We know Fripp plays electric guitar in this track, included in "H to He, Who Am the Only One". The song is written by Hammill but... Dont you hear Fripp's hand in the instrumental passage between 5'00'' - 6'30''? ------------- Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion. |

I didn't know he played on that track. I also didn't know he played on Pawn Hearts.

Yes, always knew this and I LOVE his contributions to this recording. The production on this track (and album) always gets me; it's perfectly smokey. Hell, I pull the quote in my sig from this song!  ------------- "I am so prog, I listen to concept albums on shuffle." -KMac2021 |

The passage between 5 - 6,5 minutes sounds like a Kc's album, doesn't it?
Maybe Fripp helped in the writing. ------------- Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion. |

The entire bridge section and guitar reminds me of KC big time. Fripp 100%. You can almost taste it. ------------- "I am so prog, I listen to concept albums on shuffle." -KMac2021 |

I don't think it sounds like a Fripp composition; it is just a
Fripp solo. the riff is a typical VdGG riff. you might as well say Eno's "St. Elmo's Fire" was composed
by Fripp. by the way: VdGG are not the ones not to mention composers
