Amazon.com: This 31-minute set of improvs and live sessions reunites the awesomely tight Fripp/Bruford/Belew/Levin axis with additional sonic assault from bassist Trey Gunn and percussionist Pat Mastelotto. Belew bellows three whacked-out songs ('Sex Sleep Eat Drink Dream' is the keeper) and the ensemble's avant garde grit is showcased to great effect on the furious title track. --Jeff Bateman

Rating: - Introducing the KC Double Trio to the world
A must for all King Crimson fans, this is a 'calling card', as the liner notes suggest, a means to introduce King Crimson's Double Trio lineup to the listening audience. The casual listener unfamiliar with Crimson can find plenty here that will open their ears, if they are willing to be receptive, but the real treat is for dedicated Crimson fans: exceptionally tight preliminary readings of four songs that would later appear on the full-length THRAK CD, as well as two other tracks that didn't make it to that disc. As a musician and Crim aficionado, I find that these tracks offer intriguing glimpses of how these songs were interpreted early on. The arrangements are largely similar to the THRAK versions, but the performances of this particular combination of musicians means that the songs not only stand on their own, apart from THRAK, but also reveal how this group can shape and transform compositions over time.

Rating: - If you liked Thrak
This CD is completly worth your time. I was worried that this would just be an inferior teaser to thrak when I bought it, but it turns out to be a wonderful compliment to thrak. THis CD is rawer and grittier, which is in a way absolutly refreshing if you are used to all their polished studio LPs. Thrak is a little better mixed and is longer and somewhat more satisfying. I can listen to thrak and be done, but this leaves me wanting more King Crimson. I prefer the song Thrak on here as oppossed to on the CD Thrak, since it has an extended middle section. This is significantly different from thrack to warrent music fans a listen.
Rating: - Excellent
When thios came out, I was comletely blown away. I owned some old Crimson stuff and I had liked Discipline a lot but this was so much better. As the other reviews point out, it is a rather expensive EP with a slightly different sound from the long playing CD that would follow (Thrak) but I prefer this one sonically. It is very brutal and comes over really well). I saw them in Massachusets later I think in 1996 and it was simply great as well. A great band.
