Hey Bill,
Blasphemy makes the world go round!
Oh yeah, I didn't mean that Fripp WAS way ahead of most of us in the sense that he started doing it first or something. Rather I meant that he, in my humble opinion, IS way ahead of most of us in terms of using the looping medium to express his musical vision.
Fripp was in a band before doing Soundscapes?
Just a quick tale: I dragged the wife along to the last Soundscapes tour on the left coast and thought I'd "teach" her about active listening. Had her close her eyes, be in the moment, etc, etc. After the show she described to me the vivid visual hallucinations she had while "actively listening". Quick learner that one.
