Thrak is an album by the band King Crimson released in 1995, a companion to the preceding mini-album VROOOM (1994). This album was recorded in the "double trio" format of King Crimson. The track "B'Boom" features the first drum solo to appear on a King Crimson studio album. Its title may or may not reference the album M'Boom by prolific jazz drummer Max Roach. Coincidentally, "B'Boom" was originally based around a rhythm exercise written by Gavin Harrison, who joined King Crimson over a decade later.
