After King Crimson disbanded in 1974, Robert Fripp took a break from the public eye. However, his move to New York in 1978 marked his return as a producer, solo artist, and collaborator with notable musicians such as Daryl Hall, Debbie Harry, Peter Gabriel, and David Bowie. Fripp released his first solo album, Exposure, in 1979, followed by two more solo records and the formation of The League Of Gentlemen in 1980. This eventually led to the reformation of King Crimson in 1981.
Exposure, Fripp's 1979 solo debut, is often regarded as a classic album. It came about through an invitation from David Bowie and Brian Eno, resulting in Fripp's appearance as the lead guitarist on Bowie's album Heroes. The album was originally conceived as part of a trilogy along with Daryl Hall's Sacred Songs and Peter Gabriel's second solo album, both of which were produced by Fripp.
Exposure faced delays in its release due to RCA postponing the release of Hall's album and Hall's manager insisting on removing some of his vocals from Exposure. When the album finally came out in 1979, it showcased a different side of Fripp compared to his earlier work with King Crimson. It featured a mix of songs, instrumentals, speech snippets, and sound collages, all tied together by an autobiographical/diary-like approach. Even amidst a period of innovative vinyl albums, Exposure stood out as a unique and captivating record.
Featuring contributions from: Barry Andrews, Phil Collins, Brian Eno, Peter Gabriel, Daryl Hall, Peter Hammill, Tony Levin, Jerry Marotta, Sid McGinnis, Terre Roche and Narada Michael Walden.

Breathless: The greatest King Crimson song never recorded
Lol!
Funnily enough King Crimson played this live in their latest lineup lol
@@GenericFunny I'd known about the Tony Levin with Stick Men version, yes, but until this very moment didn't know KC ever actually performed it live. Though the point was maybe a little vague - it's the single most KC sounding Fripp solo offering.
@@DanMcOgden1 That’s most likely the reason they chose this song from the album, you can hear it on Meltdown: Live in Mexico City, it wasn’t actually played in this concert, but instead from their 2018 European tour
That's what I thought upon hearing. Sounds like it could have been on Red.
how is this not better known. my all time favorite fripp track. those drums, that bass... seriously, what's going on? that middle section... those frippertronics... this should an all-time classic.
Amongst the "Crimsinati" it definitely is
Fripp is such the legend.
Been listening to KC for over a decade and some how didn't know this album existed. I'm honestly glad I get to listen to this for the first time right now! This song is simply incredible, it's like a sequel to Red, one of my favorite King Crimson songs.
I saw KC in 81 after this album came out and wow. The great Adrian Belew that played with a lot of my favorite bands. But Fripp stole the show in my eyes, he sat off to the side of the stage, out of the spotlight, sitting on a stool, in the dark, and you could see his shadow thrashing back and forth with the guitar whipping when he played then the tune was over and all the lights came on haha. I am very glad I was able to see this.
Respect to the Frippmeister........And mrs Frippmeister x
Only Tony Levin could channel John Wetton's playing and tone while remaining so unmistakably himself. What a genius.
A track in perfect King Crimson style 💫
talking heads took king crimsom too.
@@m0rpheus99 yes.
I've always referred to this as "The Greatest King Crimson song never recorded", though just today found out there is 1 live KC performance from the European leg of their tour in 2018 that was released in "Meltdown".
Thank You Mr. Fripp
Some of Bob's best stuff...
Narada Micheal Walden’s drumming on this track is terrifying, it just adds to the building frenzy of the piece, and this mix is just perfect xxxxx
Such a beast in 7/4 (and several other undetermined time signatures on that track)!
It blew me away in 1979 and still does now, life giving music🙂@@DanMcOgden1
The transpositions in Fripp's music are always so interesting. I try to do the same thing and it never sounds as good! This track is a really good example to me of the tension this creates.
Developmentally so valuable.
Thank you Mr. Fripp.
Nightmare: You are in some fabric, and your head is being smashed to a pulp. Love it. You wake up and it repeats!
Unique and captivating indeed!
Oh wow, this is the original mix, this is brilliant, love it xxxxx
Narada Micheal Walden was probably the only drummer who could "replace" Bill Bruford on this track. Just masterfull!
I remember back then referring to him as "Bruford only with chops!!" This is basically the song "Red" with a little more complexity and some phenomenally powerful drumming. Narada was one of the all-time greatest fusion/prog drummers...and could write his ASS off..."Sophie" from Wired is genius!! And "Marching Powder" from Tommy Bolin's Teaser?? YIKES!!! Tommy and Narada ripping it up putting Mahavishnu to shame!!
Wow!
Capolavoro immortale!!!❤
Many a drummer had a hard enough time trying to hold it down in 7/4 while adding those huge fills before the middle section time signature changes short circuited their brains completely.
Perhaps a foretaste of the 90s incarnation?

Red 2.0
Narada
Marotta Jerry
@@silvandbn81 This particular track features Narada
@@paligap1495 you're right! Sorry :-)
@@silvandbn81 No Problem - lotta great drummers on this album!
