King Crimson the construKction of light (Virgin Records) In 1969 when guitarist Robert Fripp started art rock band King Crimson, he probably didn’t realize how deep of a dent he would leave in the music industry during a time when many progressive rock bands were emerging. He left another important dent with the release of the band’s latest off Virgin Records, “the construKction of light.” This album shows that some bands can admirably stick to their roots instead of adhering to the demand of the consumers; some just don’t care and play what they want, as is the case with King Crimson. Pat Mastelotto’s drumming is obsessed with drum loops and various improvisations while Adrian Belew tweaks some completely out-of-place guitar loops that couldn’t mix better to each song’s theme, adding a spacey edge to this remarkable landmark effort. This album, unlike many of its others, is not merely a showcase of everyone’s solo talent, but yet another step in the right direction for the band.
