Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
The album it's from is a high water mark for them and unless someone is more likely to be into the older more proggy stuff (which I am not) the place I'd recommend people start with Crim.
Personnel: Robert Fripp (of course, all versions of Crim are his project/vision)(guitars/effects - soundscape stuff etc), Adrian Belew (Zappa, Talking Heads etc)(guitars, vocals), Tony Levin (Peter Gabriel etc)(bass, Stick), Bill Bruford (Yes)(drums).
From the back cover: "Discipline is never an end in itself, only a means to an end."
Another couple standout tracks:
Frame By Frame (Actually this is one of my favorite songs by anyone btw.)
Indiscipline - which brings us to a couple favorite highly applicable quotes:
"Basically, I like the idea that Robert has mentioned before. You offer a piece of candy to the audience, and when they start to take it, you punch them in the face."
-- Adrian Belew
"My only problem with King Crimson... OK, I have a few problems..."
