Jumping in here a bit late I realize but thought I'd add my two cents
worth....
I am a huge fan of the 80's on KC, not really into the early stuff.
Discipline is one of my all time favorite albums and only grows so over time.
it's one of those rare recordings that the more you listen to it the more
you get into it's groove instead of tiring of it, at least for me. I think
it offeres the BEST mix of Fripp's methodical precision and Belew's perverted
pop without going over the top on either side. Thrak and the post Thrak
works are great but a little complex for an easy listen and as of yet I like
them but don't really LOVE them, especially ThrakAttak.... I mean, what's
the point? Heavy metal ambient? I dunno, it's all in your taste I suppose.
I think that MAYBE, just maybe, the double trio is a bit too complex for my
ears, but then I thought the same of Discipline when I initially got it.
