Looks/sounds interesting at first but ultimately goes nowhere.
Other opinions are available, I’m sure.
Please, Mr Moderator, Sir!
badartdog posted a Youtube link in his first post, Sir!
Yes, and look what happened!
Go to the corner Badartdog and think about what you’ve done
Indeed
Soz. Forgot where I was.
Quirky mathrock from Quebec performed in polka-dot jim jams which are reminiscent of early Genesis. That certainly brightened my morning.

Groovy, laid-back and nasty…
I’m becoming obsessed with this. It’s challenging microtonal music that you can dance to. I think this is very much inspired by Fripp’s Discotronics idea (Under Heavy Manners), but the technology has caught up and they found a way to make it work.
I broadly agree – but your comment slightly underplays how wildly ahead of the game Mr Fripp’s idea was.
I think his Discotronic pieces worked – but people are more prepared to listen to this kinda thing now.
Fripp’s “League Of Gentlemen” experiment produced some fine stuff while it lasted, in my opinion.
Inductive Resonance (Peel Session)
Yes, indeed…
I’m actually a huge fan of the ‘solo years Fripp’ and could bore you all to death with a forensic explanation of how the work he did there informed everything he did afterwards, and changed the direction of music as a whole. It’s obviously not for everyone, but it’s nice to know there’s a few here who dig it. I have the huge Exposures box and believe it is one of the most impressive boxes ever put together, and is only beaten by the King Crimson Heaven and Earth set… Ooh, Mr. Fripp!
Go on, then!
(Full disclosure: I have both of those boxes…)
A few things off the top of my head…
Exposure (in the intended form w/Daryl Hall) gives the structure of the later Discipline albums – essentially a singer songwriter imprisoned in between slabs of angular Frippisms.
Elephant Talk is the song Under Heavy Manners, but given structure by Ade. Both songs are list songs. One is of ‘isms’, the other is just ‘alphabet’.
Frame By Frame’s main riff comes from (I think) the unreleased LoG track Ooh Mr Fripp.
Matte Kudasi basically IS North Star.
Indiscipline is a throwback to the audio reportage of the Exposure album. I think one of the riffs is from LoG, somewhere.
Thela Hun Gingeet has bits of dialog from a tape, in the same manner as the ‘your house, my house’ thing from Exposure. The riff takes a direction from ‘Trap’.
The Frippertronics loops recorded during the pre-Discipline tours are all over the albums – mostly the 1979 tour. Requiem in particular.
Basically, it was all R&D.
Bullet points? I was expecting an essay under the Afterwiki heading!
I am disappointed.
(Only jesting…😁)
I’m considering writing a bit more on this, and also on Omar Rodriguez Lopez… but I need to consider the best approach. Other than you, I don’t think anyone else cares…
There’s the old “If you write it, they will come” approach..
I’m definitely interested in reading that, with the slight caveat that I disagree with Mike’s suggestion that it should be erotica.
“Erotic Guide To The Music Of Robert Fripp”.
Could be interesting reading. What would Moosey think?
Toyah might get ideas…
I was fortunate to see them live at the college I went to in Weymouth. They were excellent. I think they just did LoG stuff.
The next time Mr. Fripp played at the college I was away on a field trip, and so missed the new Fripp/Belew/Levin/Bruford King Crimson.
Fripp went to one of the college’s sister sites in Bournemouth, as I think did Greg Lake and John Wetton.
