Alex Mundy has come up with an instrumental mix of Frame By Frame performed in 2019. As with other such mixes, it takes the listener under the hood of the song that helped to define 1980s King Crimson. This reimagining of the song comes with a percussion-based introduction devised by Gavin Harrison that evokes elements of Steve Reich’s seminal 1970/1971 composition, Drumming. Given that Belew and Fripp met up briefly at a New York performance in early 1980 of Reich’s masterpiece, Music For 18 Musicians, this ingenious introduction feels like an acknowledgement of Reich’s influence on the conceptual underpinning of the Discipline group. As the song progresses, we can trace its trickling course as it tumbles through the piece, adding yet another contrapuntal layer effective during the phasing and double-timed arpeggio sections.
