Robert Fripp Frippertronics 1986

[dayvenkirq]

I like Fripp & Eno, but this video and the music are really irritating. I've heard a better performance by Fripp with Frippertronics.

[jacthesnack]

it annoyed me to watch the video

[frigital]

@jacthesnack well you were tricked... when you watch avideo society sais you forst watch and secondly listen... this is a sound imagination, dont watch... yoyur eyes and time perception wont help here, fripp is all about sound and "abstract" music...

[keroine9]

Fucking amazing.

[rhymeswithgabriel]

i don't care if people go on and on about how revolutionary this album was, or if it was boring, or uninteresting, or whatever. to me, it's one of the most beautiful and mysterious pieces of music i've ever heard and i will forever love it.

[gennargiu]

Great Robert and his frippertronic ( original with two revox a 77 recorder loop) Thanks for your post on youtube

[GrassySound]

I love Frippertronics, and this album is a wonderful representation of same. I prefer the purity of the loops to having the solos included.

Soundscapes, as a whole, don't interest me, because the guitar sounds more like keyboard variations than a guitar. Frippertronics sound very clearly like a guitar, and a wonderous one at that!

[RonansRecordingShow]

This album is one of my favorite things Fripp has ever been involved with.

[kenrubes]

extremely important record...LTPF.

[FerranK68]

@kenrubes Absolute true. Ftronics' concept is an important inflexion point on music history, Like Stravinsky, Schomberg, Cage, ligeti, Xenakis and many others. This Album Is a Classic

[ahitler1000]

for all you die hard Fripp fans check my open playlist , 99% king crimson or fripp, in the many layers he gives us of his soul, russell the wizzard on myspace in Roswell NewMexico,

[florida4x4]

hey kiddo, if you don't "get it" then you don't. end of story. peace!

[gennargiu]

this album is very very wonderful for experimental firsr original frippertronics with analog tape record revox a 77 machine

[timpani112]

This makes me think about computers. It's so digital. The only difference is that I don't get frustrated with this as I get with computers after sitting in front of one for ten minutes.

[54donny]

all you people are in special home surely ,dosed up with tranquilizers? this is total bollocks! i can produce more interesting sounds on my stylophone! GROW UP MORONS,STOP BEING PRETENTIOUS !!!

[theystoleitfromus]

@54donny Funny how of everyone it's you whose typing looks like a train wreck. If that's anything to go by, I have no doubt your music would be very "interesting".

[kosmischesynth]

@54donny grow up and stop being unappreciative of fine music. Robert Fripp is a living legend, you dare dis him. And if you can do this on a stylophone I would like to offer you a record deal.

[MetalTillDeth44]

@54donny understand a thing or two about music then come back and talk, it's ambient music it's supposed to be weird noises, and if you think you can do it better post a video proving so, or don't make such claims.

[54donny]

@MetalTillDeth44 - if you stop taking drugs then maybe you'll see it for what it really is - noise !!!

[MetalTillDeth44]

@54donny if you could look into it deeply you'd get it, but you obviously don't so stfu

[billpeart]

@54donny I respect your opinion on this music. You probably shouldnt watch or listen to this. I dont listen or watch things I dont like.

[54donny]

@billpeart - sorry,it was recommended to me and couldnt believe people find this even mildly entertaining!!! just look at some of the other comments for this (japan314,godot93,metaltilldet­h(!!!)...) - its absurd. as is robert fripps "music". end of subject.

[markuscc]

@54donny I just assumed you were a stupid little kid, at least then you would have had an excuse for being so out of touch. I find more credibility in the opinions of the countless musicians Fripp has influenced than in some random self righteous douchebag on youtube who has no clue.

You are the only pretentious one here. You remind me of those people who say Van Gogh sucks simply because they lack the mental capacity to understand his work.

[billpeart]

@54donny its not really a debatable subject to begin with

[markuscc]

@54donny Go listen to some Nickelback or Disturbed and leave the non artistically retarded people alone you annoying little kid.

[54donny]

@markuscc - oh dear,someone else is narrow minded and/or stupid! at the moment i'm listening to sibelius violin concerto maybe 'disturbed' after? i'm 57 yrs old,listen primarily to carnatic veena music (real improvisation as opposed to fripps feeble attempts!) enjoy most western classical stuff. it never ceases to amaze me how children like you take youtube so seriously! god bless

[markuscc]

@54don I find it quite ironic that even though you are the one who is being narrow minded, stupid, and taking youtube way too seriously, you can somehow manage to turn that around in your head and accuse me of doing it myself for simply calling you out on your stupidity.

Do you happen to have an extra chromosome? Fripp is one of the most influential musicians of our time. You are basically saying that some of the greatest musicians around are wrong and you (who have you influenced?) are right.

[54donny]

@markuscc - oh dear you are upset arent you! what great musicians are wrong?!?! who has fripp influenced? i love van gogh and dozens of other artists,musicians but this tripe really is taking the piss. just be honest with yourself and admit you are only trying to impress your boyfriends

[markuscc]

@54donny It's quite clear that you are just some dumb little kid trolling anyhow. I'm not wasting my time anymore. You are clearly just a little internet troll who is mentally defective because daddy didn't pay enough attention to him.

Nice try though.

[markuscc]

@54donny Fripp has influenced bands like Tool, Genesis, Nirvana, Asia, Rush, Iron Maiden, The Mars Volta, Primus, John Frusciante. Those are all I can think of at the moment. There are countless more. You would have a hard time finding a relevant guitar player in the last 20 years who hasn't been influenced by Fripp.

I know Hendrix was also highly impressed with Fripp.

[Kirke182]

@markuscc Believe it or not, so is B.B. King. I heard him state in an interview that he enjoyed listening to guys like Fripp and Fred Frith.

[DavidKinner]

@markuscc Their first album influenced Yes, Genesis, Gentle Giant, almost all the progressive acts from around the time actually. Dream Theater, Voivod, Porcupine Tree, Black Sabbath. Ozzy sights 21st Century as a big influence. You even hear huge similarities between it, and Iron Man.

[Lightmane321]

@54donny You don't like Fripp? That's fine. So what? I like YES. Do you? If you do, great. If you don't, that's fine too. So what? I don't care that you don't like Fripp any more then I'd care whether or not you liked or disliked anything else that I like. Why should that matter to me? Why 'does' it matter to you?

[54donny]

@Lightmane321 - you're right of course, i much prefer roasted cahew nuts and cider to this - live long and prosper all of you

[Lightmane321]

@54donny cashew nuts and cider? I like both. So... 2 out of 3 then. Not bad. : )

[peel432]

The beginning reminds me of playing Simon. Haha

[FerranK68]

Simply GREAT. Hipnotic first step to "sounsdcapes" Mr Fripp projeKct

[mhouse2001]

This album can be quite meditative because the loop used is approximately one breath long. I've gone into spirals inside my body while listening to this music. I wish he'd made many more albums like this.

[staroft]

If you like this, try Windy & Carl &/or Stars Of The Lid

[japan314]

I have this CD, and have listened to it countless times. It is the trippiest thing ever! Spaceman music from another galaxy!

[carlitoparadise]

Fantastic *****

[godot93]

Fripp is Loki,Momus,and Satan all in one.
