive document of the 'Discipline' era's astonishing technical supremacy.
