Product description

King Crimson's 1981 masterpiece, Discipline, is a groundbreaking album that showcases the band's unique blend of progressive rock, art rock, symphonic rock, and psychedelic rock. Released on 22 September 1981 through Discipline Global Mobile, this iconic record boasts a diverse tracklist, featuring intricate pieces such as 'Elephant Talk', 'Frame By Frame', and 'Matte Kudasai'.

The album's 1 hour and 1 minute duration is filled with complex compositions, including the thought-provoking 'Indiscipline' and the mesmerising 'The Sheltering Sky'. Additionally, the record includes an alternate version of 'Matte Kudasai', offering a fascinating glimpse into the band's creative process. The 'Terrifying Tale of Thela Hun Ginjeet' and 'Studio Sessions' provide further insight into the making of this seminal work.

With Discipline, King Crimson pushes the boundaries of rock music, creating a rich and immersive experience that will captivate fans of the genre. This influential album is a testament to the band's innovative spirit and their ability to craft music that is both challenging and rewarding. As a work of sonic art, Discipline remains a compelling and essential listen, inviting listeners to explore the intricate soundscapes and musical mastery that King Crimson is renowned for.

  • Discipline Reissue Delight

    5 out of 5 stars
    daccdeuyapmDecember 6, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Delighted to see this reissue sans the "bonus track" of Matte Kudasai (Alt. Mix) (check it out here: https://www.discogs.com/release/12125596-King-Crimson-Discipline). I wouldn't have purchased that version as Discipline is the perfect closer. Fantastic "remix" of this timeless album. Haven't compared it to my 1981 copy (you can find it here: https://www.discogs.com/release/7814582-King-Crimson-Discipline), but it sounds fantastic to me!

  • Discipline Era Debut Shines

    5 out of 5 stars
    NivKlcFmoWNovember 22, 2025United States🇺🇸

    It's a mystery to me why this particular pressing hasn't been reviewed yet, but let me tell you, musically speaking, it's an outstanding debut from the "Discipline" era lineup. I'm a huge fan of that whole period, though some folks consider this the pinnacle. The sound is well-balanced and full-bodied. I do wish Warner bros. had used QUIEX II audiophile vinyl for this, which was an option back then…I haven't made any comparisons to other pressings or reissues, though… The 40th anniversary box set or the dual CD/DVD package with 5.1 and high-res mixes are fantastic too, offering a new perspective on this timeless work. The music feels as fresh today as it did back then. The more I listen, the more it grows on me… no matter how I analyze it or dissect it, it holds up. I WISH YOU WERE HERE TO EXPERIENCE IT!!!

  • Flawless Vinyl Sound

    5 out of 5 stars
    Fgmsnojoi_63August 20, 2025United States🇺🇸

    This is an absolutely flawless reproduction with an amazing sound quality. I haven't noticed any imperfections on the vinyl, and the instruments are incredibly crisp and powerful. I'm confident this is a demo record in my collection.

  • 80's Albums Favorite

    5 out of 5 stars
    FozeLewKidiJuly 25, 2025United States🇺🇸

    I'm more into the red, blue, and yellow albums from the 80's, with the red one being my favorite. I particularly love the track where Adrian Belew plays Elephant Talk...

  • UK Version Best Buy

    5 out of 5 stars
    Qohoz_UhnfiJune 21, 2025United States🇺🇸

    The initial UK version of this sounds absolutely fantastic. Highly suggest it. Don't spend your cash on other versions.

About King Crimson

King Crimson, the iconic English progressive rock band, has left an indelible mark on the music world since their formation in London in 1968. Founded by Robert Fripp, who remained the sole constant member, the band's lineup has evolved over the decades, but their innovative spirit has never wavered. Drawing from a vast array of musical influences, including classical, jazz, folk, and experimental genres, King Crimson has crafted a unique sound that defies easy categorization. Their music is a journey through sonic landscapes, from the psychedelic and jazzy textures of their early years to the heavy, metallic sounds and avant-garde improvisations of later albums. With a career spanning over five decades, King Crimson has influenced countless artists and continues to inspire new generations with their uncompromising musical vision. Their extensive discography is a testament to their enduring legacy and their ability to push the boundaries of progressive rock.
