Any Robert Fripp/Prog rock fans?

The only reason "Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman and Howe" (4 of 5 "classic" Yes members) weren't called "Yes" was because Chris Squire had the rights to the name and was going to tour as "Yes", but it didn't happen.

Some of the history of this band is unfortunate with missed opportunites.  Now that Anderson is out of the band, he has a new solo album out now as well.

What book was this in? I have a printed copy that came with the King Crimson box set Frame by Frame.

KING CRIMSON RULES !!!!

Zardoz, ever see them? I only got to see them twice, once as ProjeKct Two and once as Crimson. Incredible shows, both of them! Fripp had this huge rack of electronics, and about a dozen foot pedals circling his bar stool. He would hit the string, and you could count to three before the sound made it out through the speakers! I stood about eight feet away from him, and the sound from that amazing guitar literally frightened me. It was so loud and ominous. Very emotional music.

No I never Had the Chance to see them I went to alot of good concerts back in the day but never King Crimson. But Still have 6 or 7 vinyl and about 8 CD's of their music one of my first progressive bands I ever bought and been hooked ever since . They are not for everybody but to the ones that really get it .   This band really helped shap future progressive's and Metal. They were key in all this, Amazing!!!      Fripp has been doing work with one of my favorite bands Porcupine Tree you might want to give them a listen I did and now I have over 50 CD's of their music and saw them twice already fantastic band that also loved king crimson..

Been getting into Porcupine Tree.  Picked up In Absentia and I find myself being pulled by it every now and then.  Wilson recently went over some of the back catalogue for King Crimson and worked on the masters.

I've heard *of* porcupine Tree but have never heard them. I have several No-Man cd's and like them a lot. Fripp plays on one of those as well.

I'd really recommend In Absentia but that is the only one I know.  I would love to hear what others would recommend.

[Zardoz]

Out of the all the Porcupine Tree albums I would recommend:

The Sky Moves Sideways
Up the Downstair
Staircase infinities
Signify
Lightbulb Sun
Deadwing


I'm one of their biggest fans and these are some of my favorites in more of a Progressive , Floydish, Vein!!

Had to play In Absentia again this morning after this thread.  Will take this list with my next time I go.  Thanks, Zardoz.
