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 !

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. ------------- Prog is whatevey you want it to be. So dont diss other peoples prog, and they wont diss yours |

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