Robert Fripp and David Byrne team up on a "heavy" album track


Robert Fripp ( with David Byrne) : Under Heavy Manners


In March of 1980 Robert Fripp's sabbatical from King Crimson bore new fruit with the album God Save the Queen/Under Heavy Manners. The follow-up to Exposure consists of atmospheric Frippertronic instrumentals on Side A. Side B has what Fripp called "Discotronics", more tape loops but this time with a beat. With "Under Heavy Manners", we even get lyrics sung by David Byrne (billed as Absalm el Habib), as future touring head Busta Jones plays bass:

Solipsism 
Euphemism 
Pessimism 
Pointillism 
Flagellism 
Nihilism
