Thanks, a lot of interesting reading there! Like the talking about "an
instrument becoming a new instrument in its own right". What I like
the most from RF is the early Crimson stuff. I bought Red already in
-75 and still like that Big Muff styled guitar sound ("Starless" for
example). But I always thought it was a bit of a shame that they
brought in Mel Collins but then he and Fripp never played melody lines
together in the songs. I wished they would have done that instead of
just throwing in a sax solo here and there in songs (but note that
this was well taken care of in Prince Rupert Awakes on the album
Lizard, that I think was recorded pretty close in time). He didn't
talk much about that period, maybe it was still too close in time when
the interview was done?
