Here's a wonderful fan edit combining live performances of Fripp and Gabriel with the EXPOSURE version of "Here Comes The Flood":
I'd be interested to hear any previously unreleased vocals from Hammill's night in the studio. Fripp has described it in interviews.
There was a nice middle ground with 1999. It was very much based around the greatly expanded capabilities of his newer rig but still had a feel very similar to the earlier Frippertronics pieces. You could still make out guitar-based sounds and that fascinated me. The following Soundscapes Vol. 1-3 was almost as interesting and intriguing. But he quickly passed through that phase and seemed to shun having any sound or feel of guitar in the soundscapes. When he started focusing on ringing bells and stuff, I really lost all interest. Speaking of 1999, does anyone else recall talk of an expanded set for that album?
Speaking of Soundscapes, I've seen enough of Fripp performing these live/solo that I really enjoy those that I have on CD. I think that witnessing the assembly of a soundscape live adds to one's appreciation, or at least that is what I have found.
To really appreciate Robert Fripp music , you have to dig outside the Mighty Crims, I have bought many soundscapes concerts from DGM , and these are among my favorites purchases I have got with my membership.
Ruh...?! Finally...?! Much as I'd like to believe this...it just cannot be complete without excerpts from every production gig he'd done from Daryl Hall through Peter Gabriel's second disc. Roches, Andy Summers, Eno, Blondie, League Gentlemen: there's a load of essentially-relevant stuff he can't possibly have the rights to include in that set! Nevertheless...this is gonna make me free-up a whole shelf, dedicated to his whole six-year-stretch! This is one small, mobile intelligent unit!
Yep. Had to give him a bottle of brandy or something to that effect. He was on such a creative high point between 75-79. It was though Exposure that I was first um, exposed to PH. Lol
True but I was thinking of the LOG album that never made it to CD, plus the saga of the band itself + RF journals from their tours. Seems to me like it would be obscured in an Exposure box. But maybe I'm thinking too much of small, mobile, independent packages!
Since 2021 might be the LAST King Crimson tour, knowing that they recorded and filmed (since 2019) all performances, that I assumed will be released sometimes..., DGM is owned 50/50 between Mr. Fripp and Singleton and that David Singleton is at most in his early 60s and likely might need to stuff some $ for his retirement. I do not know, how DGM envision their future, but it will not surprised me , if they are still lots of material in the vault that will come out later to keep the cashflow coming in. Will see
I've given up trying to work out how sounds musicians' finances are and, to be honest, I'm not sure that they themselves are the best judge of that. That said:- My feeling is that they've watched a downward-trending line on a graph showing them returns on the large boxed sets (with possibly an upward kink on the 1969 set). An RF solo set will be a test balloon on how much interest there is outside the KC catalogue, so I would think that they will be looking to make it a decent package with some awareness that it might be the last financially viable set on this scale. (That said, I'm vague on what other potential sets might follow in the future!)
Depending on what's in the Exposed box, there is a few opportunities A Fripp/Eno box League of Gentlemen box Travis and Fripp box.
She's keeping herself busy working on the forthcoming Sunday All Over The World box and the expanded 'Anthem' set.
Fripp/Eno - I doubt there's anything left to release LOG - That will presumably be included on this box, hopefully on a jam-packed BluRay Travis/Fripp - yeah, maybe
Exposure and the Frippertronic albums for sure Cant wait ( dont care for soundscape, the magic was gone with the new technic)
The Paris concert would be a nice add-on to the box for those who missed on it. Quite an experience to immerse yourself in and a rewarding one.
Stick to Exposure - trilogy recordings and frippertronics The drive to 1984 LoG doesn’t fit well here
I disagree. If Frippertronics are included, then it seems natural to expect "God Save the Queen/Under Heavy Manners": from "Discotronics" to LoG seems like a small step. In fact, there's a version of "The Zero of the Signified" by LoG in the Stormy Monday series (Volume 1). Also, there's a LoG track on the announced "Elements 2021" which might hint at LoG's inclusion in the Exposures box? At least, that's what I hope.
