klenke Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 "All of this is meaningless unless we experience the terror of being separated from the source of power which fuels the creation, and hold the conviction that redemption is entirely real." ---Robert Fripp (as heard on Sylvian/Fripp collaboration "Approaching Silence", Autumn 1994). Typical gobbledygook intellection from my man Fripp. Â Interesting to read that quote in your bio, PP, seeing as that's some pretty obscure music that I thought only I listened to. Quote
Off_White Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 I don't listen to it much, but I saw Fripp perform back around 1980. It was... memorable. Quote
klenke Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 As The League of Gentlemen, no doubt, as heard on "God Save the King," though the live album "Thrang Thrang Gozinblux" is much better. Hard strummin' punk. Not for everyone's taste. Quote

Lots of noises you wouldn't associate with a guitar. Quote
klenke Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 Oh, then probably his first Frippertronics album, released in 1981. On the liner notes, there are tour dates listed from April 1979 to August 1979, though he was probably also doing that tape loop stuff in 1980. In the list, it says he was at Seattle's Pike Place Theatre on Aug. 2, 1979 and Tower Records the next day. He improved the technique in the early 1990s renaming it from Frippertronics (a term coined by Eno, I believe) to Soundscapes. You can listen to it and have no idea it's originating from a guitar, much less one guitar. Quote
bunglehead Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 Nice pics, guys! Fripp: somewhat overrated, but entertaining. Quote

Typical gobbledygook intellection from my man Fripp.  Interesting to read that quote in your bio, PP, seeing as that's some pretty obscure music that I thought only I listened to.   Even more amazing in that your remembered it!  I sneak Fripp quotes in all the time. They crack me up.  PS:  T Levin is back in the band and they will be touring next summer!  You're right about live League rocking. The CD mix on the studio stuff sucks. LP is a much better mix. God save the Queen is a compilation of two albums. Sexy Coco once mocked me for posting something aboutthe theory of Seven.  Wave sounds great on Damage and only so so on Gone to Earth      Edited December 11, 2003 by Peter_Puget Quote
mattp Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 Dru, is that one of those things standing right above the Silver-Skagit road? Quote
Dru Posted December 11, 2003 Author Posted December 11, 2003 No, and IT"S NOT ROBERT FRIPP's NEW ART PROJECT EITHER! Quote

Peter_Puget Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 First one to PM me with a request and their address will recieve a special Soundscape (on CD)recorded at the WTC in 2000. Quote
Peter_Puget Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 It took 3 minutes for the first PM to arrive - you guys must not be music fans. Â PP Quote
