Robert Fripp - God Save the Queen/Under Heavy Manners [1980] - Re-Re Post

Every time I re--post this album it gets taken down very quickly. Trying again for those who missed out the first couple of times around..... enjoy!

let's try this again!

God Save the Queen/Under Heavy Manners [1980] 

My original post of this got wonky and the link was fucked up somehow.... and since this is such an amazing album I thought it worthy of a re-post tonight. The first three tracks are instrumental and have an ambient vibe with full on looped Frippertronics guitar creating the mood. Then you get to the last two tracks, my favorite of them all. "Under Heavy Manners" which features a frenetic David Byrne on vocals has kind of a no-wave feel to it and the last track "The Zero of the Signified" which is a driving kraut-like disco rocker. If you don't already have this it's a must. Highly highly recommended!

From Wikipedia: "The album largely consists of Frippertronics, overlaid notes on distorted guitar fed through a very long delay building up a heavily layered effect, much of the work being performed by improvisation. On this album, the effect was modified in what Fripp described as "Discotronics", adding a solid drum beat to create a dancier sound. The guitar loops for the five tracks were recorded live in concert during 1979, with drum and bass parts added later that year by Buster Jones (bass) and Paul Duskin (drums)."
