Following the dissolution of the classic 70s Crimson lineup, Robert Fripp withdrew from public view during the mid 70s gradually reemerging as a guitarist - on Peter Gabriel's 1st three solo outings & David Bowie's (Heroes & Scary Monsters), & as a producer - of The Roches, Peter Gabriel & Daryl Hall. He also recorded & released a highly regarded solo debut 'Exposure' & developed the Frippertronics guitar system, for performance & further recording. Bill Bruford had led his own highly regarded band with Allan Holdsworth & Jeff Berlin, been a founder member of UK with former Crimson member John Wetton & performed with National Health, Pavlov's Dog & others. In 1981 Fripp began a new band with Bruford, Tony Levin (bass player with everyone from Paul Simon to Lou Reed to John Lennon to Peter Gabriel) & guitarist/singer Adrian Belew (who'd played with David Bowie, Frank Zappa & Talking Heads in the previous few years). Initially called 'Discipline,' the band quickly became the new, 1980s incarnation of King Crimson - with Discipline becoming the title of their 1st studio album issued in Oct. 1981. With the new lineup & release of Discipline, Fripp & co. had managed to delight fans, confound critics & pick up a substantial new audience along the way. King Crimson had also achieved a rare feat for a rock group - becoming one of the very few acts to release a classic album in three separate decades. From In the Court of the Crimson King in 1969, via Red in 1974 to Discipline in 1981, with differing lineups & radically different sounds the band's reputation for innovation & progression (in the best sense of the word) was unassailable.
