Product description

Robert Fripp's debut solo album, "Exposure," is a groundbreaking work that blends ambient, art rock, progressive rock, drone, and experimental genres into a cohesive and captivating experience. Released on April 1, 1979, under the Discipline Global Mobile label, this album marked a significant milestone in Fripp's illustrious career, showcasing his innovative approach to music and his ability to push boundaries.

Recorded and mixed primarily at The Hit Factory in New York between January 1978 and January 1979, "Exposure" features a rich tapestry of sounds and textures. The album's lyrics were predominantly penned by Joanna Walton, Fripp's partner at the time, adding a poetic depth to the music. The album's original release includes iconic tracks like "Here Comes The Flood," "North Star," and "Chicago," which have since become staples in Fripp's discography.

"Exposure" is not just a collection of songs but a testament to Robert Fripp's versatility and creativity. The album's 1979 release peaked at No. 79 on the Billboard Album Chart, a testament to its enduring appeal and influence. Over the years, the album has been re-released in various editions, including a 2022 Fourth Edition mixed by Steven Wilson from the original multi-track tapes, offering fans a fresh perspective on this classic work.

From the hauntingly beautiful "Breathless" to the experimental "Urban Landscape," each track on "Exposure" offers a unique listening experience. The album's blend of ambient textures, progressive rock elements, and experimental sounds creates a sonic landscape that is both intimate and expansive. Whether you're a longtime fan of Robert Fripp or a newcomer to his music, "Exposure" is an essential addition to any music collection, offering a glimpse into the mind of one of rock's most innovative guitarists.

This LP was released in 1979.

  • Echoing Amazing Sounds

    5 out of 5 stars
    boxudOctober 27, 2025United States🇺🇸

    I can't say more than what's already been said... just wanted to echo that it sounds amazing.

  • SHM CD Outshines Vinyl

    5 out of 5 stars
    wucxjljulwq7September 15, 2025United States🇺🇸

    As a huge vinyl enthusiast...but...this SHM CD completely outshines every vinyl copy I own. The depth and detail are unparalleled. The drums hit so hard. You can actually pick up the vibrato on the bass guitar! The hammer striking the bass drum is audible. There's a constant drone in Disengage that's inaudible on vinyl. TRULY AMAZING.

  • Great Album

    5 out of 5 stars
    hupjcghodbh3May 5, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Called 'Fourth Edition'. An incredible album. You won't believe it till you listen! Far and away the GREATIST one of the three.

  • Vinyl's Low End Delivers Peace

    5 out of 5 stars
    katofuikMarch 17, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Incredible vinyl pressing. The low end on Chicago truly packs a punch. For Frippertronics, you need a peaceful setting, and this record provides just that.

  • Top-Notch Pressing, Version Variances

    5 out of 5 stars
    nomkwdturyf8August 30, 2024United States🇺🇸

    Fantastic pressing! The audio quality is top-notch. Two completely distinct versions compared to the EGLP41-(Fourth edition)- that I own already. The lyric sheet is for the Fourth Edition.....so a mistake must've happened somewhere. Some of the lyrics on Sides 3+4 are hard to make out-lyrics would've been useful. EGLP 41=top version-(Fourth edition), by a huge margin....we now need that reissued-(it's now on 27/5/22). Sides 1+2 of the review lp-(Version 1)=2nd best version. Sides 3+4 of the review lp-(Version 3)=3rd best version. Wow!
