I have so many albums with Fripp on I've lost count. And he always improves the music. Great musician.
Thing about him that I really appreciate is the way he consistently gets involved with interesting people and projects, and is uncompromising about not doing things just to pay the bills. If he's on something it strikes me it's because he's genuinely interested in it and feels he can contribute something positive and actively creative to it.
His technical ability is quite amazing, and as far as the purely mechanical aspects go he's as good as anyone out there. His "feel" for
what to play is rather different to anyone else I've come across (not necessarily a good thing, depending on your tastes!), and he's usually instantly recognisable through the speakers. Fave Fripp Moment is the outro to Bowie's "It's No Game", though the super sustaining long note riff to Heroes is a close rival.
