Yeah, you might be older Jethro. Me=40. Nag, I'll be honest, I don't mind the band going for a darker, heavier sound on this record. I do recall, when I first got it, that I found Mastelotto very annoying compared to Bruford. Fripp for some reason gave him a ton of leeway compared to the reins he had on Bruford. If you have the Frame by Frame box set, Fripp has some awesome instructions for Bruford in it. Basically, "if you feel like playing something, don't." Mastelotto is too much of a diddler for me, heh.

Bruford rooolz. Bill and Robert have never been good friends, apparently.
edit: I think Robert Fripp has never had any friends.

I just find it too emotionless, bleak and mechanical to work. But to each their own, of course.

Man, what is with the people reviewing this album? The title track is absolutely brilliant - possibly the best track the band has released since Discipline - far from cold and lifeless, the song is extremely emotional! If any song here is truly awful, it's ProzaKc Blues - and yet you cite that as one of the better songs? Wtf?
I can see how one would say that FraKctured and Larks IV are lifeless (though I think the way Larks IV reinterprets Larks II is really interesting, while the perpetuo moto parts of FraKctured are more like retreads), and I'm not much on Oyster Soup myself, but the title track is perfect.

Top 5 KC easily... breathtakingly weird, wild, dark an playful. I really don't get all the hate...
