For me, "Frippertronics" remain one of the most enchanting forms of music to this day. I first heard Let the Power Fall long long ago, when the album was still pretty 'young'. Robert Fripp creates these pieces so well.
These were the offers of this ancient wild world: live, share, take care, have fun and live together. Unfortunately, we were so focused on the change of era that we did not have the time or the awareness to organize us. We looked at the world as a rocket in the sky and gave caution to operettas’ musicians to free us. However the spirit is still there, waiting to be recognized and conscious again and again until it is everywhere in elevation to the Paradise of Utopians and other unconscious dreamers🎼🎼🎼🎼 besides, I like the crackle of vinyl in the depths of the woods!

In th 90s i was playing with the "Chase" function of the roland D50 and recording it on tape : i didn't know at this time that Robert Fripp did this kind of music already ... Robert, i woul like to play music with you, as an humble child. Really ♥
I had not long bought Exposure and really liked it, not least for hints of a possible return of King Crimson, with Breathless being the most Crimsonesque, when this album came out with the first side of Frippertronics being my favourite, I was less keen on the track with the David Byrne vocals but Zero of the Signified was rather hypnotic. I did become a bit obsessed with Robert Fripp at this time, so when Let the Power Fall and The League of Gentlemen came out in 1981 I was right there to get them on their release. There was a definite sense that Robert Fripp was building up to something bigger and the announcement of his new band, Discipline, sounded exciting, not least for the inclusion of former KC drummer Bill Bruford, hot bass/stick player Tony Levin and red hot guitarist Adrian Belew, who was playing with all the coolest people at the time. When that band became the new King Crimson expectations were sky hight and the album, Discipline, delivered on those high hopes. As I write the expectation that King Crimson has played its last gig has been generally accepted, following RF’s cryptic announcement on social media, I like to reflect back on that 1980/81 period when RF was doing such interesting work and all that great work was still to come. I was lucky enough to see the 7 and 8 piece KC live, with the three drummers front line, two of the best gigs I have ever been to.
wow I absolutely could have written this comment myself, word for word, every aspect of it. I'm guessing McZorro0101 is somewhere in the sixth decade of his life. Music was so NEW at this point and RF was, IMO, leading the way. The only thing I would add is a story about driving from Alabama to Atlanta Ga to see the band play in what was the Agora Ballroom at the time. Left on a whim believing I could grab tickets there. Well I don't have to tell you that it didn't happen and the dream of seeing Robert, Adrian, Bill and Tony crumbled...devastated, the drive back was horrible. Oh well lesson learned. Also I liked Byrne's contribution to Under Heavy Manners (oh Urizrel !, was it ?)
Robert Fripp : guitars, Frippertronics Busta Jones : bass on Under Heavy Manners and The Zero of the Signified Paul Duskins : drums on Under Heavy Manners and The Zero of the Signified Absalm el Habib (a.k.a David Byrne) : singer on Under Heavy Manners
I think one of the things that makes this so appealing to me as opposed to modern ambient music is that this is just bare, and doesn’t rely on $700 reverb pedals drowning everything in a huge wash of particle and pitch-shifting reverbs. Most people doing ambient with those reverbs seem to just rely on the effects doing the work, rather than composition.
@@darwinsaye or. cheaper still, one Boss DD-7 in its 5600 msec "double mode" - but it won't have tape saturation, wow/flutter, noise or natural hi-cut, so that's where the $700 stuff comes in))
So novel and innovative at the time, and what a world of imagination spawned by sound on sound/looping ever since! It is a unique dimension some experimental musician friends and myself also dabbled in late 70s-80s with the Echoplex tape when we shortened them to 10 seconds or so, enabling live overdubbing.. now, looping is everywhere.. I encourage every musician to explore it if you haven't already...it will open doors you didn't know were there 👽
Fripp a modifié d'une manière ou d'une autre, par inadvertance et de manière inattendue, les critères d'évaluation de tous types de musiciens, a nettoyé l'iconostase sonore mondiale pour forcer les musiciens qui se respectent à mesurer leurs talents et de manière irréversible leur capacité à surprendre leur environnement 🤠🥸

Meandering on autopilot. Give me, say, Tangrine Dream´s Phaedra any day over this.. It had the spark, the excitement this so sorely lacks.. and I´ve listened to it at the the same time with "Red", and all older KC albums, in early 70s .. But yeah, we´ve all got to pay the bills ;)

I like the way Byrne sings:
Sunder here, Navy Man!
I just found a mint condition vinyl copy, brilliant ❤

Ahhhh. Vinyl. Love the little clicks!
Fripp and Eno....magic.
Eno wasn't involved with this album.
Bought the vinyl about 40 years ago. A fan of frippertronics myself.
Just ordered this one CD, didn’t even know it was available. I’m the happiest person on planet earth right now
Can I ask where you found it. I've been looking for years.
wow...only...WOW. (electric) guitar on another level.- In the first two, three songs i ebven can´t hear and imagine the guitare.
And so minimalistic.

Experimentation has never been this outlandish and exciting to me. I am so blessed to have discovered Fripp and all of the others he has worked with.
Plenty of works...
No Pussyfooting changed the way I listened to music.
Robert Fripp : guitars, Frippertronics
Busta Jones : bass on Under Heavy Manners and The Zero of the Signified
Paul Duskins : drums on Under Heavy Manners and The Zero of the Signified
Absalm el Habib (a.k.a David Byrne) : singer on Under Heavy Manners

funny that the $700 is just about the sum that those two Revox reel-to-reel recorders will set you back
@@VolodyaVolodenka1981 Yeah, but what Fripp is doing with them is more akin to what can be done now with two $140 Boss RC-1 loop pedals.

This album is simply amazing. Thank you so much!
Thank you !
muchas gracias por colgarlo
Robert Fripp, thank you for exploring the guitar as deeply as do, and letting me in
haven't had a turntable in years, good to hear this again.
So novel and innovative at the time, and what a world of imagination spawned by sound on sound/looping ever since!

Great stuff. I completely missed it at the time. (Sounds like a David Byrne vocal in there. Very tasteful, of course.)
It most certainly is his vocals!
THANK -YOU .

Half the time I don't know if my stereo equipment is messing up or not lol. LOVE IT!

Interesting and unique music

Thank you so much for sharing this gorgeous record.
I don't think this is "experimental". Just "beautiful" .
フリッパートロニクスは、私にとってまさしく驚異だった。
pure condensed magic
ただ今はエレクトロニクス歌舞伎の時代。
Hah something new (to me) AWESOME
wow!
Frippertronics end.
ただミスターフリップ、フリッパートロニクスは、今でも全然旧く無いよ。
in the last two tracks, were the frippertonic recorded first? or the rythm section was? or were they recorded together?

i like ambient music, but sorry, this is just boring
😇
can't believe this guy could actually make good music
You can see why his music is so popular and why we hear so much of it on the radio. 😏🤔🫤🥴
It's not music, it's an experiment in sound.
