Sometimes God Smiles - The Young Person's Guide To Discipline Volume II
is a 30 track 72 minute plus CD giving the listener an insight to bands and artists on the Discipline Record label.

As you would expect from a label owned by one Mr. Robert Fripp (guitarist with King Crimson) there is quite a large presence from King Crimson (4 tracks), Robert Fripp (3 tracks), besides other Robert Fripp side projects such as ProjeKct Two (3 tracks) and ProjeKct One (1 track).

To be honest, I could not find fault with any of the tracks on this wonderful insight to the music on the Discipline label, but then I am a bit biased as I am a big King Crimson/Robert Fripp fan.

Besides the many tracks by King Crimson/Robert Fripp and side projects there are still some excellent tracks by the various artists on the Discipline label. Namely Adrian Belew, Bill Bruford, and Mr McFall's Chamber does an excellent rendition of Robert Wyatt's 'Shipbuilding' and then there's also the vocal talents of Peter Hammill and the classical guitar influenced California Guitar Trio.

This CD should appeal to all fans of King Crimson has it gives you an insight to the other projects Robert and the other members of King Crimson are currently doing.

All I know now is that after listening to this CD, there's quite a few more CD's I will have to purchase...
