Album Notes & Community Reviews
Released as a promotional double A-side to support 'Remain in Light', 'The Great Curve' perfectly encapsulates the band's densely layered, Fela Kuti-inspired rhythmic experiments. The track highlights King Crimson guitarist Adrian Belew's erratic, animalistic solos, cementing the album's reputation as a groundbreaking fusion of worldbeat and post-punk.
