I thought, I was listening sounds from the outer space when I heard this album ever first from an East-Berlin radio station in 1980. This was a historic moment. This kind of sound was that impressive, that I got an Eno-Fripp fanatic, without knowing anything and unable to obtain any works about them in the russian occupied zone. So, the words of the female radio announcer were glued into my head: "This was 'From Tape - For Tape' by and with - Robert Fripp". As I entered '81 the american sector, this vinyl record was one of the first I owned - and it was not easy to get, when I recall.
@@vodevshYes. There was a wall. We took the wall down. Putin didn’t like that we took the wall down. I’m glad that you didn’t even know about it. Long may such walls be gone. Oh. Wait. No. Let’s build one to stop Russian invasion of sovereign nations. They can keep that one if they want 👌
17 Years old, GF took me to see this CMU Theatre Senior who'd recently shaved his head out of protest against hair styles/vanity. He played Mel Torme's Fascinatin' Rhythm - then ... He played this. Mind = Blown.
One glance at the album cover reveals that he recorded this music live at Tower Records, Berkeley in the summer of 1979. I was in that record shop when he did it, too. Mr Fripp, his Gibson guitar and a modified reel-to-reel tape recorder set to do tapeloops. He built up the sonic patterns layer by layer as you can hear. What is missing are the breathtakingly beautiful guitar solos he did over the now completed tapestry.
I saw a Frippertronics demo at a Peaches location in '79, have a signed copy of the Exposure Album, amongst the less than 30 people blessed to be there.
I bought this back in 1983. masterful; especially coupled with Let the Power Fall. Extraordinary music for working and making. let it wash through the space and allow yourself to listen to it while at various tasks.
i got the original US version with written in the vinyl, as a graffiti, by the hand of fripp himself "New music in not a style, it is a quality" in one side, and "All succumbs to the face of persistence" no as the one in the video very rare
In 1980 the most beautiful girl I've ever known was working in a cool modern stereophonics shop off of Hwy 1 (Youree Dr) which for example introduced me to my first CD (compact disc) and she would play this LP of Mister Robert Fripp and I realized her IQ was of a uniqueness I will never get over.
This has the sides flipped. "Under Heavy Manners" has David Byrne singing. Side one: God Save The Queen consists of 3 tracks of solo Fripp & his Frippertonics (sort of a tape loop - consists of two Revox reel to reels linked together that feeds back the signal that eventually decays/degrades as more notes are played over it). This technique builds up a wall of sound that can be gorgeous or scary (take a listen to "Index Of Metals" on Evening Star). Let The Power Fall is a continuation, all culled from his 1979 tour performances. Side two: Under Heavy Manners Fripp called Discotronics "as that musical experience resulting at the interstice of Frippertronics and disco." Buster "Busta Cherry" Jones adds bass & Paul Duskin drums. Absalm el Habib (er that's David Byrne folks) contributes vocals to the first track "Under Heavy Manners". Fripp's lyrics are a list of "isms" with a few cries of "Urizel O Urizel" and the hilarious interjection "Sunder Here Navy Man". The second track "The Zero Of The Signified" has no vocals. Can't understand why these weren't dancefloor hits!
I really think it’s about time that this album and the follow up, “1984” were released on cd so more people could listen to these stunning performances.
great driving music literally. Was driving a car with a tape deck recently and this was a tape I had gotten from a friend getting rid of all his tapes. Stuck it in and listened to "Under Heavy Manners" and "Zero of the Signified" over and over. Some of the best car driving music
I had this album and Exposure. Saw him play at the "Bear's Lair" on the UC Berkeley campus at about this time. Same set up. He came in the front door with everyone else, looking rather happy.
I saw a Frippertronics show at Princeton University. When we arrived, maybe 15 minutes before they opened the doors, he was playing in the Auditorium. We watched him through the windows. You could hear it quite clearly from outside. Then they opened the doors, and he was still playing, for maybe 10 minutes more. Then he went backstage and came out again when the show officially started. The 17-year-old me found this quite remarkable. I guess at that time he was interested in playing with the conventions of live shows. Peter Gabriel around that time sometimes started shows by being out with the people in the front of the crowd, disguised so people would not recognize him. Then when the music started, he would jump up on the stage.
This LP was Fripp’s attempt at what he called “Discotronics”; would love to have seen this played in discos back then - picture a segue from Stayin Alive to Hot Stuff to the Zero of the Signified/Under Heavy Manners!
thanks for posting!! a huge fripp (and byrne) fan and never heard this all the way through for some reason. delightful. 80's crimson now makes even more sense with this in between exposure and discipline.
many years ago I emailed his supposed DGM site to inquire about the Vancouver tapes used on ' Let the Power Fall ' - he played on three nights and used material from the 1st & 3rd on the album. My friends and I attended the 2nd... I would very much like to have all 3 nights!
'God Save the Queen' was the backing track he soloed over when debuting Frippertronics on the "Midnight Special" TV program in 1979, starting at roughly 2 minutes in.
The bass/drum groove on the “Under Heavy Manners” Discotronics piece sounds very much like the rhythm section track on Isaac Hayes’ “Don’t Let Go” single, which was recorded/released around the same time (late ‘79-early ‘80); nice twangy-flangy funk bass
I know this feom rhe onset and it always fascinated me. It is so hypnotic. I was so glad on noticing, for instance, his influence in Peter Gabriel's second album.
I’m constantly amazed by this incredible piece of artwork. I love it so much. Just beautiful. Thank you for sharing and thank you Mr Fripp for your beautiful music
I wonder why Fripp hasn't re-issued any of his inter-Crimson albums except for Exposure (e.g. this album, Let the Power Fall, League of Gentlemen). Does he not like those albums? I know I would buy them!
Let the Power Fall is available? Where? That would be good to have! I've seen God Save the King, but that's on Amazon for about $50, and I just want League of Gentlemen songs. Oh well, I have the LPs.
@@SemenSonyah This is a good while back but it should be on the Net somewhere, I reckon, I think it was a UK guitar magazine (Guitarist maybe?) but the interviewer was obviously a fan of this part of his work and Fripp was sort of embarrassed to be talking about it and wanted to quickly move on, as it were…
You can hear Talking Heads, Zappa, Eno, Bowie and all the amazing history of Fripp. Utter guitar and compositional genius. He played with best for a reason. I don't think I'm pushing it by saying his hypnotic repetition of riffs has to recognised by the likes of Philip Glass....
The verdict according to progarchives: Good, but non-essential. My opinion: Man, did I have a blast with this record way back when! I had been playing guitar for just a few months when first hearing this. The unprecedented combination of eerie soundscapes and highly energetic performance absolutely blew me away. The Zero of the Signified 5:15 - with it's aggressively driving rhythm, mind bogglingly insistent repetitive percussive guitar motives (also featuring prominently on KC's Discipline), contrasting atmospheric swirls and impressive layering - to me was and remains the highlight of this record. Thanks for putting this up, great to hear again, inspirational stuff! Nice vinyl crackle in the outro btw :)
GSTQ: the discipline, muscle required here astounds me. I've seen him do something like this in 1984 or thereabouts. (Reminds me that I've seen Jon McEntire do something similar on vibes for a good long time.) Proto-IDM space travel.
I adore this album since its publishing, it’s a musical landmark and (shame on apple) it’s not proposed on i Tunes, as like another masterpiece as « The League of gentlemen » (thanks God in some open minded shops it can be ordered )
"I am resplendent in divergence" intones Byrne. I find that truly fascinating as it coincides with a special interest of mine and his! Did he know already? Neurodivergence wasn't a thing then. Prefiguration? Great music of course.
The impression of reading Alice in Wonderland / On the Other Side of the Mirror with my ears ... Same perceptions, same understandings and encodings ... With great and rare intelligence, each listening is a constantly renewed state of fullness❤
First time hearing this and love it from the first song.... Is that David Byrne on vocal. I know Robert Fripp from seeing him at Futurama Fest 2 with League of Gentlemen in 1980. And have started listening to his back catalogue after watching the bizarre and wonderful Sunday Lunch videos. This is another timeless album like The League of Gentlemen. Is 'Punk Prog' a thing?????
Does anyone know why this album has never seen a release on CD? It remains a real Fripp favourite for me. I am aware that Under Heavy Manners was released on the God Save The King Cd with trans from League of Gentlemen, but as far as I know the frippertronics pieces have never seen the light of day since the original album.
Okay, which of us has always thought of Side A as being the 'first' side, and Side One being the first side? Mr Fripp has been credited with having the longest fade-out ever, on "The Zero of the Signified". And an album liner note said that the fast staccato picking that goes through "Zero" was re-recorded without looping because "the tape broke". Splendid album.
As I recall, regarding 'Zero' , the LP inner sleeve notes read that "the first take broke down" after about six minutes, which I always took to mean that he made a mistake in the cross-picking overdub, i.e. absolutely nothing to do with the tape breaking.
Some obnoxious dosage of DXM....i think either 600 or 900 mg and marc maron's special on netflix....if it was 900 it occurred right before 36 hours of out of body experience hallucinations.
LOL. You can buy it at your local supermarket. It's the ingredient in cough syrup that is abused.....BUT it is NOT a cheap drug my any means. I have tripped much harder on it than lsd. Some safety concerns: if purchasing, make sure dxm is the only active ingredient. Acetaminophen and a few others WILL KILL YOU if they are present. Geaufinosen is harmless but you may puke. Many people DO NOT enjoy this drug at all. It isn't a seratonigenic hallucinogen like lsd. It is a dissassociative like ketamine or pcp.....the trip is very weird and different and some find it unpleasant even if they enjoy lsd. It works by temporarily shutting down the ndma receptors in your brain (which are the part that regulates and senses yourself and behavior) so you feel very detached from the world around you and from yourself (thus the drunken feeling in low dosages and out of body experiences in high).....its like tripping inside yourself. It also gives intense closed eye visuals but no open eyed ones. The biggest affect besides dissassociation is a feeling of increased and profound awareness and understanding of the world and yourself. The drug is relatively harmless (less safe than ketamine, lsd, weed, but FAR more safe than pcp or any stimulant or depressant.) but there is some scientific evidence that MASSIVE abuse of it regularly in large quantities can lead to a type of brain damage called olney's legions or holes in the ndma part of the brain. These have been shown to result from pcp use in humans and dxm use in rats (but not humans) though the rats were given FUCKING ABSURD doses. Best case scenario it's not possible in humans and rarely people doing it hard get mild and temporary neurotransmitter deficiency. Worst case scenario is that all or most people who do it are getting permanent damage every time....the truth is almost certainly in the middle towards the former but its not known. Personally, I feel absolutely fine after years of infrequent use though sometimes I have fealt a little weird for a few days. Best to not take it often with AT LEAST one week (the amount of time it takes your brain to cool off and restore balance) between trips, keep dosages reasonable, or if you can find it, use ketamine for this kind of trip instead. Personally I much prefer ketamine. Sorry for wall of text and possible spelling errors but i hope it was informative.
Resplendent in divergence .. .. .. The peak, the pyramidic, the apex. The blind man turning somersaults on the edge of a spinning coin, laughing, inexorably laughing .. ..
J'ai buzzé lorsque j'ai écouté ce disque la première fois. Ensuite j'ai vu Fripp en concert avec ses Frippertronics. Ce disque est avant-gardiste. Le grand Robert s'amuse comme un fou.
This is pretty much Fripp having got Possessed by the genius of Pere Ubu . The Pere Ubuisms in this can´t simply be ignored like that . I hear Dave thomas all over this .
Fripp a modifié d'une manière ou d'une autre, par inadvertance et de manière inattendue, les critères d'évaluation de tous types de musiciens, a nettoyé l'iconostase sonore mondiale pour forcer les musiciens qui se respectent à mesurer leurs talents et de manière irréversible leur capacité à surprendre leur environnement
***** Hello Chuckles McGee! I recommend to You for looking this album on Ebay . If You are familiar with this webside that You can find something . I found CD release : Let The Power Fall on CD !!!! of Robert Fripp Around $20. I`m not sure about CD release : God Save The Queen? Apologize for that but similar like You I`m still looking for that release on CD . Also I would buy Vinyl then recording that from turn table to my computer - by sound forge audio studio ( SONY ) - but it`s still just an optional idea.... But isn`t still like origin CD release . Take care : Chuckles McGee
Оху@тельный альбом, я его понял с третьей попытки и охуил реальноб тут и панк и джаз и психодел, космическая не земная музыка которая не может остановиться
David Fodel I have the original vinyl and he is not listed on it anywhere... Byrne that is. Always wondered... maybe some kinda contractual thing with Sire that he got around by not being listed?
+CortoArmitage Actually, on the original release, one side was designated "Side A" and the other was designated "Side One." I always thought of the Frippertronics as being the introductory music, and the set ending with the discotronics. But your interpretation is just as valid, by design it seems.
Yeah, it was actually intended to be a two separate releases on a single LP: One titled "God Save the Queen" and one titled "Under Heavy Manners." (Also, I felt really smart one day when I realized that "Red Two Scorer" was an anagram of "Tower Records"!)
It is impossible to achieve the aim without suffering.
I always thought it was "It is impossible to achieve pain without suffering."
Once you know you have an unpleasant nature and dislike people, that is no obstacle to work.
It is impossible to aim without suffering a consequence... end of story......
I'm a lucky one to listen....
I am Glade to have this opportunity to have listen to the pure genius ..
Discipline is never an end in itself, only a means to an end.
the zero of the signified sounds so much like fela's riff from Talking Heads's Remain in Light, I love it

This has the sides flipped. "Under Heavy Manners" has David Byrne singing.

"Sunder Here Navy Man". The second track "The Zero Of The Signified"
has no vocals. Can't understand why these weren't dancefloor hits!
so we have fripp does talking heads on side a then on side b fripp plays with his delay pedal of the 70's in the 80s..!! sounds cool though..i like it
I have played them out on dancefloors in the past - and will again in the future. Always works.
Same here :-)
Evening Star was made in 1975 I have the original album from then, it is kind of worn out though but it is an import record.
the first track always cracks me up, reminding us why Fripp invites someone else to write lyrics for KC
I really think it’s about time that this album and the follow up, “1984” were released on cd so more people could listen to these stunning performances.
Speechless, is all I can say. This really speaks to a time-less experience, or something beyond time. Profound!!!
what is this music doing to my brainwaves? I may never be the same. thank god.

You are absolutely right. He assumes the same concept as Phillip Glass or Steve Reich.

Personally I much prefer ketamine. Sorry for wall of text and possible spelling errors but i hope it was informative.
+YOGSCAST Seagull Drugs are for week losers. Fuck them!
このアルバムは、太陽系各惑星、銀河系で最も売れている地球の音楽だ。
Resplendent in divergence .. .. .. The peak, the pyramidic, the apex. The blind man turning somersaults on the edge of a spinning coin, laughing, inexorably laughing .. ..
Yea this was and then Byrne/Eno did
"my life in the bush of ghosts"
Over this mother planet.
god save the fripp guitar tape loop queen
L. Simm Habib on vocals.
J'ai buzzé lorsque j'ai écouté ce disque la première fois. Ensuite j'ai vu Fripp en concert avec ses Frippertronics. Ce disque est avant-gardiste. Le grand Robert s'amuse comme un fou.
Up your Ism!
David Byrne singing backup
FRIPP!!!!!!!!!!
This is pretty much Fripp having got Possessed by the genius of Pere Ubu . The Pere Ubuisms in this can´t simply be ignored like that . I hear Dave thomas all over this .
Fripp a modifié d'une manière ou d'une autre, par inadvertance et de manière inattendue, les critères d'évaluation de tous types de musiciens, a nettoyé l'iconostase sonore mondiale pour forcer les musiciens qui se respectent à mesurer leurs talents et de manière irréversible leur capacité à surprendre leur environnement
Heard some disco comments, not sure its disco, will have to refit my glitterball, eitherway trance....
俺はもの心ついた頃から、成人した女性と遊びたいだけだったから。
If you are tired by the world outside, enter this one
When the hell with this album be on iTunes?
***** Hello Chuckles McGee!
I recommend to You for looking this album on Ebay . If You are familiar with this webside that You can find something .
I found CD release : Let The Power Fall on CD !!!! of Robert Fripp Around $20.
I`m not sure about CD release : God Save The Queen?
Apologize for that but similar like You I`m still looking for that release on CD . Also I would buy Vinyl then recording that from turn table to my computer - by sound forge audio studio ( SONY ) - but it`s still just an optional idea.... But isn`t still like origin CD release .
Take care : Chuckles McGee
Does anyone know where to buy this record?
www.amazon.com/Queen-Under-Heavy-Manners-pressing/dp/B00LU56INM - that's a quick search - I don't know if it has made it to CD or not.
Оху@тельный альбом, я его понял с третьей попытки и охуил реальноб тут и панк и джаз и психодел, космическая не земная музыка которая не может остановиться
僕幸一のアンディウォホールのmade in Japanは、気軽に触ったら大変ですね、これは、伝説作品ですから。
David Byrne on vocals, obviously. Sounds like he's improvising.
uncredited BTW.
David Fodel
I have the original vinyl and he is not listed on it anywhere... Byrne that is. Always wondered... maybe some kinda contractual thing with Sire that he got around by not being listed?
David Fodel
Absalm El Habib is meant to be Byrne. Like you say, contract/humour prob resulted in the pseudonim

フリップの真面目さは、全部拷問でした。
It's criminal to put an AD in the middle of one of these tracks
I'm looking for this album for years. Does anyone know where can I find it?
it`s sometimes on ebay to buy . I seen only L.P. vinyl record . I think C.D. can be more expensive .... Just try check on ebay
At my house. I found it at Reckless Records in Chicago for two bucks. Perfect condition. Sorry, I just had to brag on that. Good luck in your search!

the sides are reversed here.... it starts with ''under heavy manners'', not red 2 scorer.
+CortoArmitage Actually, on the original release, one side was designated "Side A" and the other was designated "Side One." I always thought of the Frippertronics as being the introductory music, and the set ending with the discotronics. But your interpretation is just as valid, by design it seems.
Yeah, it was actually intended to be a two separate releases on a single LP: One titled "God Save the Queen" and one titled "Under Heavy Manners."
(Also, I felt really smart one day when I realized that "Red Two Scorer" was an anagram of "Tower Records"!)
I was super confused when I first looked at the track listing here
フリップ自身も気ずいてたんだ、このアルバムは、宇宙意識の羅針盤だったと⁉️
またフリップだ、今度はまた、プラスチック成型拷問でした。
