King Crimson - Beat CD

Beat is the 1982 studio album from legendary progressive rock pioneers King Crimson. Recorded during the band’s influential early-80s era, the record features Robert Fripp alongside Adrian Belew, Tony Levin and Bill Bruford.

Inspired in part by the writings of the Beat Generation, the album combines intricate guitar interplay, complex rhythms and a sharper, more accessible songwriting approach. Tracks such as “Heartbeat” and “Neal and Jack and Me” balance melodic hooks with the band’s trademark experimental edge.

Blending progressive rock sophistication with new wave textures and cutting-edge musicianship, Beat stands as one of the defining releases from this celebrated lineup.
