FRIPP, ROBERT - The First Day (with David Sylvian) (1993)

The Article has images
2008-07-10 11:26:03 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...Fripp and David Sylvian have done together. In the current state, with both The First Day and Damage being present in both artists discography here on Prog Archives, and different people reviewing in one of the two locations (creating, thus, two different general ratings for the same album), its quite a mess. The idea of pushing the albums...

FRIPP, ROBERT - Exposure (1979)

...Fripp and Eno mate' we used to exclaim I think Robert Fripp was domiciled in New York at this time during a lengthy Crimson hiatus, and would have certainly had cause to meet and collaborate with many illustrious musicians from both the 'old' and 'new' waves. There are numerous instances of session work he undertook with, amongst others, the...

FRIPP, ROBERT - The League of Gentlemen (1981)

...Fripp was trying to achieve on this release unless you understand some of the influences surrounding him at the time. The League of Gentlemen was put together to play tours in 1980 when Fripp was out to prove he could cut it in the new lean post-punk new wave scene. At this time the scene in New York was a big influence on not only Fripp, but...

FRIPP, ROBERT - I Advance Masked (with Andy Summers) (1982)

...Fripp pioneered in the early 80s then you will probably want to get this album. I actually think this album is probably one of his most successful efforts in this area. The difference with this album is the abscence of a rock beat on almost all of the songs, this really allows the guitars to stand out on their own without a loud beat to...

GILES GILES AND FRIPP - The Cheerful Insanity Of Giles, Giles and Fripp (1968)

The Article has images
2008-05-07 13:06:13 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...Fripp to sustain and the remainder is a mildly diverting but whimsical collection of 60's pop songs If the album has any enduring value, it is probably only as a fascinating document of the types of influences and inputs that would be assimilated from the youthful heir that was later crowned King Crimson Fripp's previous stint in a...

FRIPP, ROBERT - The Gates Of Paradise (1997) [rated 5/5 by Thulëatan]

2008-01-09 18:26:25 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
 
...Fripp's chosen terminology: darkness (hell), and paradise. The former state sees the album visit some of the most disturbing sounds yet produced by Fripp - taking into account his entire career with King Crimson not just Soundscapes - making this yet again a challenging listen, but somehow strangely accessible because of the strong stamps...

FRIPP, ROBERT - God Save the Queen / Under Heavy Manners (1980) [rated 2/5 by Easy Money]

2008-02-03 18:54:41 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
 
...Fripp found himself purposefully trying to distance himself from the grandiose music he had created in the early to mid-70s. Big progressive rock productions were passe and Fripp was trying to attach himself to the more cutting edge art-rock and new wave bands that were emerging in the late 70s. Minimalism was also a big influence during this...

...Fripp himself? - and with some good lyrics, too All in all, a remarkable experience to hear someone break the mold so clearly. Highly recommended, and doubtlessly essential to those interested in its unique style in dealing with LOTS of different players at a time by FlashFirer FRIPP, ROBERT Music Online recommended progarchives.com...

FRIPP AND ENO - Evening Star (1975)

The Article has images
2008-02-04 01:10:45 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...Fripp but I also don't see what anyone gets out of ambient music. The only people I can really recommend this album to are insomniacs. Maybe a much more patient listener will be able to sit back relax, and get something meaningful out of this album but all I got was z's. At most this is a 1.75 effort but that rounds up to a very generous 2...
