In October and December 1994, King Crimson recorded their eleventh studio album, Thrak , at Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios . Containing revised versions of the songs from Vrooom , plus some new tracks, the album was described by Q magazine as having “jazz-scented rock structures, characterised by noisy, angular, exquisite guitar interplay” and an “athletic, ever-inventive rhythm section”, while being in tune with the sound of alternative rock of the mid-1990s. Examples of the band’s efforts to integrate their multiple elements could be heard on the accessible (but complex) songs “Dinosaur” and “Sex Sleep Eat Drink Dream”, the more straightforward ballad “One Time”, as well as “Radio I” and “Radio II”- a pair of Fripp’s Soundscapes instrumentals.
