1979 U.S. pressing

Oh man, do I ever love this record.
It’s been a while since I’ve played it start to finish.

Fripp’s very first solo album, it sticks out a bit for its focus on rock song structures, though his signature “Frippertronics” are still very much present.

This has a murderer’s row of talented guests on it; Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Daryl Hall, Peter Hammill, Brian Eno, and Tony Levin to name just a few.

When Fripp moved to NYC in ‘77 a few years after the OG King Crimson busted up, Fripp became part of the city’s blossoming #punk and #newwave scene, and you can hear a lot of brush strokes of that in some of these songs.

It’s such a satisfying and artful album on every level.
