After the breakup of King Crimson in 1974, Robert Fripp embarked on an extended hiatus away from the public eye. Moving from the UK to New York in February 1978, he returned as a producer, solo artist and "Wild Card" collaborator with an impressive array of artists including Daryl Hall, Blondie, Peter Gabriel and David Bowie. Fripp's first solo album, "Exposure," was released in 1979. It was followed by two more solo albums, "Under Heavy Manners / God Save The Queen" and "Let The Power Fall", and in 1980 he formed The League Of Gentlemen. This group, described as a new wave dance band, led to the reformation of King Crimson in 1981. "Exposure" retains the power and vitality that made it so captivating on its first release. One of the seminal albums of the era in a new guise.
