Album Notes & Community Reviews

Concluding King Crimson's hiatus, Robert Fripp immersed himself in the New York punk and avant-garde scene to create this staggeringly diverse solo debut. Featuring an incredibly eclectic cast of vocalists—including Peter Gabriel and Daryl Hall—'Exposure' weaves heavily dissonant, anxious art punk with beautiful ambient Frippertronics and astonishing technical prowess.
