King Crimson - Frame By Frame

FRAME BY FRAME
(Fripp, Heyworth)

Frame by frame (suddenly)...
Death by drowning (from within)
In your own, in your own, analysis…

Step by step (suddenly)...
Doubt by numbers (from within)
In your own, in your own, analysis…

Robert Fripp's riff in this song is impossible... You can play like for 10-15 seconds at most and you lose it, but he just keeps going and going... Dann, that's just impeccable technique...

[ZaAlter]

So both guitars are playing the same riff, but one of them's playing it with out the last note so it's in 13/8 instead of 7/4 right? And everytime they play the riff the second guitar lags behind by an extra note, and they get more and more out of sync until eventually they're exactly one bar apart and they start play at the same time again, it's crazy shit bro, you gotta hear it

[BigBoss]

This will always be one of the most impressive feats of guitar prowess ever committed to tape

[markreichenbach]

Can't wait to see the Vai Belew Tsunami when they whip this out!

[m.a.freund]

Ok, yeah, the guitar parts are pretty much the most permanently mindwarping thing I've ever heard, but how about Belew's singing? Just gorgeous. You can hear so much of his influence in Thom Yorke. Of all the aspects of King Crimson that get overlooked, the biggest one for me is Belew's singing on these records, when he actually sings.

[designguy]

Belew's vocals are outstanding here. My brother introduced me to this music. I am grateful.

[doozythedoctor]

This quickly became my favorite song when exploring King Crimson's discography

[richarddavis]

In the late 70's Progressive rock started dying out. The bands started to shift to pop or soft rock, or disbanded. Then came King Crimson Discipline around 1982 that basally saved the decade for music. This LP inspired so many and gave us hope that the music business could produce something interesting again. I had friends, young and old with diverse musical tastes and everyone that I played this LP for loved it.

[NytronX]

Seeing Steve Vai and Adrian Belew perform this live was bucket list stuff.

[KilllingTechonology]

This song is a proof of Robert Fripp's genius.

[PrimitiveInTheExtreme]

Every time I listen to this song I get chills.

[SEGAClownboss]

Flowery guitar lines and booming, blossoming basslines, with love from all over the world!

[mejsjalv]

This one is an underrated perfect pop song. It's so catchy, easy to remember, and the performance... These lads are a different breed of musicianship. Fkng song is ridiculously hard to play. Pick the instrument part... all of them are a nightmare to nail right. Belew live doing this one live playing guitar and singing it, one of the most impressive things to witness.

[raymondduck]

A friend introduced me to this album when it hit.
It went too well with our wild ways. Listen, party, repeat.
" I liked it ... I do think it's good."

[yungbathwater]

Yet another song that makes me wonder why King Crimson isn't as well known as they should be, at least here in the US.

[caiosoares]

This track always sounds to me like a JRPG battle theme. I wouldn't be surprised if some japanese composers of games like Final Fantasy and such were into King Crimson.
Edit: Tony Levin's backvocals here are great too.

[souldavidthompson]

I saw the Discipline Your in Atlanta in Nov. '81.
This interplay of guitars Robert and Adrian), stick bass (Tony) and drums (Bill) was an early highlight of that show.
Amazing musicianship!

[FabienSchori-uomg]

This is one of the most wonderfully marvelous and powerfull rock n roll song i've ever heard !!!

[TheGoldenChile]

Adrian Belew's beautiful pristine voice, his perfect highs and gorgeous vibratos. Underrated as hell in general.

[fatimabarroca]

I´ve been hearing King Crimson since ever. The more I hear, the more I love them.
