In between splitting King Crimson in 1974 and forming a new line-up seven years later, Robert Fripp enjoyed New York’s postpunk underground, played with David Bowie and Blondie, aired live Frippatronics and released his first solo album, Exposure.
In 1981 he brought in drummer Bill Bruford, flamboyant singer-guitarist Adrian Belew and bassist Tony Levin, and that lineup recorded Discipline, Beat and Three Of A Perfect Pair.
