In 2000, while the band King Crimson were recording the album The ConstruKction of Light, the four members simultaneously recorded improvised material as ProjeKct X. This continued the tradition of ProjeKcts One, Two, Three, and Four, experimental sub-groups which King Crimson had 'fraKctalised' into between 1997 and 1999.
Heaven and Earth was released in 2000 on the Discipline Global Mobile label in Europe and the U.S. and Pony Canyon in Japan The title track also appeared as the last track on The ConstruKction of Light.
