The League Of Gentlemen
Kingston Lacey
25 Feb 1980

Here’s another must-have catch fished from Mister Stormy’s poacher’s pouch. The LoG is on fine off-kilter trance-dance mode whilst Fripp offers the same kind of rip-shredding form that you hear on David Bowie’s Scary Monsters. Interestingly, the strident motif he plays sounds to these ears like a close cousin of the theme from The Sailor’s Tale. Either way this is 13 minutes of scorching stuff.

This track is available for download as part of a bumper collection of Mr Stormy's Monday Selections - his second year of random romps through the murky, cavernous DGM archives, torch in hand, fedora upon his head.

The next step is Discipline

The 1980s see a very different King Crimson incarnation originally touring under the name Discipline . The presence of Adrian Belew meant that Robert Fripp was working for the first time with another guitarist. This incarnation of Fripp, Belew, Bruford and Levin becomes the first one to record successive studio albums with the same lineup.
