Post Description

Studio Album, released in 1985, United Kingdom.


Fripp"s "The league of gentlemen" is an exceptional project. Robert"s recognizeable style of guitar playing is - as usual - imposing a uniqe, hypnotic atmosphere, but - what is new - sometimes humorous climate. Other musicians aren"t virtuosos but unexpectedly it is not a problem in this non-typical convention. From the other members of "The league..." I enjoy particularly Barry Andrews organ playing - maybe a little pushy and monotonyous in sound, but his role is for overestimating not on this LP. "God save the king" has it"s own taste, very specific, but memorable. It is one of these albums, that could involve you, or reject. I"m of course one from the first group, and I want to advice this a little forgotten position in Fripp"s discography. It as a fantastic experience, which was made in hard realities of eighties, and still sounds great. I don"t want to differ any track, because album is kept in one mood, and I think it would be purposeless at this time.
