Robert Fripp - Exposure - Fourth Edition (Steven Wilson Mix) - VINYL LP

Double 200gm vinyl LP pressing. Consists of the original 1979 on LP1, while LP2 presents the 2006 third edition on vinyl for the first time. The 2006 'third edition' of the album will be available on vinyl for the first time. The album has been mastered by Jason Mitchell at LOUD mastering from masters approved by Robert Fripp. The term 'classic album' has been devalued somewhat through overuse, but if ever an album has proved worthy of the term it's Robert Fripp's 1979 solo debut Exposure. An invitation from David Bowie and Brian Eno in July 1977 resulted in his appearance as lead guitarist on Heroes, David Bowie's 2nd 1977 album from his own golden year and marked Fripp's return to full time musician. Recorded at the Record Plant in New York, Exposure was originally conceived as part of a trilogy alongside Daryl Hall's Sacred Songs and Peter Gabriel's 2nd solo album (both Fripp produced). Exposure was delayed from it's scheduled 1978 date by RCA's postponement of the of the Hall album (that remained unissued until 1980) and Hall's then manager's insistence that some of his vocals be removed from the album. When the album finally appeared in 1979, it's mixture of songs, singers, instrumentals, snatches of speech, audio-vérité sound collages - all linked by an autobiographical/diary approach - presented a very different musician from that of the initial King Crimson period 1969-74. Even in a period when the wheel - as represented by a vinyl album - seemed to be reinvented on a routine basis, a time when Inchexpect the unexpectedInch was the best approach to any number of then new or current recordings, Exposure stood apart. It still does.

SCOWL is a band that sounds exactly like their name implies. Venomous, fierce, antagonistic. A sneer not to be crossed. Over the last five years, the Santa Cruz, California, band has firmly planted their flag in the hardcore scene with their vicious sound and ripping live show, sharing stages around the world with Circle Jerks, Touché Amoré, and Limp Bizkit, and filling slots at prominent festivals like Coachella, Sick New World, and Reading and Leeds. But with their new album, Are We All Angels (Dead Oceans), SCOWL is aiming to funnel all that aggression through a more expansive version of themselves.Much of Are We All Angels grapples with SCOWL's newfound place in the hardcore scene, a community which has both embraced the band and made them something of a lightning rod over the past few years. Standout single InchNot Hell, Not HeavenInch outright rejects the narratives cast onto them by outsiders. InchIt's about feeling victimized and being a victim, but not wanting to identify with being a victim,Inch explains vocalist Kat Moss. InchIt's trying to find grace in the fact that I have my power. I live in my reality. You have to deal with whatever you're dealing with, and it ain't working for me.Inch The band breaks from a sense of disassociation to seek deeper connections on InchFantasy.Inch InchIt's incredibly challenging to try to balance my love for the scene while also feeling, in some spaces, extremely alienated and hated,Inch Moss says. Inch'Fantasy' is about feeling like I don't know how to connect with these people anymore, because I have shelled myself away so hard.Inch The album ends in a philosophical place on the closing, titular track, InchAre We All Angels,Inch asking questions like, InchIs this all there is?Inch and ultimately putting it on the listener to decide. InchIt's about the personal struggle between good and evil. It doesn't matter how 'good'
