"With the first King Crimson album, Fripp and his band-mates simultaneously invented art-rock and heavy metal. One could stop there but Fripp didn't. His collaborations with Eno, various King Crimson supergroup resurrections of the early 1980s (post-punk prog rock?), and oddly frustrating but at times deeply beautiful solo works were so influential and so important to the history of the music we listen to, that if any of this is news to you, I don't know what to tell you, and I'm not sure what we have to say to each other. This piece is a good example of the masturbatory solipsism Fripp could fall into on solo projects. In spite of what I just said, it works. A maddening man all around. "
