  • " "God Save the King" is a remix of "The Zero of the Signified" with a new overdubbed guitar solo - it has nothing to do with "God Save the Queen" which was a genuine frippertronic piece. "

    This is maybe Fripp's most outrageous solo ever. The end of it is sheer filth. It's great.

      It bears a striking resemblance to his soloing on Requiem (from Beat).

    Is this the track of which Mr. Fripp made clear, in its album’s liner notes, that its six-note circular guitar foundation, played in its background throughout, was accomplished not with a tape loop, nor with any kinds of track alterations or edits, but was instead played straight through from beginning to end without interruption? Because if it is, then listening again today with a little more playing experience under my belt, I can feel my hand cramping at just the thought of it!

    • @mateuszzz7256
      @mateuszzz7256 3 роки тому +6

      I believe its absolutely possible, Fripp is just an absolutely inimitable player - Once he said he had had a dream where he had seen new structures that were encouraging him to play then when he is back. Furthermore, he was practicing for a month to keep up a stable pace for Fracture. It’s definitely inner space

    • @andsalomoni
      @andsalomoni 2 роки тому +1

      Yes it is, Fripp wrote that this was the second attempt, because the first broke up after a couple of minutes.
      A difficult guitar part to play, but with little scope anyway.
