Notes
A small committee formed by founding father Robert Fripp, of King Crimson, ProjeKct Two lies somewhere between the guitarist-in-chief's rich solo riffwork and the rawkin yet dead-tight group efforts of his infamously pretentious prog-rock ensemble. Freaky, hi-sci-fi CD liner notes describe in somewhat anthropological detail the sessions featuring Trey Gunn and Adrian Belew, which took place in Nashville while everyone was also working hard on other projects. Space Groove is jammed with bizarre instrumentals that have snapped their leashes and begun running like fire all over the park work like wild art-class-after-schol experiments. The songs spill out like virtual spacebuckets of guitars and drums (although we read there are only two of each in studio attendance). The amount of actual musical minutes on this record is relatively (and surprisingly) short. Two discs (separately named Space Groove and Vector Patrol) cover only 80 minutes, but yes, it feels like more. Stanley Kubrick was unable to tap these fellows for what could still be the world's spaciest space movie music, if anyone's still up for it -- this record is cinemagraphic in its own right, replete with interplanetary communication systems and sonic warfare. What we hear is essentially electronics and MIDI, with a few sounds occasionally heard in nature tossed in to the mix. Fripp's and Gunn's sheer virtuosity and desire to keep any ear guessing for the duration is enough to keep us impressed -- though Belew's glittery but automatic robo-music occasionally bleeds a little adventure from the otherwise otherworldly effort. -- Becky Byrkit (allmusic.com)
