text: Release First released on 3 April 1995, THRAK reached number 58 in the UK Albums Chart, their most recent release to make the chart. The album was reissued on CD in 2002 in a remastered edition. A significantly different 5.1 surround sound mix by Jakko Jakszyk was released as a CD/DVD-A release in October 2015 for the “40th Anniversary Series”. This edition also featured a reimagined new stereo mix by Fripp and Jakszyk. These two mixes were also included in the 2015 THRAK BOX alongside previously unissued studio and live recordings from the period.
  Reception
  Trouser Press described it as "an absolute monster, a cerebral sextet adventure stunning in its precisely controlled rock power."
  In a retrospective review of Thrak, Allmusic called King Crimson "The only progressive rock band from the '60s to be making new, vital, progressive music in the '90s" and expressed high regard for the various ways they exploited the double trio format on the album. While they noted the album makes a number of nods to previous King Crimson works, they felt that this was a subtle acknowledgment of King Crimson's established fan base rather than a preoccupation with their own past.
