  "Basically a supergroup album Adrian brings his power and influence from playing with Frank Zappa, David Bowie and talking heads. Tony Levin, studio musician master introduces us to the Chapman stock as the first instrument you hear on the album. Bruford from Yes and Genesis and jazz roots and of course Robert Fripp as an innovator himself (look up Frippertronics), the brain child of the king crimson band but also probably its silent but deadly weapon.

  This album is like Talking Heads on more Acid. The overall piece is unlike anything I have ever heard before. It just takes you to so many places and draws influence from so many areas. Prog, jazz, pop, spoken word, fusion, rock, jam. Though it is not something I would share with anybody it is pretty dense. My one issue with it in terms of putting identify on the players is who is playing what. The stick covers bass and treble ranges and Adrian and Fripp both play weird and complex passages. I know sheltering sky is Fripp because of the friggertronics tone. When I saw beat play live. I was stunned by of how much ground was covered by levin.

  Years ago before hearing the album I looked up king crimson to see what the fuss was about and it was a performance of Elephant Talk on the show Fridays and I was horrified by the look and sound of the band but Adrian did the solo before the last verse and it was fucking insane to me. As indiscipline says. “The more I listen to it, the more I like it.”

  As a music nerd I love the complex arrangements and stellar musicianship, the story of a band trying to be innovative. But I just really appreciate the humor that Adrain puts into some of the songs. Elephant talking with its verses begins with a letter ending with E to get to the title, but the line “these are words that start with a D this time” is just funny. Indiscipline being about a painting his wife made. The whole story in Thlea while this intense music is playing in the back." - Zach
