Fripp at his usual world class genius. He is probably the best composer of modern era music. People for generations will be hearing his compositions and marveling at their complexity. The way we listen to Mozart and understand his drive for music like no other, so will be the legacy of this English Gentleman. Very much like Steve Hackett covering the realm of progressive rock, or the compositions of Ravel, we were alive to witness music taken to new heights. Robert Fripp invented something called "new standard tuning" for guitar opening new progressions and new pathways to composition. Instead of accepted E.A.D.G.B.E., He introduced C.G.D.A.B.G. You have to use special strings like Ernie Ball "Not Even Slinky" which are somewhat thicker to tune, but it really is interesting. I was in attendance when he first showed us something called "Frippertronics" using tape loops to create soundscapes, and that was back in 1979. If you are not familiar with his work, go back to King Crimson and then follow his progression over the years. I might add that he is the "musicians musician" and probably not easy for the usual rock and roll audiences of our time, but if you are serious about music, investigate the genious of Robert Fripp.Read full review
