Average Rating: 
Rating:  - The Crimson Police
As you'd expect from the guitarists from King Crimson and The Police, "I Advance Masked" sounds like a collison of instrumentals that both bands recorded (particularly the 80's version of King Crimson with Adrian Belew, Tony Levin and Bill Brufford aiding and abetting Fripp). Released in 1982, there are elements of Fripp and Summer's approach with their popular bands sprinkled throughout the music.
The polyrhythmic structured style of playing that Summers used in The Police provides ... Read More
Rating:  - An Endearing Collaboration
I recently ponied up for the remastered CD of this fascinating & decidedly uncommercial collaboration between two of the great unsung guitar heroes of the pop/punk phase of the 1980s. And while it's disappointing on one hand that no bonus tracks of unreleased material/alternate takes of the compositions were included (and most likely exist somewhere in Mr. Fripp's formidable library of tapes) it is a genuine pleasure to finally have this vastly under-rated little album available on CD. I would ... Read More
Rating: - Prelude to the new King Crimson
This album was released in 1981 and is 38 minutes long.
This album was recorded just before Robert Fripp created the next version of King Crimson with Adrian Belew and Tony Levin, with Bill Buford returning, after Fripp thought the world was going to end and broke up the band in 1975.
Much of this album sounds a lot like what will appear on the next three King Crimson albums, Discipline, Beat and Three of a Perfect Pair.
But, it isn't all King Crimson sounding. ... Read More
Rating: - No "YAWN" here...Classic Frippian and Summerian for sure!
Wow. This is a lovely recording of some extremely Frippian Prog. You can definately hear Andy Summers' influences in the subtext. Yes, you have to be sort of predisposed to early 80's Experimental and Prog to appreciate this unit. If you listen to Fripp's King Crimson or any Andy Summers solo stuff, this will satisfy your need for more. Fripp's "Crafy" guitar style shows up here and the intricracies abound. Definately for the Prog efficianado and the 80's-style ambient lover.
Rating:  - :-Yawn-:
I bought a vynil copy of this album at a local used-record store not knowing what to expect. Since it was from 1982, I guessed that it would have a lot of the minimalist/contrapunctal type stuff that Fripp was into in that period. It does, but there doesn't seem to be very much variety in the pieces. In fact, the whole album seems to drag along with no real idea of it's own purpose. I think Fripp recorded this simply because he was in the studio with Summers. I strongly doubt that some of the pieces were ... Read More
