Thrak
THRAK is the eleventh studio album by the band King Crimson released in 1995, the successor to the preceding mini-album VROOOM (1994).
Recording
This album was recorded in the "double trio" format of King Crimson.
Release
Released on 3 April 1995, THRAK reached number 58 in the UK Albums Chart, their last album to chart.[1]
The album was first released on CD in 1995, followed by a remastered edition in 2002.

Reception
Trouser Press described it as "an absolute monster, a cerebral sextet adventure stunning in its precisely controlled rock power."[5]
