'Thrak' is the tenth release in the King Crimson 40th anniversary series. Recorded at Peter Gabriel's Real World studios 'Thrak' was released in 1995 followed by tours in Europe, Japan and the USA. In the USA Crimson joined the Horde tour for 1995 - among a floating lineup that included Lenny Kravitz, The Black Crowes and Ziggy Marley. 'Thrak' and its accompanying tours managed the task of appealing to older Crimson fans, while allowing the band to develop a whole new audience - perhaps unsurprisingly, as many of the musical ideas initially formulated by Crimson lineups of the 70s & 80s had been absorbed, extended and re-presented in a new light by bands directly influenced by earlier Crimson albums and performances. 'Thrak' has all the hallmarks of a classic album - an album that challenged audience expectations when released, yet still sounds exciting now. For the band's many fans, it rates comparison with the best of King Crimson studio albums, no mean feat given the quality and status of the likes of 'In The Court of the Crimson King' (1969), 'Red' (1974) and 'Discipline' (1981). CD / DVD - CD features a completely new stereo album mix by Jakko Jakszyk and Robert Fripp. DVD-A features a new 5.1 Surround Sound mix and a High Resolution Stereo mix (24bit/96khz) of the album by Jakko Jakszyk and Robert Fripp. DVD-A also features a High Resolution Stereo mix of the original album mix. DVD-A is a hybrid disc, playable in all dvd players.10CD - 12 CDs of studio and live material. 1 DVD of video material, 1 DVD-A with new hi-res and 5.1 material, 2 BD discs of studio and live material in 5.1 Surround Sound & hi-res stereo, 12" box with booklet and memorabilia.
