The VROOOM Sessions is an album of instrumental outtakes recorded by King Crimson as studio improvisations during the rehearsals for the recording sessions of their 1994 comeback EP Vrooom.
These were the first studio recordings made by King Crimson after Robert Fripp reformed the band in 1994, in what has been called the "Double Trio" lineup. Along with Vrooom and the 1995 full-length THRAK and the Nashville Rehearsals, these are the only studio recordings of King Crimson's 1994-1997 formation. These outtakes were later released through the band's Collectors' Club in December 1999, not long after Bill Bruford and Tony Levin had left the band (the latter in a temporary basis) and thus marking the end of the Double Trio format.
