Summary: Early Fripp

Yea Fripp!
For some truly DIFFERENT and amazing Robert Fripp, check out ``The Cheerful
Insanity of Giles, Giles and Fripp'' - a pre-Crimson (1968?) album.  It has
some of the most seductively simple melodies Fripp ever wrote couching
entirely outrageous lyrics, as well as several unbelievable guitar solos.
The whole record is clearly in the middle-60's vein, but even then Fripp
shone through as a compositional and musical genius.  His `power through
understatement' musical philosophy is clearer on this record than any
other I've heard, maybe because the surface simplicity of the music lulls
you into a false sense of security, so when he hits you you FEEL it.
Anyway, enough pontificating.  The record is great - get it, you'll love it.
