I feel an explanation is in order...
Crimson went through a number of incarnations in the seventies, all including Robert Fripp, until he went on an hiatus to study Gurdjieff, Bennett, et al, in the mid seventies.
In 1981, a new incarnation was formed, featuring himself, Bill Bruford (2 from 70s Crimson), plus Adrian Belew and Tony Levin. "Discipline", and two other albums were recorded before this incarnation went the way of all things. Meanwhile Fripp formed the guitar craft courses among other hobbies.
Finally, in 1994, yet another incarnation of Crimson was formed, again featuring Fripp, Bruford, Belew, and Levin. This time however they were joined by two others; Trey Gunn, and Pat Mastelotto. They recorded the VROOOM EP that year, before following it up with THRAK and the various PROJEKTS.
A year or two back Bruford left Crimson, whose last release was "The Construktion of Light(sic)" This year Crimson are intending to release an album with the working title, "Nuovo Metal". We wait with baited breath....
To finally clear it up, the band I saw was made up of ex-Crims from the early seventies period, 21st century schizoid man time, so yes, Fripp is still in King Crimson, but what he is up to at the moment is anyones guess |
