Vrooom

Vrooom (stylised as VROOOM) is an EP by the band King Crimson, classified as a mini-album due to its length. It was released in 1994 as a companion to the subsequent full length album THRAK (1995). It is the first King Crimson release to feature the “double trio” of guitarists Robert Fripp and Adrian Belew, bassists Trey Gunn and Tony Levin, and drummers Bill Bruford and Pat Mastelotto.

All of the tracks on VROOOM (with the exception of "Cage" and "When I Say Stop, Continue") were re-recorded for use on the Thrak album the following year.

A series of instrumental improvisations recorded during the studio rehearsals for this album, were released five years later as The Vrooom Sessions.
