Customer Reviews

I think that it could be commercial
I purchased the original album upon release and wore it out. The strange diversity of musical styles was amazing to me. Then it was released on cd and some things were different and I liked it less - sorry I no longer remember those differences. Then come this remastered gem - with two discs. Ok, the first disc is the one I have loved for many years. Fripp bringing in his progressive friends and Terre Roche to produce an unbelievable piece of music. But now for the first time I can hear on the second disc Daryl Hall's vocals as they were meant to appear on the original album (D. Harry's vocals are still not available) I begin to understand what Fripp meant when the album started with "I think that it could be commercial". Imagine fripp and friends with Hall and Harry as contributors? One wonders if extraordinary things may have happened if the original Fripp concept had been realized. That is what makes this the most interesting and amazing expanded cd I have ever purchased. HA! Record company greed may have led to the production of one of the most amazing albums ever - yet one may still wonder at what might have been

Your House, My House
The art of a novel was initially released in June 1979, as Robert Fripp presented 15 brilliant chapters between the Preface and Postscript.

Through the ripping, punk-inspired, You Burn Me Up I'm A Cigarette, a special elegance in Mary, the enchantment in Here Comes the Flood and the Beat Generation colliding with new-wave in the title cut, this is a landmark release that retains a freshness and urgency some 30 years later.

The 2-disc set contains the original album release and 22 bonus cuts, with a booklet which has excerpts from Fripp's personal notes during the remastering process. Exposure is a portrait in sound where every listener will find a biographical sketch in the mix.

Get Exposed
I respect artists who want to be "out there" and I am ok with listeners who find some reward to listening to "out there" music, although I believe there are insecure folks who want to be hipper than thou and glom onto anything weird. I am not a real fan of Fripp, who likes to be out there, but I do believe it is genuine stuff and his fans have a genuine appreciation for it. On Exposure though he was clearly influenced by music and attitude of the NY scene in the late 70's. Lord knows no one will ever declare that Fripp was new wave, or punk but many of the songs here possess that freshness and aggressiveness that ironically took a considerable amount of air out of the Prog music's balloon. Yes, there are ambient noises and requisite weirdness on the album but when it rocks, it really delivers the goods. And the disparate group of artists he brings in will boggle your mind, and yet, it works. Check it out.
