repost from @thelegendsofmusic King Crimson performing “Discipline” Live on the 28th of April, 1984 at the Kani Hoken Hall in Tokyo, Japan King Crimson’s comeback in ’81 is nothing short of extraordinary. They didn’t try to revive their past—they obliterated it. After a seven-year hiatus, Robert Fripp reassembled the band with a new lineup and a radically different sonic palette. Gone were the symphonic outbursts of the ‘70s; in their place came polyrhythmic precision, interlocking guitar patterns, and a restless embrace of New Wave and minimalism. Adrian Belew’s angular vocals and Fripp’s cerebral guitar lines dance atop Bill Bruford’s intricate drumming and Tony Levin’s elastic Chapman Stick bass work. This album isn’t just a reinvention—it’s a reinvigoration of what progressive music can be: leaner, sharper, and unafraid to challenge expectations. Discipline stands as one of the boldest artistic pivots in rock history—an album as intellectually rigorous as it is rhythmically hypnotic. #Music #ProgressiveRock #KingCrimson #TonyLevin #BillBruford #RobertFripp #AdrianBelew iiii]; )'
