This is an abbreviated compilation of the amazing 4 CD 'ProjeKcts' boxed set - a good place to start if you are interested in the improvised nature of King Crimson.
'A Beginners' Guide to the ProjeKcts' (1999), is a key recording in understanding recent Crimson history, with its presentation of a selection of material from the sub-groupings that formed of various members of the mid 90s double trio line-up.
The material - mostly derived from improvised start points - performed by the four separate ProjeKcts bands informed much of the musical thinking of subsequent Crimson activities. The album, itself a collection drawn from the 4CD box set of ProjeKcts recordings, was subtitled 'The Deception of the Thrush' and that particular piece became a regular part of the King Crimson set.
Fripp refers to this period as "the fractalisation of King Crimson" with the individual ProjeKcts acting partly as a type of research and development for future King Crimson output. Begun as a unique experiment, the ProjeKcts became a vital component in King Crimson's ongoing evolution.
