Re: [looper's] RE: First Excursions into Frippertronics



Title: Re: [looper's] RE: First Excursions into Frippertronics
duncan writ:

but it's the less obvious examples which are the sort of area where fripp shines- the solo on bowie's "thunderosa", his entry into vdgg's "man-erg" which sounds like he's walked into the room backwards just in time for his solo.... the man used to have a sense of humour.

recommended: the original version of "league of gentlemen" (only on vinyl, so far as I know) and- where it works best, in a rock context- "exposure" (a terrific, under-rated album) and the companion daryl hall "sacred songs". pretty much anything where he appears as a guest.

avoid the later crimson incarnations, esp. the construKction set. the projeKct stuff is way better, while "red" (the last "proper" KC album) was mr cobain's favourite album ever. apparently.

you have to love the guy, curmudgeon though he be. just don't try to take his picture during a set- he will leave the stage before the flash has faded.

duncan/r.m.i.



so i'm just wondering since RF doesnt like his picture taken while playing-how did this bootleg video i have come about?
all it says is "robert fripp 27-Jan-95 San Diego,Ca" the guy obviously has his vid camera setup right in front of fripp and its a great show-'specially when he starts the show and begins pushing buttons and stompin on stompers and*nothing works*! its funny-fripp's tech comes out and starts crawling around the wires and boxes and fripp looks at the crowd and mumbles"talk among yourselves" to great laughter. eventually the shows goes w/out a hitch and its great.
anybody seen this one?
