       Let's not forget his work on The Roches' albums, and The R. F. String Quartet.

This has probably been discussed many times before, but I'm still unsure: on which tracks exactly does Fripp play on Pawn Hearts? Also, are there guitar parts on the album that are NOT played by Fripp, but Hammill or someone else?

I'm in for The Night Watch as well, although his work on Pawn Hearts leaves listeners speechless and in awe at times Thumbs Up

You've just had a heavy session of electroshock therapy, and you're more relaxed than you've been in weeks.

I agree with you on Fracture and Starless. They are fantastic as well... The starless 'solo' is actually more than two notes. He sits on a single note to great effect before moving on to the next and then the next... It sounds like two notes because it utilizes two different strings to produce the same note.

I know that, but since they are the same note just played on two different strings you could call it a two note guitar solo.Wink


The reason it sounds so good is that two strings are used and the tone of the note varies because of subtle bending of the second string. Using one note on one string is nowhere near as interesting.

Precisely.Smile

Technically, Fripp never played Fracture in the studio but touched it up afterwards. When you think of it, it sounds like Wetton is soloing over Fripp.

Even though Fracture is his best, Plague of Lighthouse Keepers is astonshingly undermentioned. When I first heard it, I knew instantly it was Fripp; it tipped Pawn Hearts over the edge into a masterpiece. So many albums can be ruined by limp endings, thanks to Fripp, not this one.

No one has mentioned The Emperor In His War Room, which is a nice, liquid-y double-tracked excursion.

The solo at the end of the Lizard suite is also very amazing.

HI all,

I really love his solo at the end of God's Monkey on the live Damage album.
It's just tearing it's way through the mix - great!

"St. Elmo's Fire" of course;
"Teenage Wildlife" from Bowie's "Scary Monsters";
"Exiles" from LTIA;
"Providence" from "Red";
"The Night Watch" from SABB
"Wave" from "Damage"
