King Crimson - (2006) ProjeKct Six East Coast (Live)
(Review from king-crimson.com)
The latest projeKct of King Crimson, ProjeKct Six consists of only Robert Fripp and Adrian Belew. Compiled from three different gigs while opening for the band Porcupine Tree, this album is an amazing journey into the world of new sounds from both Fripp and Belew. The end result sounds like a cross between ProjeKct Two (as Belew is reprising his role on the electronic V-drum kit) and the more recent activity of King Crimson themselves.
Despite all the technology involved this is a pared-back sound compared to previous projeKcts, and there's a tentative, exploratory quality about much of the music; two players in search of that often elusive moment, an intriguing aspect which provides much of the tension and appeal.
As well as the big set pieces there are some little jewels to be found in small places; the Frippertronics-like ending of Berklee Strut and the beginning of End Time Boston. With Belew pounding on an electronic drum kit, Fripp tore into a set of improvised sound sketches, mixing in hints of electronic programming under his searing guitar explorations.
Both Robert Fripp and Adrian Belew have played effortlessly together for many years as guitarists. Even here, with Belew away from his guitar and beating the drums instead, they still play off each other like as if they were one.
