King Crimson - FraKctured

[@caiosoares2834]

The reason why this is named FraKctured is because that's what will happen to your fingers when you try to play this traKc.

The Construkction of Light is one of my favorite KC albums. I don’t know how people don’t like this.

[@javierllerena5756]

Because this is not music is progressive sounds , never I would like this band , only the first albums as In the court of the Crimson King, Lizzard , In the Wake Of Poseidon are Prog rock .

[@user-mp9xz8yg4j]

@@javierllerena5756It definitely is music! Just because they use more modern sounds does not negate the fact that it still is music.

[@jonnykhatru]

It's one of their less creative albums, it relies pretty heavily on past ideas, albeit with a pretty fresh production sound in my opinion, although I know a lot of people don't like the electronic drum sounds which have dated. I love the album, but it is not one of my favourites.

[@Jackand_me]

Thats becuase they have not been Crimsonized

[@yarlodek5842]

A great album if you want Robert Fripp prog metal. Larks IV and FraKctured are some of my favorite KC tracks.

[@cjrebel]

Robert Fripp is nearly unique among guitarists who could actually play this let alone compose it. It blows my mind every single time I hear it... Just another reason Fripp is my favorite guitarist...

[@PrimitiveInTheExtreme]

A succession of notes and guitar arpeggios. When the bass comes in here comes the monster. 5:10 here comes the total delirium. Wonderful instrumental track.

[@kessaladel5747]

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[@kentakorma8423]

This is the modern version of classical music. This might be hard the accept, but since life got crazier and complex, classical music changed to this, to keep up with craziness and complexliness of life

[@katherinehunter9526]

I agree with you there! Here and everywhere! Yes it's Classical music with Electricity! ✌❣👑❤🎸🥁🎹🎶🤘 🇨🇦💃🐈

[@timhalo7898]

Have you heard The Right of Spring? Makes the whole of all electric guitar based music sound tame. That being said Stravinsky influenced Frip to write Lark's Tongues...

Ah ok, I see. For once people weren't lying when saying this song is hard. That said, beyond the difficulty I love the direction in this. The clean parts are beautiful.

Trey Gunn is Nasty. Has Chops on low end. Love Tony Levin but Trey Gunn brings it. John Wetton , Greg Lake. King Crimson always held down Low End along with Rhythm. This record overlooked. This is one of the Gems along with Lsrks 4.

[@mamonreyes]

[@octofish]

Purchased upon release. Had it on loop for about six months. Excellent record. Saw the following tour in Chicago. Greatness.

[@PeteZolli]

Trey Gunn is underappreciated by Crim fans. He was at least the equal of any of the other low-end specialists.

[@normanrowe2831]

Low end specialists?????

[@squeegeeboard]

@@normanrowe2831 low end as in low sounds. Bass players

[@fabioriato]

This album is making me appreciate Trey more!

[@crystalc1ear]

He joined the band when Tony Levin (a much more famous player) was there, so he got overshadowed by him. TCOL and TPTB show that he is a really great bassist / stickist and can easily hold his own in the band

[@mattcain1274]

Trey Gunn is my favorite Crimson "bass player". Absolute tone wizard and master composer/improviser.

[@dr.weaklicksofcrashedcurse4535]

How can I explain what goes through my head when people keep telling me that this or that famous guy is the best guitar player on earth?

[@ericarmstrong6540]

Fripp is a diabolical master of the guitar. This track and it's musical ancestor, "Fracture", prove that in spades.

[@suezuccati304]

I also didnt get it at first...

[@suezuccati304]

But, this song is (mostly) actually played in one guitar.

[@NyeGuy-yv2dv]

It is not a question of who is the best. That is subjective. The real question is who is the most important guitarist in rock. The answer is not Robert Fripp. Fripp is a genious and a master of the instrument but not culturally known or relevant to the average music listener. Using the metrics of technical skills both artistically and technologically along with cultural impact and you land on Eddie Van Halen. Fripp is music for deep listeners and music nerds in the extreme. I am one of those nerds so no disrespect at all. But, Eddie Van Halen radiated joy and danger in his playing. His swagger and wink while melting your face makes him unique in the pantheon of guitar gods. Women loved Van Halen as much as guys and VH was a cross generational sensation. King Crimson shows are a study in sausage party dynamics. Not a chick in site! Long live King Crimson.

If you fracture yourself, you can rearrange yourself to become something else. Thanks for breaking/fracturing me when I need to reshape myself. I love you king crimson. This song fractures me just the right way,,,,,,,, so i can rearrange myself. Belive it or not robert fripp, this song is your best song, even better than walking on air (or all the other masterpieces in In the court of crimson king, maybe even better than starless I am not sure lol)

Just listening to this for the first time ever and it kinda reminds me of a Brit band called The Enid, some of their albums have stuff like this on, except more 'orchestralized', if there's such a word. Wonder if Fripp ever knew Robert John Godfrey. Just thinking (geesh, that hurt. Shouldn't do things like that!) RJG and Fripp DO have one thing in common, from what I've read about Fripp - never seen him or anything - complete over-seriousness about their own stuff. For those who don't know, Robert-John Godfrey of the Enid was an excellent keyboardist - he played and wrote all the band's music on keyboards, still does - but he's not as well-known as Rick Wakeman. Because he's not QUITE as good! And he HATES that! Saw them both in a London Stately Home - Kenwood House in Hampstead - and there were 2 pianos there so they started improvising a concert for anyone passing. And RJG was doing the BEEG COMPOSER thang, flopping about like a muppet with broken strings, and Rick started copying him! The crowd burst out laughing and Robert-John just stalked off! Rick shot him an amazed look and carried on playing. What's that got to do with Fripp, King Crimson or this track? Absolutely Fripp-all! Just felt like leaving it here. Chris.
