Our Take

Robert Fripp, the legendary guitarist of King Crimson fame, has returned with a reissue of his 1980 experimental album, "God Save The Queen / Under Heavy Manners". And let me tell you, this record is anything but heavy manners.

Fripp's ethereal guitar work on "God Save The Queen" is truly a sonic journey, taking the listener through atmospheric landscapes and mind-bending soundscapes. The title track, in particular, is a masterclass in avant-garde guitar playing, with Fripp's signature style shining through every note.

On the flip side, "Under Heavy Manners" is a more rhythmic affair, with Fripp exploring the darker, more industrial side of his musical palette. The track "The Zero of the Signified" is a prime example of this, with its pulsating beats and eerie atmospherics creating a sense of unease that is both thrilling and unsettling.

Overall, "God Save The Queen / Under Heavy Manners" is a testament to Fripp's vision and creativity as a musician. This reissue is a must-have for any fans of experimental music, and a reminder of why Fripp is considered one of the greatest guitarists of all time. So sit back, relax, and let Robert Fripp take you on a wild ride through the sonic landscape – you won't regret it.
