Yeah.. these pandemic videos have been more than a little surprising for a guy who has such an uptight reputation. (though props for remaining seated!)

I reckon he'd do anything Toyah wanted him to. Mind, with a figure like hers at 63 you can't really blame him.

Nice to see some are...hanging in there...amid the pandemic.

I've always thought Toyah's "Neon Womb" is a great cut. She's always been really beautiful.

I own the record from the Toyah / Fripp project Sunday All Over the World, but it leaves me cold. Maybe I should revisit it. This is the s/t opener:



Love this lesser discussed track from their 80's run, "Dig Me":



Discipline is every bit as good as the Wetton records, IMO, though completely different. Belew ranges from goofy to corny a lot of the time on their 80's stuff, but it mostly works. What's not to like on "Indiscipline"?



The main instrumental section is a juggernaut.

This is a great record that I've never actually had. At this point I don't need a copy, but it's cool they did it.



OK, this is great.

LOL. If that's what their Sundays are like they must be doing it right.

King Crimson is my favorite band ever. Seeing them at the Vic years ago was by fare the greatest concert experience of my life. Also, if I'm willing to go to Ravinia in August and sit on the lawn I must be obsessed. I will say though that I don’t find my self listening to Lizard or Islands often. “Impaled on nails of ice!”, yikes. The high watermark of their iterations for me is the line up on Discipline, Beat, and Three of a Perfect Pair. I mean I hate to sound like a pandering fuck but how do you even come up with shit that good. I would highly recommend the Absent Lovers live album because the version of Waiting Man on it is amazing.

Better than this one?

I don't really remember much of the rest of the album, but "Cirkus", off of Lizard, is a jam:
