Is Robert Fripp Overrated?

I got it on vinyl. Nothing but a Fripp and Eno science experiment on Frippertronics. I like Frippertronics, but sheesh! Just the same loop going around and around and around and around and around (and around...). Somewhere on the second side things mercifully got a little out of phase at last so that something musical could happen.

I'll have to look around for the receipt.

In spite of this, I'm with those who think that Fripp is NOT overrated.

yeah Fripp's solo albums never really clicked with me. Fripp & Eno, on the other hand though....

no 

I'd rather be pussy licking than pussy footing...

Cool. I love that Madvillain cd, i'll check the other two out!  :-)

I've seen that video of Scott preparing his album Bish Bosch. Some guy was playing a bowl of marbles.

 Today is simply legen-wait for it ...

Fair enough. I'm not an avid hip-hop fan. I'm very selective with what I like: De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, Beastie Boys, a lot of French rap (IAM, NTM, Saian Supa Crew, Fonky Family, MC Solaar, et al), Wu Tang Clan, and British stuff like Massive Attack, Tricky - and stuff like Madlib and DJ Shadow... Like I said, for the most part I lost interest in rap for over a decade, till Kanye.

is this referring to me?


also sorry to do this dude^ but as an avid hip-hop fan I have to say I hate Kanye West and his music. There's a lot of hip-hop musicians who experiment and push boundaries and try new things and innovate. West is not one of them.

Don't Sl*g West's music (although his personality's fair game :-); it's what I've mainly been listening to the past few months. I lost interest in hip-hop years a go, but his music's reeled me back in. It made sense for him to sample "Schizoid Man" on MY BEAUTIFUL DARK TWISTED FANTASY, since that whole album is a kind of prog rap album in a way (there's even a guitar solo, and other extended sequences). He's been trying to open up hip-hop's influences even wider, and succeeding...
