Seven years after King Crimson had 'ceased to exist', King Crimson's reinvention as a new quartet consisting of Robert Fripp, Bill Bruford, Adrian Belew and Tony Levin brought about a surprising new era, which delighted fans old and new. Stylistically very different from the King Crimson of the 1970s, this new line-up incorporated rock with electronica, funk, pure pop, modern avant-garde, and a complex variety of musical textures and influences. 'Discipline' (1981) charted on release in many countries - including the UK & USA - and songs written for the album such as 'Matte Kudasai' have become established favorites in the band's repertoire. The album remains one of the key albums of the early 1980s and one of King Crimson's most popular and best-selling. King Crimson's 1980s studio trilogy is now celebrated as a classic period, the intricacies of the playing and details in the compositional style became a key influence on sub-genres such as math rock.
