   Another Album - prog related i think some PA members may find interesting.

Bill Rieflin : Birth of a Giant

The album features Robert Fripp & Trey Gun, both King Crimson members. 
While they were making Birth of a Gaint, they also made a Instrumental record, featured under Fripp on PA: THE REPERCUSSIONS OF ANGELIC BEHAVIOR, for details about that album check :

But back to birth of a gaint. 
Its a very special recording, very experimental sometimes, very Industrial sometimes, and a few moments 
sort of mainstream. Rieflin provides vocals somewhat similar to the sound of David Sylvian
but still the hole sound of this is a lot more Dangerous than the one you get on a Sylvian thing.
Anyone interested in Experimental music with an edge, should check this out !. If you prefer melodic rock
on the other hand, i guess you should stay away.

For those totaly Fripp, just get it !

	Is it similar to Angelic Behaviour? I love that one.

	That is a bit tough to answer, because the truth is Yes and No. The big diffrence is the Vocals, as soon as you ad vocals, the hole picture will allways change quite a bit. Another diffrence is that on Birth of a Gaint, there is 2-3 tracks, in a defenitely more upbeat Industrial/Noice Rock Genre, where on Angelic Behaviour everything is more relaxed, or Jazzy if you like. I dont know how much this helped, music in detail is hard to describe. Edited by tamijo - October 06 2009 at 14:23

	Bill Rieflin used to play drums for Ministry. This seems like it would be an unusual combination.
