As a leading e-commerce website in the music industry, Panegyric provides an extensive collection of albums, merchandise, and exclusive releases. With its informative and authoritative tone, the label ensures that fans can easily discover and enjoy the extraordinary talent within their carefully curated catalog.

Robert Fripp is a British guitarist, keyboards player, writer and producer. He is best known as a founder and only continuous member of King Crimson, from their debut album "In The Court Of The Crimson King" in 1969, through to the most recent studio album "The Power to Believe" in 2003. With over 50 years as a professional musician and 60 years as a guitarist, Fripp has made significant contributions to the music industry.

Fripp is also recognized for his development of Frippertronics and Soundscapes, innovative methods that involve creating unique sounds with just one guitar using tape/digital delay, rack-mount synthesizer units, and other effects. He co-owns and operates the record label DGM (Discipline Global Mobile) which specializes in releasing King Crimson material and side projects from various KC members.

In addition to his musical endeavors, Fripp founded Guitar Craft seminars in the mid-1980s. These seminars later evolved into Guitar Circles across North America, South America, and Europe. He continues to direct Guitar Circles along with the Symphony of Crafty Guitarists. Recently, his first widely published book "The Guitar Circle" was released by Panegyric Publishing in association with DGM.

2021 remaster by David Singleton of God Save The Queen: by the time Exposure had been released in june 1979 Robert Fripp had already embarked on one of the most unconventional tours to support a new record that had ever been undertaken; record shops (including Rough Trade West), offices, public spaces, canteens, planetariums and, later, some conventional venues and theatres. Accompanied by a tour manager, a Les Paul guitar, a pedalboard, and two revox tape recorders were packed into a car and they crisscrossed their way across Europe and America. That tour in turn provided the material for many further recordings.

Under Heavy Manners: side two of the lp was given over to the next phase of Fripp’s drive to 1981. Sometimes referred to as discotronics, Fripp intended to create a bespoke meeting place between Frippertronics’ repetitious loops and a pulsating four-to-the-floor beat. With bassist Busta Cherry Jones and drummer Paul Duskin, the trio laid down a taut minimalist groove against Frippertronics loops lifted from the solo tour earlier in the year. The trio line- up was augmented by David Byrne as guest vocalist on the title track. Reviewing God Save The Queen/Under Heavy Manners, Melody Maker’s Allan Jones lauded the Frippertronics pieces but prophetically concluded: “it’s to Under Heavy Manners that one eventually looks for a key to fripp’s musical future. He, as much as anyone, needs someone to force an entry into areas He’s not fully able to unlock himself. Under heavy manners suggests he’s looking in the right directions.”
