[82.1] CRIMSON CURTAIN CALLS

The latest quartet incarnation of Robert Fripp's experimental and evolving King Crimson begins touring extensively in the USA and Japan from the end of this month, with dates through to April. Speculation is rife regarding the possibilities of Europe. Fripp's recent diaries have disdained the idea of London, though that may not be the final outcome. I have yet to hear the new album, The Power To Believe (released in Europe on 24 February 2003), but I'm hoping that it is an improvement on The ConstrucKtion of Light, 'FracKtured' aside... The momentum of the splendid ProjeKcts seems to have been lost somewhat.
